I don't think it'd be a discount. Slot is like $3.2 million at 22 and I think Hoglund still tops that.

It starts on 6/28

Ramos has a 12% walk rate and 7 homers as a 19-year-old in Kanny with a 124 wRC+. He’s a top 10 prospect in this system most likely

Probably but the same applies to other teams. If he's not on a major league roster next year, he has to be DFA

He's a prospect but he's in a tough spot. He's out of options next year so he'll either be on the White Sox in the majors or no longer in the organization

This is fucking absurd lol

Grandal is tremendous against LHP

Starting Collins tonight doesn't give the Sox the best chance to win. Giolito better shove.

Nah man. Clearly, any dope can write about baseball.

If Lucas Giolito can't throw to Yasmani Grandal, he's not as good as people think he is. This offense sucks right now. It's more important than Giolito's feelings.

They better not fucking start Collins at catcher tonight. LHP on the mound and no DH, Grandal needs to catch. Just play Collins tomorrow

Tim Beckham has served his suspension per a White Sox source. He could be added to the roster whenever.

Abreu is hitting .251/.330/.404 vs RHP with a 105 wRC+. That's not going to get it done.

Lots of teams will be drafting seniors in like rounds 4-10 for sure. There are lots of money savers this year.

I don't think they could make that deal without Crochet

I'm curious to see how teams handle strategy in his draft. The White Sox can go to like $6.9 million if they choose (which they should). They have $6,618,600 for the first 10 rounds. I'm guessing that most teams will try to take money savers in rounds 4-10. The Sox will try to underslot a prep hitter at 22 IMO. Then they'll have $2 million to use at #57 and they could go over $1 million for their third pick as well. They should leave money in the pool so that they can get solid players in rounds 11-20. 11-20 is $125K without counting against the pool. There's no reason to take a college guy in the 7th round and pay him $150K. That entire $150K would count against the bonus pool. If they do it in rounds 11-20, only $25K would count against the pool. It's going to be interesting.

What do you consider something of consequence? They don't have what it takes to get like a Ketel Marte. They don't need that though. I'm not even sure they could get Joey Gallo. They can absolutely get Starling Marte, Eduardo Escobar and either Ian Kennedy or Daniel Hudson though. Those would be impactful moves

They travel to Asheville for 6 games starting on Tuesday

With the White Sox picking at 22, we are writing up somewhere in the neighborhood of 20 players. We've already done a bunch and I will link them below.

Mercedes has two options years remaining. He can be sent down.

Underrated guy. 18th rounder out of Miami in 2018. He can play CF and SS. Good college production and power. He’s got a chance

They've also liked him. Seattle has always wanted a ton in return.

The White Sox are very active in trade talks. I know that Arizona was a team they've talked to. I'm not sure about Pittsburgh. They're going to add. I don't know for sure what the targets are though. I'd target Marte from Miami and try to snag Escobar and Soria from Arizona. Then get closer to the deadline and acquire more relief pitching if necessary.

I don't believe so. I don't think he's gone back to the DR at all which makes this strange. He was in Florida when he signed which is why he's able to be stateside without tax/bonus issues. Chris Getz said he was expected to go to Birmingham once visa issues were taken care of. He's been in Arizona though which doesn't make much sense.

Yes. They're both there.
