We Thought We Have A Good Bullpen?
It's not just the bullpen.....its the pitching staff overall (outside of Lynn's complete game). We are falling behind way too many batters which is giving them the advantage and leading to high pitch counts (along with absurdly long games). I think we are seeing it was a mistake to replace Cooper and I expect to see Dave Duncan brought in at some point to help fix this problem.

Royals vs Sox Sunday Matinee...1:10 pm CST First Pitch
Vaughn will be a good major league hitter someday but he isn't now. Right now, he reminds of Moncada during his first year in the majors. Trust in Tony and allow Andrew time to become the player deserving of key ABs.

LaRussa is looking like a genius this inning!

Contract extension for Yermin?
If you don’t think Yermin can still be a superstar into his 40s, you obviously haven’t been watching him. Why let him walk and play the final 10 years of his career for another team? Don’t you want him wearing a White Sox hat when he’s inducted into Cooperstown?

Contract extension for Yermin?
The closest hitter we’ve had to this caliber in my lifetime is Jose Abreu. It would be nice to have Yermin around after Jose retires to give Trout some competition for MVP on a yearly basis.

Contract extension for Yermin?
Any idea if the Sox have started negotiating a long term deal with Mercedes to buy out a couple years of free agency? I’d love to see him retire in a White Sox jersey but I fear we won’t be able to keep him past arbitration years unless we get something done soon.

4/4 GT- 7:37 CT- Sox vs Halos
No starter has gone more than 5 1/3 innings in any game thus far and our entire staff has been working behind in the count on almost every hitter. Those two facts are a recipe for disaster and I'd have to say Ethan Katz grades out an F so far after 4 games.

4/4 GT- 7:37 CT- Sox vs Halos
This team misses Coop. Pitching is a disaster now. Time to bring him back now or this season may fail to reach it's potential.

4-3 GT: CWS @ LAA (8:07 PM CT)
I wonder if we could bring Coop back. Someone needs to fix this bullpen.

What if Yermin Mercedes keeps hitting?
He could go 6 for 6 in an extra inning game (or a game we put up 20+runs)

4-2 GT: CWS @ LAA (8:38 PM CT)
Too bad Hawk doesn't still do games......can you imagine his excitement about Yermin-mania?
-
4-2 GT: CWS @ LAA (8:38 PM CT)
Can we lock up Yermin to an extension tomorrow? He's the future of this franchise!

4-2 GT: CWS @ LAA (8:38 PM CT)
We can trade Vaughn......we found our long term DH! (kidding....sort of)
-
4-1 GT: CWS @ LAA (9:05 PM CT)
I think Madrigal is the perfect compliment to our lineup. Sure, most of his hits will be singles. But many of those will turn solo homers by others into 2 run shots.

ELOY HURT! (3/25 Update: Torn Pectoral Tendon, Out 5-6 months))
What about Puig?

Vera to Sign today per DVS
Aren’t Cespedes and Vera already stateside? I thought Cespedes was in camp already?
-
How serious is expansion in the next 5 years?
Vegas will definitely get a team. After seeing the tremendous success of the Golden Knights and the Raiders, MLB wants a piece of the action.

Cole Hamels Thread
Won’t we have problems with the 40 man roster if we add all of them?

Sox resign Rodon 1 yr /3m official, Vargas DFA
Wouldn’t it be a hoot if Rodon got his shit together this year and out pitched Gio, Dallas, and Lance? If he could win the Cy Young this year, I doubt anyone would be complainig about the 3 million dollar signing!

Blue Jays acquire Steven Matz
Im glad we weren’t in the bidding for him

The Wainwright to the Cards Thread
The Lynn trade wasn’t happening without Dunning and this added to our depth. Lynn should be good for 200 IP while Dunning would have likely done only 140 or so.

the old Corbin Burnes thread, we have a new Burnes thread
Its about Corbin Burnes

Trade Whispers - Starting Pitchers
I don’t get why everyone seems intent on trading Madrigal. Granted, he doesn’t have power, but we need guys to get on base for the rest of our power hitters to drive home. He’ll hit .300 plus every year (maybe .320+), strike out little, and provide good defense. We need players like this to play this role and trading him would leave a hole in our lineup.
