Sox probably asking for Arroyo + Collier in return.

Oooof.

I wonder if these bonuses are agreed to so early that as the player continues to age and mature, their price does too. They may have had those numbers agreed upon for a year now. 🤷🏼‍♂️

Dude was yoked

Fun, or sad, fact. The White Sox have had the #1 international prospect in a signing class join the organization, MULTIPLE TIMES. MLB Pipeline rankings go back to 2012... 2013: Eloy Jimenez (Adolfo #2, Gleyber #3, Devers #6) 2016: Luis Robert 2019: Yoelqui Cespedes (Jasson Dominguez #2, Norge Vera #5) 2020/2021: Yoelqui Cespedes In 2022 we didn't have the #1 guy, but we have the #4 guy (William Bergola) and the #5 Oscar Colas.

Yea, I'm sleep deprived from our sick newborn and totally misunderstood the tweet that I saw. Carry on.

EDIT: Nevermind, I read this half-asleep and thought the tweet said he is committing to his commitment, not that he was just simply choosing a school like every other HS kid. Carry on.

Lol not sourced, sorry

I have no interest in Casas. Abreu would be fine, because at least he's got an extra year of control, but I would still rather get a stronger package of prospects.

I'm just going off the Morosi report saying the Red Sox have softened on the idea of trading Mayer in Crochet talks now.

Mayer + Montgomery + 3rd piece?

Interesting wink from noted well connected Mariners fan....

Surprised to see Grant Taylor so low because some publication (I thought it was BA, but maybe BP?) said Taylor would likely be a top 100 on the next update. That makes he think he should be top 5 on the Sox from that pub.

Ok, so he didn't get that one wrong yet. And if he does, at least he didn't say some bullshit "I'm hearing the Dodgers and Teo are close" at least he put his whole chest behind that scoop, so if he's wrong, he's 100% wrong.

Where did Teo sign?

No idea how much he's gotten wrong, but according to his timeline he's gotten a few right. Then again, everything he has scooped has been Dodgers related. 3 signings and a trade. All dodgers. We'll see. https://x.com/1MLBinsider/status/1861847923895501195?t=7220NhRfzfU3_xE5ZHAZag&s=19

Alex Bohm has negative value to this team. It would make no sense. I would rather have another couple top 10 prospects instead.

Lol I understand Vargas isn't as exciting as he was 12 months ago, but he was not a DFA candidate, let's be serious here. Colson Montgomery is hitting a wall right now and sliding down top 100 boards too, but you probably aren't ready to say he's worthless now too. I definitely wanted more of a sure thing to heading a Fedde deal, and I'm far from excited about this return, but there is a real chance Vargas ends up being a league average player for us for a few years.

I would love to get Schwellenbach back in a trade.

Yup. Just a "division tax".

Orioles going with half-measures again.

I would take that 1st package all day. ??‍♂️

Wow I feel like no one had that one. Everyone has us taking a hitter. Shocker and unsure how to feel.

I think the Sox will get Wetherholt. Personally I would love for it to be Cags, but I honestly think I would be happy with anyone at #5 that we've heard, outside of Kurtz.

I joined SoxTalk on December 30th, 2007 at age 17 under the name JoeCoolMan24. Then 4 days later the Sox traded for Nick Swisher. I may have cursed us all.
