A huge upgrade from worst of all time.

Guessing no one wants him.

Sure, because their ownership will spend, and the Sox wouldn't.

Well you also downgraded prospect values in two straight posts, so it kind of sounded like it was a good deal the non-prospect way.

Didn't you just say this wasn't an impressive return?

Always the fun of reading too much into a short term trend. We saw a bunch moved this time.

I wonder if any other Pope's had this weirdness when dealing with people from their home regions?

I just can't imagine how you look at this steaming pile of dog water and think, yes, more of that! Are there Sox fans who are that desperate for something to grab on to?

THat was always the danger here. The Sox have guys, but like 3rd tier guys for the most part.

There should be some back end guys.

6 hours and 15 minutes to go. It is crazy that the Sox have made all of 1 move.

This is why you explore the market for Grant Taylor.

The contract that was made public literally said it couldn't happen before 2029, right?

They even have Benny playing defense

Trade deadline shows up and everyone is hitting like they want to be traded.

HBP on thumb

Can I interest you in trading them for older relievers?

Oh god.

I mean I would like to see a trade return that shows this first. But sure, pop off.

Imagine if we had signed a flip candidate who was more than a platoon player and could have gotten something better? Nah, it's the complainers fault.

Which should be fine with the timeline most of our position prospects are on.

And just thinking outloud without seeing the kid, this reads like a Cannon/Burke/Davis type of guy with mid to back rotation stuff and go out there every 5 days and give you six OK innings on a typical basis.

Or he isn't lazy, and the Brewers just made it make more sense. Sometimes it isn't the message, but the messenger. That doesn't even mean it is a White Sox problem, but sometimes just hearing the same thing a different way just works.

Beating the pre-emptive complaining about complaining... This seems about a fair return. Sure it isn't a positional return, but if the pitching offers are that much higher, we definitely still need pitching.
