Zavala needs to OPS at least 775-825 to be back on the radar again, and play above average CF defense...and neither of those other two guys are likely to be much to write home about. One year from now we might have already moved on... Wilyer Abreu was a 3 fWAR outfielder last year for Boston...and nobody was all that excited about acquiring him. So many things would have to go perfectly for Baldwin or Ramos to approach that number.

Ishbia increasing minority stake in Sox
It's going to have to be another of these "threatening the 2024 White Sox/1962 expansion Mets" seasons in terms of ineptitude to get him to finally capitulate...more signs at the ballpark/media and fan pressure, because "Sell the Team" doesn't quite work for signs and chants if he's already technically done that. More like, "relinquish control of the team!"...but that's not exactly an exciting/exhilarating chant now, is it?

What I mean is we should be looking for the type of players who at least theoretically COULD BE options down the line for when the team's decent again. Thinking here of guys in the past like an Alejandro de Aza or Daniel Palka (defense was too poor, too much hit and miss) or whatever were rewarded with available playing time (in the past) for these two upcoming seasons. If we admit to ourselves that none of the current options on the 40 man roster...and none of the veterans (other than MAYBE Benintendi) will still be around after July 2026... Veras, Tatum, Mitchell, etc., seemingly aren't legitimate options. Maybe maybe Baldwin if he's not yet found a home in the middle infield...? George Wolkow's probably another year behind Braden, thinking mid to late 2028 coming from his raw Midwest high school profile. Of course, he could just as easily end up at 1B. Andre Lipcius is one of the few hitters early this spring that's been impressive, but he's more of an infielder at this point. And he's already 26...so a bit of a long shot for the corners based on previous profile. positions 3B (224) ... 2B (156) ... 1B (127) ... LF (15) ... SS (9) ... dh (2) ... RF (1) Bonemer if someone holds SS consistently at the major league level before he's ready?

I guess I was going back to the 2001-02 when the Commissioner's office was (first) threatening the Twins with contraction. The process of getting the stadium built started from that point, culminating in 2010 and then all those consecutive losses to the Yankees in the post-season, haha. And the (sort of) end of lots of traumatic losses by the White Sox to the Twins up there.

The concern is being AT LEAST semi-competitive in late 2026 and then a .500ish team going into 2027. Braden Montgomery is the ONLY solution at this point that will address the future. But that's a long two years. All those names (other than Baldwin, maybe) are completely irrelevant. And next year (2026) they need to up their win total into the 60's or low 70's...they'll have another year where all they can do is draft in the 10-15 range anyway. This year, playing for the best possible draft position DOES make sense.
