Rymer Liriano has been added to the 40-man. He thanks Leury Garcia.

Shaping up to be a 3-horse race. Hopefully the Indians will be playing for homefield advantage the last weekend.

30 days left Team (Games left) - Sox Magic Number to have higher pick: 1. Phillies(28) - 31 2. Giants(25) - 28 3. White Sox(29) 4. Reds(27) - 24 5. A's(28) - 24

3-0, Giants. Move up to 2 tonight hopefully.

QUOTE (SoxAce @ Sep 1, 2017 -> 09:15 PM) They did. Official. All we need is a Giants loss and this will be a great night (assuming the sox do in fact lose). You mean Giants win. Crawford 2-run homer.

I forgot Holmberg was outrighted, so he was added to the 40-man, and the Sox are at 38. Pretty sure Cordell is on the 40-man. Actually, 37. Forgot about Gonzalez gone.

Fred Holberg

QUOTE (TheTruth05 @ Sep 1, 2017 -> 11:28 AM) They brought Fulmer back up, I wonder if they'll let him be the 6th starter or start conditioning him for bullpen work. I think they'll stick with Lopez, Rodon, Giolito, Shields, Holland They'll have plenty of opportunities for quick hooks and put in Fulmer, Holmberg, Danish, Pelfrey, Covey. Garbage time has begun.

A lot of names mentioned not on the 40-man. I think the Sox are at 37, but could 60-day Nate Jones.

It doesn't suck the Sox hold the tiebreaker with the Giants. Simply put, if the Sox go 4-6 three times in a row, they'll have a really high pick next June.

Thursday: Phillies won, Giants lost, Sox lost, Reds won 31 days left Team (Games left) - Sox Magic Number to have higher pick: 1. Phillies(29) - 33 2. Giants(26) - 29 3. White Sox(30) 4. Reds(28) - 26 5. A's(29) - 25 If the Sox somehow go 14-16, the Reds would have to go 9-19 to have a better pick. The Sox are getting the 2nd or 3rd pick. Big series next weekend.

Giants down 2-1 after 5. Bumgarner was scratched with the flu. A SF win would cap a nice day.

Nice to wake up to this. Back to sleep...

18 pitchers on the 40-man. Except Jones, they'll probably all be in Chicago by next Tuesday. Not a fan of roster expansion. At the very least, there should be a daily limit on the active roster.

Reds win, Sox lose Sox move up to 2 with a Giants win

QUOTE (elrockinMT @ Aug 31, 2017 -> 01:01 PM) Agreed. Is the deadline this afternoon or later? 11pm central

QUOTE (KyYlE23 @ Aug 31, 2017 -> 11:45 AM) Sox need that roster expansion today Should I lose my mind on September roster expansion now or just wait until tomorrow? September baseball is a joke.

QUOTE (ptatc @ Aug 31, 2017 -> 11:12 AM) I know I've said this before and people can fire away again. If they have an awful season next year with that plan, the rebuild has failed and they will need to start again. If the rotation is Rodon, Lopez, Giolito and Kopech, all players they are counting on for the rebuild, they better not lose 90 games. They will struggle but they can't ALL struggle that badly. You're right, I do disagree. The Sox won't be a .500 team in 2018, but it will be a step forward. 76-86 would be a great season for a young team and mostly young rotation. If they happen to lose 90, it's not that much different. Kinda just depends on health and bullpen variance...and Renteria bunting.

Mid-game Hugwatch. Spicy.

I know there will be a fair share of paranoia about guys getting rushed, but next spring training and the season have the potential to be a lot of fun from beginning to end even if they're a 90 loss team again.

Wednesday: Phillies lost twice, Giants lost, Sox lost, Reds lost, A's lost 32 days left Team (Games left) - Sox Magic Number to have higher pick: 1. Phillies(30) - 35 2. Giants(27) - 30 3. White Sox(31) 4. Reds(29) - 28 5. A's(29) - 26

If you were concerned about the Sox falling out of the top 4 at some point, today was your day.

Sox have plenty of non-tender candidates if they want.

Chris Beck...why?
