I don’t believe Yesavage is in the mix. It’d be Griffin, Rainer, Wetherholt or pitching for me.

It would be much more than this. I don’t think it happens because there are only a handful of teams capable of making the trade and I’m not sure those teams do it for 3.5 years of control.

Definitely an emphasis on it.

Seems doubtful. Padres can’t swing it without Salas or Merrill.

I think there are only like 5 teams who can make this trade.

DSL Sox lost 6-5. Christian Gonzalez went 4/5, Jesus Premoli 3/5 with a 2B and 2 RBI. Herrera and Profar each had hits and Orlando Suarez had 2K in 1 scoreless inning.

DSL got rained out today but here’s the preview I wrote for FutureSox: https://www.futuresox.net/2024/06/02/2024-white-sox-affiliate-preview-dsl/

Again, they aren’t telling their athletes not to gamble. Read the policy.

Don’t bet on baseball and don’t bet on other sports illegally. It’s not that difficult.

K rate is 39% with a 12% walk rate. Slashing .333/.433/.561.

Gonzalez was underslot last year. It helped to pay for Wolkow and Oppor

I don’t think he’s a prospect but he’s the type of guy that minor league systems need.

I’d probably have him 7 on my personal list. He’ll be top 10 for sure

I think 4 inning starts in Kanny is fine. The innings are much more important than the level.

There’s not a rotation spot in High A. Keener, Gordon and Batista should all be there too

Sean Burke looks good tonight and Grant Taylor’s stuff is insane.

This always sounds good in theory but the job is to get the most talent possible within the parameters of the total bonus pool. It’s not always as easy as taking the best guy.

It’s not crazy but Thorpe belongs in here too

I think Schultz absolutely pitches in Chicago in 2025.

I’m sure it’s a possibility but they really need bats. Obviously can’t ever have enough pitching but with the restructure of the minors, Sox just don’t have innings for many more pitchers.

The White Sox think Wetherholt is a second baseman. I’d be shocked by that pick.

Erick Fedde and Padres trade return looks pretty good. I think Seattle trade will look good after the draft as well.

Great work from Ben Badler on White Sox international class: https://www.baseballamerica.com/stories/chicago-white-sox-2024-international-review/

They won’t be making the $6.5-$7 million they’d get at 5 overall, that’s for sure

I’m sure there are some college guys who they won’t pass on. I’m just not sure who that is. McDaniel had them taking Smith today and also noted that they’d likely take any of Condon, Bazzana, Cags or Burns as well.
