Optioned means they’re on the 40-man. But they’re all going to the minor league camp.

Funny. Love it.

Yes, it’s unusual that there’s only about 17 days until they know who’s going north, and there’s still around 70 players in big league camp. 5 of the next 6 games are away from Glendale, so maybe they’ll just wait until next week to clear a ton of players out.

If they gave it their all with the current roster, maybe high 60s. With more trades coming in July or earlier, I’ll go 58-104.

RIP Stacy Wakefield, pancreatic cancer Two kids, over 18 but under 21 This wasn’t a surprise, but still really awful.

At the very least, they need establish a reliable offseason schedule that ends with players that are supposed to be reporting to camps in mid-February to be signed by February 1. Maybe just shut down the game after the World Series for 5-6 weeks, with exception of announcing awards. Have the GM meetings when the Winter Meeting usually happen. And then have the Winter Meetings in early to mid-January. After that, if you’re a free agent, get signed by 2/1. Obviously there can be other rules for older guys that are non-roster invites, but the cream of the crop free agents should be in camp on Day 1.

He was on the Sox last year. DFAd in the offseason, outrighted, and was invited to spring training.

The White Sox apologize for all of the spit take damage to your devices.

Good luck with the Red Sox

70 in camp

Cool. Chavez is a good dude.

Too bad his middle initial isn’t T.

Fletcher is wearing #7

I’d think he’d get a non-roster invite offer from some teams that need a second baseman, similar to a Kevin Pillar type contract. Make the team, get 3 mil. Then it’s up to him to play his way into the lineup everyday.

A week before spring training and no announcement of NRIs. What’s this world coming to? lol. Here’s what I can piece together from the transaction page. Obviously Nastrini and some other guys will be there, but here are some names that may be there: Pitchers- Juan Then, Joe Barlow, Chad Kuhl, Edgar Navarro, Nick Padilla, Justin Anderson, Jake Woodford Catchers- Carlos Perez, Chuckie Robinson Infield- Zach Remillard Outfield- Kevin Pillar, Brett Phillips, Wynton Bernard, Mark Payton, Rafael Ortega

I think Getz is playing this ok. Still think Cease is gone before games start (2/23), but he may actually have to show up to Glendale for a short time.

Getz on the Score at 9:30

Mauer’s case was a pretty easy Yes. His damage was as a catcher. Three batting titles with an MVP. Over 2000 hits. A franchise player, Being a good guy doesn’t hurt him either. It’s an honor he deserves. Next year Wagner, Ichiro, and Sabathia are getting in.

Beltre 95.1, Helton 79.7, Mauer 76.1 Wagner 5 short in year 9 Sheffield off ballot 63.9 Buehrle stays on at 8.3

Mark Teahen as Teahan. His play was more annoying though.

I’ll go with Matt Foster getting DFAd unless another move is made.

Looks like he was hurt most of 23, and had a bad September return. Maybe a Bannister recruit?

Tuesday announcement. Looking like Beltre, Helton, and Mauer …maybe Wagner …maybe Sheffield, but probably not.

Every time I see this thread bumped, I think of Michael Scott finding out Toby is back.

Ok, I’ve deleted him from my brain over the last four years. No then.
