Looked like Sosa hit that off of the bounce.

Look, this team is going to be bad for the near to mid future, at the very least. If you don't have the time now to develop young kids, you never will. You also need faith in your dev team to draft guys like this.

Eh, you do have to have SOME talent. We have been churning some TRASH through our system.

Let's be honest, they pretty much need everything, except maybe Catcher.

The last time in my life I put less effort and time into the White Sox was after 1994.

And they also have a history of developing pitching, both from inside and outside of the organization. With hitting, they have nothing.

It feels like this group might be working in their redirection techniques with all of the contradictory rumors floating around. I don't remember there being any talk of Hagen last year, and then poof there he was. Be interesting to see who ISN'T being talked about that would fit their needs best.

And there is the move of the goalposts. I know you want to take your little victory lap here, but if you want to disqualify news reports on this topic, you can't take your lap either because now you also have no proof at what these players relative values were over the winter.

It's not a rumor, it's a news report. Hopefully you understand the difference.

Nastrini they sent out, but Capra they DFAd. So weird.

You are trying to take a victory lap by pretending that everything you don't like isn't true, all so you can come back and try claim a win. We have that reporting, whether it hurts your feelings or not.

Ok, this is hilarious.

They aren't going to say anything publicly until a deal is done. Good businessmen don't negotiate in public.

Considering we know the Reds offered Arroyo and another top 5 prospect if the Sox picked up salary in the off season, you were wrong.

Final score: game called

Both teams will lose this trade by all likelihood. It's trash for trash.

They didn't start for years, so no, they weren't.

While rushed to the majors, neither Sale nor Crochet were close to ready to be major league starters

It IS the one thing they have a decent history of.

I understand the need to declare victory, but one game is the ultimate SSS.

Well that an Sosa and Vargas have never been regarded as equals, so no one expected the same final result from them. The fact that Sosas results have been within shouting distance of Vargas is the only reason to even compare the two.

Bold of you to assume there is a point.

Yeah, no matter what you want to say about the 23/24 off season, not moving him again this off season with the Reds deal was bad, and has only gotten worse as this season has gone on.

He was there in person, so he saw it if he wanted to.
