The international signing period opens on Monday. I wrote a preview for FutureSox here: https://www.futuresox.net/2024/01/11/2024-white-sox-international-signing/
The Dodgers really needed to clear 40-man space and have nowhere for Michael Busch to play. I'm not even sure the White Sox could make this trade. They don't have a Jackson Ferris right now.
Nightengale predicts that Cease won’t be moved because asking price hasn’t been met. Said Sox are asking for two premium prospects and two more prospects. Price seems realistic to me. I still think he moves.
Do we want Mayo? I wouldn’t be thrilled with that outcome, personally. I think he’s going to mash but he’s a RHH 1B. I’m just not that interested in another righty corner player.
It sounds like the Yankees are in pretty aggressively from some people I’ve talked to today. No idea on Boston. I wouldn’t be surprised if it ended up being New York. Brian Cashman has the balls to actually make a deal which could help.
Which position player should go instead of Perez? Probably Remillard but he’s likely next. Hackenberg likely ahead of Perez on depth chart too. He might clear waivers
