Couple thoughts. This obviously idealistic but if that money doesn’t go towards a stadium, it wouldnt get spent on the public good instead. It’s just a real world fact unfortunately. Also, Bears are still going to Arlington Heights. I’d be shocked by any other outcome.

This is crazy. We need to see Gonzalez play this year before making any sort of declaration like this. Smith-Njigba isn’t really a great fit as a LHH OF. Sox have a 40-man crunch already. Again, Sox have a real 40-man crunch.

Nah he’ll be in the 20’s. Could rise but Sox system is solid right now

Juan Berroteran is $35K apparently.

Romero is reporting that Sox have signed Venezuelan outfielder Christian Gonzalez for $550K

He really likes Chris Getz

Definitely the highest ceiling arm in the class for sure

Levine is on 670 right now. It sounds like VERY informed speculation after being at White Sox camp today. He said that talks with Baltimore are expected.

Orioles circled back on Cease the other day apparently. No idea if it’ll be them but I’ve talked to people who still think he moves.

..........................I disagree.

Not sure how they could. Bench is seemingly: Moustakas, Pillar, Stassi and Mendick

He was better than Gavin Sheets last year.

So I’m guessing that college guys go to A ball but what happens with high school guys?

They'll have plenty of money with their extra pick.

I put together a way-too-early 2024 Mock Draft for FutureSox and included four picks for the White Sox. Here you go: https://www.futuresox.net/2024/02/13/2024-mlb-mock-draft-1-0/

Okay the Sox have announced: Eduardo Herrera, Jesus Premoli, Orlando Suarez, Alexandre Valdiviezo and Jhoangel Suarez from Venezuela and Jurdrick Profar and Jeziel Boekhoudt from Curacao. Baseball America has them with Manuel Rumbos and Juan Berroteran from Venezuela as well. I'd heard they have 5-6 DR signings as well.

Shuster will be starting in Charlotte and I doubt Berroa makes the club initially

I don’t see a resolution until March on the Boras guys

Exactly. I don’t think Arias will be available at the deadline

I'd probably do this deal from the Yankees: Dylan Cease for Roderick Arias, Chase Hampton, Brock Selvidge and Jorbit Vivas.

Nightengale says today that Yankees still want Cease but won't include Spencer Jones. I'd think the White Sox could find a package without Jones, personally.

I did after he ranked 5 guys in the top 100

Huh?

This just isn’t true though. I wouldn’t have taken the package for Dylan Cease but it was fine for one year of Burnes.

They’ve only actually announced 4 signings total
