If I were to channel the white Sox ethos it to me points to JD Martinez, Matt Moore, Quintana.

Not sure there are two tanners allowed in an org.

Removed @Chicago White SoxS reply because when placed next to each other you can see how caulfield is arguing against himself.

Sorry for crashing the mychal givens thread. Yay middle relievers

I mean … yes this is probably how it goes but not sure it goes much different anyway. Cease / Rodon is a real 1-2 punch though.

Sorry guys, I’m never gonna give up on CP

“They said we would never trade assets for a pitcher we just declined to get an asset for because we were scared he’d sign, and now we’ve checked that box” - Hahn, August 2nd 2022 (rodon would be a great get and expiring pitchers are a good idea given our farm)

I don’t understand what I’m reading here

I feel like we used to get content from the draftee camp.

Ramos Sosa Shilling Martin Burke (just wanted to give you the caulfield experience)

I don’t mind walking that rate when you are at a 30% k rate and fine contact.

The funny retort here is the Sox targeting a player who performs the worst at home.

That said depending on cost I would not mind Mahle. Going on positive regression is not a bad idea, but is risky. That is of course what the braves did!

So below average offense.

Can’t express how much good content I’d write about the Sox declining Rodons QO, then trading an exorbitant sum for Mahle post shoulder

Actual availability would be nice.

I know it’s a great day to look at them but I actually hadn’t looked at Ramos numbers in a while, not since his hot start. Really good! He only has a 17% k rate and an 8% BB rate. He’s looking at, hopefully, maybe 20 HRs and 20 doubles. Still 2.5 years younger than A+, and all of the above are bests. Another prospect getting better as they see increased competition.

What is the pro Tyler Mahle case? Just Bounceback/FIP stuff?

We would be like 5 wins better with schwarber.

This run from cease is every bit as good as that one Arietta run that won him a cy young but with about 1/100th of the fanfare

Not trying to take anything away from Kelley but Jesus Valles followed him up and also tore through that lineup (and valles isn’t good).

Oh 2 home runs from Gladney not just one?

Don’t forget we also have a maxed out budget.
