I don't know. Angels never trade guys and dudes like this with 2.5 years of control don't often move due to asking price. I've heard they asked the Cubs for Hartshorn and Ben Brown. Bonemer or Braden Montgomery plus

Detmers is pretty damn good.

If this was the price for Detmers, I think he'd be here already.

The Fegan piece is great. Schultz has to be close to the innings limit, regardless. They've made lots of changes with him that seem unnecessary. There have been many pitching development issues this year. I don't know who is to blame necessary but none of Schultz, Smith, Taylor, McDougal or Oppor is currently starting every 5th day in the majors on a big league workload and I personally think that's an issue. Schultz likely goes to bullpen role after the deadline I'd think. You seem pretty confrontational for no reason though.

I'd be very surprised. Asking price sounds astronomical. Fake account Fake account.

I'm sorry but you literally have no idea what you're talking about. The White Sox had $21.5 million to spend. How they spend that money doesn't really matter. This is the draft class in order; essentially. Roch Cholowsky $10.35 million Cole Prosek $3.2 million (equivalent to #30 overall) Landon Thome $2.5 million (equivalent to #41 overall) Alex Weingartner $1.4 million (equivalent to #64 overall) Joey Volchko $1.2 million (equivalent to #70 overall) Kyle Casteel $1.25 million (equivalent to #69 overall) Eric Segura $750K Cal Scolari $550K Clay Burdette $290K Braden Holcomb $160K The Sox did a masterful job of maximizing their pool space. Best player in the class, multiple swings at prep talent, college pitching and power profiles that they feel good about later. No reaches on college bats in early round etc. Your preferred strategy isn't really a thing. You need to sign all the players in the top 10 or you lose that pick and money. You have to philosophically shift the way you look at draft spending and draft classes. You either don't want to or just choose to remain ignorant because you say the same nonsense every year.

I doubt it's much more than that after 73 last year and 88 the year prior. Maybe 110?

It's a great question. They've totally changed who Schultz is. He's throwing 6 pitches with a higher slot and he's got too many voices. I believe a simplification is coming.

There's a lot going on with Schultz. Lots of changes being worked on etc. I think the org has failed him but regardless, a role shift is likely coming due to innings.

I disagree. I expect a lot of activity in November; similarly to the last lockout.

Can they do that? I think there's a limit and deadline won't solve the problem.

December 1st

They don't have room for both guys so curious to see what they do.

Sure they can. It's minor league baseball.

He'll be on midseason list

As advertised. He's an awesome defender at shortstop.

Maybe it would be another weird Padres/Preller trade. He loved Noah Schultz out of HS. I also don't see them totally selling. He'd try to get win now type guys in the deal. What if it were like Schultz, Shane Smith plus other stuff potentially? I'm also totally speculating and not a big fan of trading for relievers.

The 2026 Draft is in the book. I wrote 5,000 words on the White Sox class. It would've been shorter if I had more time. Hope everyone enjoys. FutureSoxWhite Sox Utilize Record Bonus Pool and Organizational St...The Chicago White Sox 2026 draft class has earned stellar reviews from publications and while melancholy never sets in immediately; club officials are elated

Correct. 5 in addition to the largest bonus ever. It's 6 total.

Then these guys wouldn't be drafted and they'd be going to Indy ball most likely.

Same names in amateur scouting department but way more focus on development. Directors of pitching, hitting, sports science and analytics. Everything is linked. The scouts which profiles each department likes and feels comfortable developing etc. It's just totally different. It's a real org finally. Correct

I don't see any way that the MLBPA actually agrees to no high school draft picks. I think it's kind of a nonstory. No way that happens.

2027 draft is safe. It's the same rules as previous ones. 2028 is the first one that could be changed.

I don't think they did this. They did it to get the extra $3 million. I basically just think they wouldn't have Prosek if they didn't make the trade and he was the best pick after Cholowsky.
