Fedde/Pham/$ to STL, Kopech to LAD, Miguel Vargas + prospects to Sox
Poor guys... pennant race to all time worst record chase in the blink of an eye.

And aided what will very likely be a playoff opponent..as seemingly comes down to StL SD and NYM. Who knows, maybe the Braves collapse down the home stretch?

Can't Manfred block it? Favor to St. Louis?

There has to be a prospect or prospects coming from St Louis or it's the end of Getz as someone that anyone could reasonably defend.

Cease has no hitter going into 8th vs. WSH
Even more the Thorpe is untraceable and clearly better than Cease already. SSS epitomized there for sure. Let's not forget Burger as well... that's looking worse and worse by the day.

Would dumping Benintendi's $50 million remaining on LAD
Moncada? Jimenez? Benintendi? Fletcher? And Lee looked totally hopeless last year.

Couldnt trust Cease back then.

How the F are we ever going to build an offense?
Uribe .111/.514 in about 100 minor league at bats. He will absolutely fit right in.

https://www.perfectgame.org/players/playerprofile.aspx?ID=634446 Jose Contreras' son and Uribe Jr. will fix everything.

Will convnce Beni to defer current $$$ into future for 15-25% added to deal.

Nearly guaranteeing a Top 2-3 pick for 2026...in the process. Major League III/IIII/V.

The crappy washed up vets committee must be paying Getz more in kickbacks for signing their last leg clients than he gets from JR for covering for him.

All allocated to PR for stadium project with lobbying Springfield Gov Mayor national and local reps State Senate etc. More ticket sales reps.

Until it happens with LAD or NY Mets or even the O's with Loewenstein now the PE/VC financial backstop.

Rooting against Matsumoto Ohtani Betts Freeman Kershaw etc., seems... somehow not quite right either. Chelsea FC fans and anti-fans surely can "commiserate" with the wide-ranging Boehly feelings though.

for Crochet and a Type B prospect coming to the Sox just to provide Getz and JR a little cover end your Sox fandom until JR and his family are completely out of the management picture?? Or done with Sox period... just like they'd moved to Nashville in the middle of the night in a backroom deal? What's the lowest valued 25 roster guy or MiLB prospect you could possibly accept in return without giving up completely? Thoughts?? Finally, do you feel most upset with Hahn, Pollock/Kimbrel, Getz or JR for creating this situation in the first place???

Used to be 10% for cap gains. We had this conversation recently and estate hit would be at least 20% unless it is given to a trust I think...but you'd have to ask a corporate tax lawyer. Someone said as much as 40% but that seems way too high. In the 90s something like 55-59% for highest tranches or tiers of an estate, partially why they balanced budgets under Clinton. And the lowest amount to be tax eligible was $650-750k and that was basically doubled for couples. Now it's some crazy number well over $10 million that the 2-3/10ths of 1% might actually pay.

They won't give more than one of those two for Fedde. Two for Crochet. Or Salas moved but that's highly highly unlikely at this point. De Vrieze not exactly tearing up the MW League either.

Now it's baseball more for fantasy sports, individual players, Padres to have a team in the other league and stay abreast of everything for fantasy again. Took Robert in to my team and that disaster is being rectified. Even bought a Robert autographed rookie for "just" $60 in Puerto Rico. Gunnar Henderson at a cool $300, autographed rookie card.

Everyone is baseball is going to absolutely hate the Dodgers again. Not that Matsumoto Buehler Kershaw and Glasnow have been close to worth it.

Still can be moved but ineligible for post season...in August. Or that rule changed too?

How the F are we ever going to build an offense?
White Sox attendance per game 17,564 Indiana Fever 16,898 Fever will likely catch up to Sox average over their last 11 home games with just 16 games remaining and the playoff race heating up after the Olympic Break.

They're down about $200 million from their highest valuation point by Forbes.

Trade thoughts
Now we have to blame Sox fans for being too loyal when they should be 29th or 30the right there with Oakland and running this team out on a rail out of the city with torches and pitchforks.

7-28 Gamethread: Mariners at Sox (1:10pm)
Speaking of Winkler...Barry would have been much more intimidating in Springfield.
