8/1- White Sox at Rangers, 7:05
Sounds like the tagline for a bloodier House of the Dragon season…since ticket holders were already burned/scorched this year.

Go Avi lol….can we have Jake Bulldog Peavy back? Will Miggy let go of his grudge as he retires this season…?

Madrigal .711 Benintendi .709 Nicky Two Strikes would be #4 ops after Robert Jimenez Vaughn lol…he was so inspirational the Cubs brought in Candelario and dumped Mancini. White Sox will probably pick up Trey lol.

And yet he doesn’t appear to have a quick bat, either…he’s hitting fastballs to LF more often that not.

The White Sox offense without Burger is definitely going to be bottom 2-3. Watch Robert and maybe Eloy and that’s it.

Grade Rick Hahn's Trade Deadline Performance
Because the fall in season tickets would escalate from an MLB leading 25% this year down yet another 30-35% in all likelihood...and it might happen anyway. A lot of more casual fans will be unhappy they traded Burger for someone they've never heard of.

Grade Rick Hahn's Trade Deadline Performance
Even if you gave him $600 million to spend, he would blow it all on Ohtani...then end up in the exact same position one year from now.

Grade Rick Hahn's Trade Deadline Performance
They got a better deal for Flaherty. The problem is 2019 is the last year he was really good.

Surely not worse than Moncada's first full season in terms of K rate. And at least he has already proven he can be a Top Ten HR slugger simply by coaching himself up.

Grade Rick Hahn's Trade Deadline Performance
Grandal move looking worse and worse....never give a catcher in their 30s more than 2-3 years.

Grade Rick Hahn's Trade Deadline Performance
Cease will never be worth more and an injury would abolutely destroy the franchise.... Will punch Hahn in the face if he so much much as suggests competing again for the AL Central with Dylan anchoring the rotation in 2024.

Middleton to Yankees for Juan Carela
https://www.baseballamerica.com/players/16765-juan-carela/ Carela 29th ranked Yankees' prospect...from the Dominican. Six years younger than Burger. Was once described as having Micker Adolfo light tower power. Hahn couldn't go for more than an hour without another DH to replace Burger Grandal and likely Sheets.

Baseball is an entertainment business. The White Sox are the exact opposite of entertaining...unless it's in a comedic, fun bad way.

Middleton to Yankees for Juan Carela
They're going to manage to keep Hahn from spending another $40-50 million with all these relief arms added...should have also gotten that Sampson kid the Cubs quietly dealt.

Cordero, Jimmy and Wil?

Gavin Sheets working out at third this afternoon in Arlington....apparently played the position on a travel ball squad in Grade 9.

Morosi had him after Robert on the list of players the White Sox should keep...assuming he knew Benintendi was stuck with the Sox and vice versa.

Sox acquire Luis Patino from Rays for cash
"Patino showed flashes of brilliance during the 2021 season, but his 2022 campaign was derailed by oblique and shoulder injuries so it's unclear how much he would be capable of contributing." https://www.tampabay.com/sports/rays/2023/03/07/rays-luis-patino-tyler-glasnow-shawn-armstrong-curtis-mead-phillies/ Rays’ Luis Patino wants to show everyone who he really is Notes | The right-hander is healthy, throwing hard and determined to bounce back in what he admits is “a big year.” Breaking News: Miguel Cleto named new pitching coach?

His last name is Sisco or Poreda?

Go Padres' farm system! Rick Hahn will redeem your rep in the end. Also, surprised no Francisco Mejia to corner the catching market after not developing one in decades. (No, Zach Collins doesn't count!)
-
Burger To Marlins
The White Sox have sort of developed Sale (not really), Rodon and Chris Bassitt in a decade. That's it. And they will probably be implementing a new pitching lab (finally) with Katz (likely) leaving...so not much trust there in Hahn and Getz. Go back earlier you can add McCarthy and Hudson....so five successes in almost two decades.

Burger To Marlins
Can add Marlins to Padres Reds Royals Dodgers/Puig now lol. Only another decade or two (Hahn must be 52ish) and I will have been forced to follow 28 other teams (not the Scrubs like Ron) out of sheer boredom since the White Sox and AL Central are basically irrelevant.
