2024 - MLB Draft Thread
Sox appear to be in a great spot at 5. Konnor Griffin is the top prep guy, Bazzana, Wetherholt and Honeycutt all look great so far and the college pitching class could be elite at the top. Really good options.

Sox looking at building in South Loop
It’s nowhere near big enough for what the Bears want to do

I don’t agree. It’s not that easy to navigate right now. As far as clubs having the same valuations, yes. The QO is brutal though. Guys like Bellinger and Snell should’ve considered taking the QO if they wanted 7-10 year deals. Now that they have the QO attached, it makes a 1-2 year deal far less likely. I mean come on. Nobody thought those guys would be unsigned as camp opened.

Many plugged in people really close to the team think this is happening.

Would you do everything the same as your boss if you were promoted? I’ve got nothing. I’d heard that Baltimore circled back when Bradish got hurt. Not sure on likelihood. Some still think Cease moves. I personally think deadline is more likely now. Sox really expected Snell and Montgomery to be signed by now

It’ll still happen. People are being so dramatic about this.

Why would you think otherwise right now though? Fletcher will be in RF against RHP and Pillar will be on the team. Why would Sheets play over those guys? Also, would you ever play him over Eloy Jimenez or Andrew Vaughn against RHP? I just don't see a spot for him.

You think this matters much more than I do. I think spring training is mostly meaningless as a predictor of any future success. I don't really see the difference in getting playing time in big league camp over minor league camp. I'd DFA Sheets because I don't think he's any good but i'd be really surprised if he plays the outfield under this GM.

The prospects won’t be in big league camp very long

Do you think Njigba is better than Fletcher? If he’s not, when would he actually play? Is he better than Zach DeLoach? They have an infield crunch for sure. I don’t think Shewmake is good but I doubt the Sox want to lose Sosa or Rodriguez for nothing at this point.

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.

Cease To Padres per Passan
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.
-
Cease To Padres per Passan
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.

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