Don't forget the WS2023 PCA love fest.

Has Taylor gone more than 1 2/3? Once or twice? Need J.Zumaya from back in the day.

Did you watch all those games from 2023-25?

Better than Shingles/Gout.

Nice catch at least.

Two days in a row of Holmeses.

They're not going to have much of a bullpen left...going to need to get innings from Hagen McDougal Brazoban Richards etc.

You're assuming Burke's fall off in stuff wasn't a sign of things to come? Almost feels more like 2000 team down the stretch, minus the bigger names in the rotation.

Not mine!

First reliever in tonight??? Have to think strategically about the lack of off days coming up. That's charitably counting Kay...but better than 2021 Keuchel at least?

Normal Sox fear multiplied by 5X for Cubs...

"Tip Toe" tv show screenshot?

Suzuki is a FA at least. Happ, too?

Imagine NYM with Lindor Soto PCA Alonso...yikes.

Going to be a long night...

Now Todd Boehly and Mark Walter have held talks about selling their shares in Chelsea FC to Clearlake Capital. Smoke, meet fire. Would be 25.6% more combined for CC. Clearlake already owns 61.5%. Leaving just the remaining 12.8% with Hansjorg Wyss.

It is a ton of fun but you have to watch your diet because there’s pretty much very little healthy to eat at typical minor league concessions stands. Short season and A teams were always smaller communities, só you really got to know the players/coaching staffs and after a little time passed the faithful season ticket holders started to feel almost like family members. But scouting isn’t a lot of fun without tons of passion for it, low pay, low visibility and an endless stream of similar lower budget hotel rooms, although even there’s a community of sorts.

Teams almost always leave SS’s there as long as possible to retain their value internally as well as for trade. Same reason Antonacci was at second, and Meidroth played more SS along with second coming up in the minors. Or Braden in CF when every scout projected him as a RFer. Bonemer só far has played 3B as well, but not 2B or LF. Primarily SS.

15. Chicago White Sox reranked after draft, mlbpipeline 2026 preseason rank: 16 2025 midseason rank: 17 2025 preseason rank: 6 2024 midseason rank: 11 Top 100 prospects: Roch Cholowsky, SS (No. 11); Caleb Bonemer, 3B/SS (No. 30); Billy Carlson, SS (No. 62) The White Sox have gone from an MLB-record 121 losses in 2024 to pulling away in the American League Central just two years later, thanks in large part to a system that has sent six Top 100 prospects (led by Colson Montgomery and Braden Montgomery) and several other key contributors (Sean Burke, Sam Antonacci, Grant Taylor) to Chicago. Next in line is Bonemer, who's tearing up Double-A pitching at age 20. The Sox replenished their system with a record $22,670,200 in bonus payments in the 2026 Draft, reeling in No. 1 overall pick Cholowsky, two of the best high school bats available in infielders Cole Prosek and Landon Thome and some much-needed pitching highlighted by Joey Volchko.

Imanaga Gausman Holmes

Chisholm would be for CF. Star power, 30/30 skills like Robert but very disappointing this year. https://sports.yahoo.com/articles/dodgers-expected-pursue-star-japanese-230003927.html Itoh is one of the pitchers mentioned frequently, but nobody even at the level of Imai, who has struggled mightily with the astros this season. More likely to get a reliever this cycle. https://www.justbaseball.com/international-baseball/npb-top-15-starting-pitcher-rankings-2026/ https://www.espn.co.uk/mlb/story/_/id/48185225/mlb-2026-wbc-world-baseball-classic-japan-future-stars

Hudson/Taylor stay as your co-closers? Still not 100% settled if Sato is coming over from NPB, because he would be in limbo if not signed right off the bat in the period following the World Series, but before the strike/lookout. Will signing early or waiting for new financial landscape advantage or disadvantage him? Unclear.

Buy low on Jazz Chisholm or make a bet on fixing Peralta? We can and probably should scratch Skubal off the wish list. MLB Trade Rumors2026-27 MLB Free Agent Power Rankings: June UpdateThe 2026 season is approaching the halfway point. Which impending free agents are trending up? Find out in the latest MLBTR rankings!Sonny Gray will finish Top 3 in the AL Cy race...at current pace. At his age, he and Michael King are now clearly the 1A options to Skubal. And going after an established closer like Chapman does make MORE sense now.

Good vibes lol. "Take Greene out of the lineup, subtract Skubal and Mize, and, yes, the White Sox are a better team. Today would have been Skubal on the mound. Handcuffing the 2026 team was a choice, one they may still overcome but I'm still kind of sore about the trades."
