The White Sox are expected to make a selection. Pitching would be my guess

This would be a haul. Rhett Lowder, Chase Petty, Carlos Jorge and Sammy Stafura was the asking the price. Hello!

They fell to 6th but they’re still eligible next year

The Sox might not even pick 10th. If Oakland is worse than them, they’ll pick 11th haha

I just don't love that the best players in the class play 1B and 2B. The college pitchers have lots of reliever risk.

I disagree with both of these. Top 3 would be fine with the huge bonus pool. 7,8,9 is better than 4-6 though.

Couldn’t agree more

Fedde was awesome in the KBO last year. He added a sweeper and threw 180 innings.

Well the owner left him employed for a really long time. Starts at the top. I don’t know anything. They’ll move Cease and Eloy eventually. Make a rule 5 pick and sign some cheap free agents. Gonna be a rough year

Well they can. The owner just doesn’t want to.

He turned down $440 million.

I’d need Grissom, Smith-Shawver, Waldrep and another piece

Seems like Cease and Eloy are both gone. Juts not sure when. I don't love the idea of Atlanta either but Anthopolous is aggressive. They'll take the best package they get offered. Atlanta is publicly seen as the favorite right now.

Nightengale called the Braves the favorites for Cease in that same article

I think they traded most of the remainder to the Dodgers. I'd have to look.

Juan Soto is a Boras guy. He's not extending with anyone

Soto isn't signing an extension anywhere. You're basically trading for one year of Soto plus the draft compensation you'll get when he leaves as a free agent.

I'm under the impression that the White Sox front office is split on Rodriguez. I've heard that they aren't the frontrunners. He likely signs with a team that is convinced he can start.

Here's our Rule 5 Preview: https://www.futuresox.net/2023/12/01/2023-chicago-white-sox-rule-5-draft-preview/

I expect Lee to get the bulk of the time. Need to find out what he is.

Yeah I definitely understand this sentiment but the guys the White Sox would get are absolutely blocked in Baltimore.

Which probably makes sense unless they get what they want from Baltimore, Arizona, Cincy etc. Something to note: JP Morosi has an obvious connection to Chris Getz from their Michigan backgrounds. He's broken some Getz news in past etc. Sox wanted that report out there yesterday for whatever reason.

There is but with Cowser’s bat, it plays more in CF than in a corner. I’d prefer the power profile That’s interesting. Cowser had 77 PA in majors though. Totally meaningless sample This is true. I just think they need Kjerstad’s profile more

Why would his stock be down? I think I’d prefer Kjerstad anyway. Cowser’s value comes as a CF imo and he won’t be playing it in Chicago

I don’t think they’re getting Cowser. If they keep insisting on that, it’ll probably be a different team.
