I would trade Robert and Cease if the offer is good enough to warrant. I would not trade them for a dime less than their worth however. The truth is Robert's value will never be higher. He is controlled, healthy and producing. Unfortunately, You can't say that has been the case for most of his career. If you can get a collection of good minor league prospects than you should do it. I would say the package would have to start with 3 top 100 prospects with at least one of them in the top 100. That would be the start of the conversation. Sure, you can try to win with him but is Jerry going to go out and spend 80+ million/ Year to rebuild a starting staff like they will need too. I would say probably not. You look around at the teams that are good this year. A large part is by having cost controlled good players and that starts in the minor league system. If we had a loaded system I would say lets keep our really good players. But we don't. Which means at best running out mediocre squads for the next 3 years. I would just rather rip the bandaid off. Let me suffer for another 2 years with the hope that something better is coming than live in mediocre. I dont think the thought of the rebuild was the issue but rather the execution.

I am interested to see the return on the rest of the rentals for this trade deadline and how it compares

When I suggested trading him- this is why.. He has not shown that he stay healthy consistently.

This is a tough game to be at.

It’s the offense… Don’t give a s%*# how good your pen is eventually they are going to give up some runs

Gavin Sheets has to be on the hot seat at this point. He is what he is… Do you bring up Colas and hope he figures it out. Probably a little better in the outfield than Sheets.

Because its Trash. The top 3 prospects in a bottom 5 system have been on the IL till recently. Nobody in particular has really impressed. Maybe in the latter half the year interest will pick up when Montgomery and Ramos play on a regular basis.

So undisciplined

Moncadas left handed swing can be so pretty when it’s right.

It was tightness in the hip

I feel like the momentum is building for this team. Quality Starting Pitching. Once Hendriks comes back you will have 9th-Hendricks 8th-Kelly 7th- Santos For the offense really happy to see insurance runs in the late innings. Far too often we score early and try to just hold on. Keep putting the runs up late. Next 10 games are against Indians, Tigers and Angels. We need 7-8 of these games to really start making that climb back to .500.

@ptatc Giving up my Gamethread responsibilities as my prediction of a sweep falls short. However, I still standby my 40-20 prediction.

Once Hendriks comes back and with Crochet back. The additions of Santos and Middleton- the Sox may have something in the bullpen.

One thing that is weird about this team is their really is no pattern to the bullpen. I realize thats in part Liam being out and everybody imploding for the first month.

You can see how much this team has drained the board. 1/3 of the game still left and we are ready to waive the white flag on the two run game. Not that I blame anybody

Great play. Hanser should be on 2nd Base.

How about that bottom of the line up, Eh?

Good Morning White Sox Fans! Lets Play Some Day Baseball! Cease ( 4.86 ERA) vs Allen (3.43 ERA) Hows everybody watching today? Who's watching Gameday at work? Tingling in your nose? That not seasonal allergies but your favorite baseball team doing some sweeping #GoodGuysWhereBlack Lets GO!

Clevinger (4.79 ERA) vs Battenfield ( 4.45 ERA) The Man in The Black Hat is here to stay on the South Side Who ya got going deep tonight- I'm thinking Moncada or Benintendi Positive Vibes Only Forum- Everybody Else Hit the Back Button! #GoodGuysWhereBlack LEGGO!

Couldn't agree more. Makes no sense to have him out there

I feel like the guy should win MVP every year.

Lets fucking go boys! I smell good things cooking!

I realize that I should probably edit the poor grammer. But- at this point Im owning it and saying f*** it.

This is the start of the stretch where this team plays up to its potential. Starts with a sweep of Indians. White Sox go 40-20 over the next 60 games and lead the AL Central by the end of it. #GoodGuysWhereBlack Lets GO.

I dont agree with people on this board complaining about defense but then support a move like this. I would most certainly have Eloy in the outfield than Burger at 3B and Yoan at 2B. It doesnt make any sense. Burger is a great story but Im not sold yet. He is very much held up by his large slugging percentage and his K rate is still too high to count on any consistant production. Keep Yoan where he is at. He is having a good season thus far.
