I disagree that it was rushed. I had no interest in taking Dylan Cease into the season and risking regression or injury. They had a couple offers from Texas and San Diego and those were by far the best offers they'd had to that point from what I understand. They could've held Cease and gotten more at the deadline potentially but I think it was enough to make the trade when they did.

The system is really good. I know, shocker haha.

Did I? I believe I said that about the Vargas deal. I was fine with the Dylan Cease trade at the time. They need a lot more out of Jairo Iriarte though.

I think there's a decent chance that Berroa is better than Santos this year

I understand not liking Drew Thorpe but posters calling the Cease trade a failure due to the 4th piece not working out is hilarious. We won’t have answers on that Cease return for years.

I’m guessing they think Steven Wilson clears waivers. It’s pretty puzzling otherwise.

Wilson probably clears I'd imagine. I'm generally good with the roster churn but it's a lot of lefties in the bullpen.

It's really cheap because you can sit wherever you want. I just don't have interest in that many weekday games that early in the season.

Tucker is gonna get $400 million plus.

The White Sox system is ranked #12 by Keith Law, #2 by ESPN and #4 by Baseball America so far. MLB Pipeline hasn't released yet.

I think there were some wins too though. Noah Schultz has elevated significantly to what he’s become. Peyton Pallette, Jonathan Cannon, Davis Martin and Aldrin Batista are big positives. They need to see some gains on position player side but Ryan Fuller was hired for a reason.

I’m not a fan of Justin Crawford I’m not opposed to the White Sox eating $$ but they need a much better headliner than Edwin Arroyo to do so.

This isn’t necessary. Sincerely, f*** off. I understand wanting more than Luke Keashall if eating $$ was necessary. They still ultimately made a very underwhelming trade though.

The Twins wanted the White Sox to eat $$ on Fedde. They were never a real option imo.

I don’t think Keaschall was ever a realistic option personally.

Which Merkin article?

I do think the Sox would prefer to trade Robert prior to opening day. Jim Bowden said today that Phillies were also involved and Sox have been asking for two top 5 system prospects minimum in return.

Well, once they trade Luis Robert and Andrew Benintendi, they have only pre-arb and arb salaries for 2026.

Yeah I get it. I'd wait. Maybe someone gets hurt in spring training.

This would prompt me to wait and trade him at the deadline.

Kiley has: 139: Jacob Gonzalez 171: Bryan Ramos 192: Jairo Iriarte 198: Grant Taylor 199: Chase Meidroth

White Sox system will be top 5 everywhere else.

I don't think the White Sox should be eating any $$. He makes $15 million this year. It's perfectly reasonable.

Roki Sasaki is an international amateur so he counts. It wasn't this way last year for Yamamoto for example.

Baseball America and MLB Pipeline use different standards. I don't agree with BA's process. It makes no sense.
