Can someone smarter than me and with more time research Whitesox record in games below , let’s say 50 degrees in addition to certain players ( Moncada offensive number in said cold; what these number actually look like?

I believe others have said it but essentially we are all experts cause we all have figured 10/300 for Machado and 13 /330 Harper, it was all speculated yet it took this long and Whitesox still failed

It would fit timelines of when our prospects are ready to contribute

Kopech is someone I would consider but that is me being biased since he completely ignored me and my three year old asking for autograph while playing on Barons against Jumbo Shrimp here in Jacksonville; Kopech just seems like Hollywood AHole

I actually liked Swisher acquisition but Guillen managed him terribly

How much would Whitesox have to add for Abreu : Bellinger swap if we took on salary like Ryu, probably to much I imagine since I believe I read they wouldn’t trade him for Realmuto but just for fun speculation

Right zero sense I agree let delmonico and Palka play but this is the Whitesox we are talking and making sense isn’t common knowledge

If Dodgers land Harper, I will see you guys and gals in the Pederson to Whitesox discussion next only to see Pederson go to Indians smh. I blame Frank Thomas, Robin Ventura and Wilson Alvarez in the 90’s for drawing me into this team fandom.

Just like Lozano did to Whitesox more or less, with that said perhaps Whitesox have learned and came out and said they won’t get into bidding war for Harper but are interested

How often with these big contracts are the teams always known, granted small sample size of mega stars free agents to compare but it seems almost as if , when we hear something the deal may have passed and I feel less confident. With the whole Machado pursuit just seemed like we knew to many details and to good to be true Whitesox were favorites but nonetheless i am sure it is false hope with Harper also and like always with these free agency pursuits Whitesox won’t land him, seem to be reason why the rebuild took place to begin with.

This is where I am at also, only thing that would make since is if Whitesox were told no or he wants to play west coast; At then the east coast losing two stars to west coast like Harper and Machado is sad

If we are the favorites why not ? Yes I realize I don’t even believe that we are but apparently Padres were involved with Machado for a month yet over heard things over last 4-5 days; to me Whitesox could really use a superstar to take pressure off young talent

While the hope has narrowed that Harper comes to Whitesox, I do find it interesting that none of our resident insiders in this site have added any sort of crumb or bit of information at all good or bad, either Whitesox have nothing going on at all ( likely ) or indeed have been told to stay off social media; it’s probably nothing but could be something

I appreciate the posts you take time to share, as well as others that share inside tidbits and details. I have been reading this site for awhile and very often I scan through pages to search your replies/ posts as well as the handful of soxtalk legends ( my opinion ). Like others have said the majority of us appreciate information and a small percentage will always seem to challenge anything but that is just about any aspect in life today, in fact a few co workers at my job have debated on why water fountains outside of restrooms automatically only give cold/ room temperature water why is there not a warm / hot option. This is actually is not true and never took place but maybe it can be something we debate until the next insider posts any good news

By chance is Laz Rivera middle name Diaz ? In all seriousness I just had a lapse in memory it is a side effect for having kids after age 30

Well if you say Laz Rivera fast enough three times you get Diaz ...... right ? Yes my fault I meant Rivera

Based on the rumored deal of Bummer, Fulmer and Rivera for Pederson; also with idea something holding it up and possibly Realmuto being culprit how likely is it Whitesox are trying to facilitate the three team trade and have interest is someone also from the Marlins? Although I have made quite a few fantasy baseball trades in my lifetime, I am no expert in real trade scenarios. So thoughts on Collins for Brinson? Is value there , granted lower value Brinson coming off his poor season; Could whitesox essentially get Brinson and Pederson to round out the Outfield with Eloy and Jay as Fourth OF all while giving up Bummer, Fulmer, Rivera, Collins, Delmonico ( to Dodgers if Verdugo goes to Marlins) just a thought and entertaining escape from the real world cold in the Midwest, I am in Florida sorry but I did have to wear a light jacket to work this morning, sorry that’s not fair I apologize! Have a good day everyone I am going back to lurking for next ten years

Player that might shock people( my guess) ,Carlos Beltran? Mets were playing better without him and hes got a pretty high salary?

Would anyone be interested in Nate Mclouth, hes recovering from a concussion right now but has the speed on defense and decent power from left side. Might be a cheaper option then some of the other big names mentioned, I havent heard anything just wondering if he is a name that might come up as under the radar.

Just seen Ozzie quote saying he is still having a hard time cutting while running, so nevermind probably would be a nightmare on the, even if he did just DH.

I only think that the sox should do this because we face three left handed starters in a row for the next three games. This will allow Ozzie to play him at DH in at least two of those games and maybe the field in one. Then he can play a game or two this weekend in the field and rest over the all-star break. The more games we can get out of him before the trade deadline the better. This will allow KW to see him in live game action and decide what to do, come July 31st. Ofcourse this is also assuming the sox were going to activate him after the all-star break anyways, why not now, especially since they say he has been taking swings while being out? Just wondering your thoughts, if I get bashed too much, it will be another year before I post again, j/k

I seen the 20 milllion still left on his contract from another site. Curious on how the contract is broke down if anybody has that info that would be great. If the contract is for four years and 5 million a year then maybe Boston picks up half that wouldnt be too bad of a contract. I would consider him an upgrade to uribe next year and more depth than we have now.

I think he played third base in Tampa, and can bat leadoff. If and when Crede comes back he could still be speed off the bench. He is currently on DL but expected to come off soon. With his contract he should clear waivers. If Boston takes some of the salary, would he be a good fit to help us get to the playoffs?
