Or they give Acuna SS, lol. Montgomery to 3B...Vargas first. Gonzalez only has 18 minor league games at third.

Meidroth is better at SS. Gonzalez would be 2B.

Velo?

Peters really had a hit, Brooke?

It's like post 2003 Loiaza. Minus the drug cartels, hopefully.

Psycho Antonacci going to hurt himself.

Tyler Eisert? Brandon? Schweitzer Stone corrected him quickly.

Armour?

JR $$$$$ Getz wasn't convincing enough, apparently. Strange that he now holds ontoAcuna so dearly.

But can he play the outfield? He can certainly DH. Or they could have kept working with Mike Soroka...now AZ is enjoying all the work the Sox and Nats as bottom 3 teams invested into him. Only $7.5 million.

Here's another option for Tray JR Ishbia https://sports.yahoo.com/articles/sacramento-officials-reveal-campaign-mlb-233418118.html

nvm

Nobody in ATL? Feel much better about Lackey's power translating with wooden bats. https://www.cbssports.com/mlb/news/mlb-draft-prospects-2026-ncaa-baseball-tournament/ https://www.baseballamerica.com/stories/scouting-vahn-lackey-an-outlier-athlete-excellent-defensive-catcher-coming-into-newfound-power/&sa=U&ved=2ahUKEwiHma3Nv9-UAxVjCTQIHZA3HbUQFnoECAoQAg&usg=AOvVaw1Z9m7x5OWyGXAe8-3M8ucy

Gilbert can at least eat innings. There's specifically where you miss Vasil.

As long as the kid can get the runner in from third with less than two outs.

So very generous his very own owners' group suggested he double his payroll from 2026 to 2027!!!

Why would anyone take a GM job where the owner is constantly coercing him into bad moves due to finances? Shouldn’t he be coercing the owner into spending? Just like Branch Rickey did time and time again. And from all the reporting Brooks Boyer is the one who convinced JR that Murakami could actually be profitable for the team to sign.

Except Hicks is beyond redemption. They could have drafted Sandlin for $397,500 in the 11th round instead of now paying $13 million or whatever…since Hicks is already a sunk cost with a negative fWAR value. Só the real cost is actually closer to $15 million.

But they also added Hicks Newcomb Fedde Hays and Dominguez in the weeks right after Robert was traded

Why would you abandon 40-45% of the third largest media market in the US when your place of work and dream estate that you painstakingly built are both in Chicago? Also, which city promised even 50% public funding for a baseball stadium if the Sox were to move? Not to mention the rail/yard parcels he's now connected to...he's just doing that for fun and giggles? Misdirection?

Why would the Dodgers sign Sato? Sato, according to ESPN.com's Jorge Castillo, will be posted in ***2027***. With Max Muncy at the age of 35 and Teoscar Hernandez being in the last year of his deal during the 2027 season, the Dodgers could look to add another big Japanese name to their squad in Sato. 6 days ago Dodgers Yankees Phillies all heavily scouting him. The attention Sato is generating remains undeniable — representatives from the Mets, Angels, Diamondbacks, Cubs, Cardinals, Reds, and Tigers were also present. (yahoo sports) Sox are highly unlikely to get into a bidding war here with all big spenders but the Blue Jays involved. Seiya Suzuki will be a FA for the Cubs as well, afaik.

If he's posted well before December 1st. Two schools of thought are big market teams will rush out to make deals that they believe will be grandfathered into the new agreement...the othbefore smaller market teams will wait for the new landscape to emerge before making any considerable financial commitments. That said, Skubal and Sato are the only two slated to get over $100+ million FA deals. https://www.baseball-reference.com/register/player.fcgi?id=sato--000ter OPS numbers skyrocketing up by the year...

White Sox making it into every article these days lol "The league’s proposal, if accepted, would reportedly go into effect beginning in 2027. It reportedly includes a salary floor of $171.2 million, meaning teams such as the Athletics, Chicago White Sox, Cleveland Guardians and Miami Marlins, among others, would have to drastically increase payroll ahead of next season. The proposed salary cap is reportedly $245.3 million, meaning teams such as the Los Angeles Dodgers, New York Mets and New York Yankees, among others, would have to cut payroll ahead of next year. The league’s proposal also reportedly includes a 50-50 revenue split between the league and its players, per Rogers, who reported that the salary cap would increase in future years based on league revenue." yahoo sports
