So he profiles as a pure CFer or more of a corner guy? Obviously if he's lacking any one off the charts tool like James Beard speed...he better at least be an excellent defender in this new Getz system of "defense first."

Where is he in the Top 30? Any reason to believe he could beat the odds and become a major league regular?

Dave Wilder probably a bridge too far on the redemption tour. Wes Helms?

Tens of thousands of dollars at autograph shows the coming two decades....but 1/25th or 1/50th of his potential take as a HoFer.

Such as Daniels or Nix...Penix, etc. Daniels up to third pick in a number of mocks, Nix and Penix in the teens usually. Of course, SF fortuitously survived both Garoppolo and Lance, no worse for wear. The anti-Bears.

A trade for a pitcher like Cease should HURT the Orioles to trade for. Any team can trade away 10 Basabes or Diaz's...but you have to nail the headliner and then decide quantity vs. deeper quality for the second.

Ohtani lol.

Because any of those five toolers would require much more than $75 million to sign/extend...especially Luis Robert, Jr.

Expected a Buddy Biancalana or Alcides Escobar acquisition announcement as we slowly transform ourselves into the Omaha Royals...

I know his dad, lol...catcher, Gonzalez played for the Pirates, Augusta Sally from 1994-95.

Kirby or Gilbert? They will have to empty out the farm.

Surprising we didn't have a more productive deadline with KW and Hahn actively working so well together...Getz was likely the icing on the cake. So Chris must have agreed on trading Burger over Anderson.

Both GMs have jobs to do. The Orioles are under more pressure from the East than the Getz is from Reinsdorf. White Sox only seem to care about saving money at this point. Certainly not the fans.

Seriously...when opposing teams are down and desperate....coming to their board to lord over yet another #1 farm system that they almost completely refuse to trade from isn't going to go over very well.

You would think he was a 2017-2019 White Sox fan...too cocky before they'd even really accomplished anything.

And Kjerstad has to hit without any other dynamic tools and limited positional flexibility...

Why would the White Sox possibly want Wells? Just like the Bummer trade...the Orioles will push back guys on the bottom 10 of the big league roster they don't want to pay full freight. Would rather have Santander or Mullins to flip and/or solidify outfield defense compared to Sheets...if they have already given upon on Colas.

In GRF vs. Safeco?

Whatever happens now, if he goes to the Orioles, it's going to end up with a 2nd UCL surgery just out of spite...just like the same fate if the Sox hold onto him too long and push their luck to the TDL. Not that Dylan deserves it in any way shape or form, but just because of the cursed nature of this franchise and owner. The Sox have lost so much talent from where the team was in July 2021 that it's a once every 25-30 year cataclysm of bad moves.

How many of the acquisitions are under 25?

So Top Ten in accumulated fWAR for pitchers over a rolling three year period sounds pretty decent.

Not exactly replacing Verdugo…will just have to wait and see. Red Sox not exactly competing, but not exactly throwing in the towel. Tough spot to be in that division.

On the Braves…

They save $8-10 million or so on players sent off to White Sox…
