Chicago White Sox

Yup…it’s hard to process this one without knowing more. Candidly, I’d prefer he go down to AAA and work through adjustments and not be forced onto the major league roster right now. Just hard to imagine trying to fix someone’s swing or approach in a part time role under the pressures of a playoff run makes a lot of sense.

It’s possible two OFs are moved now.

The over on 2 1/2 will not only be hit but blown out of the water.

That’s totally fair normally, but a super risky way to approach the deadline.

Nothing says we’re really going for it like acquiring projects at the deadline that require financial & prospect investment!

Feels way too cute to me…normally you try to add producing players at the deadline, not a bunch of projects.

Doyle is 28 and a negative fWAR player right now. And we gave up a DSL prospect to boot.

We traded Hill for scraps to then turn around and give up a legit pitching prospect for this guy? What in the f*** are we doing? How does this make us better short term or long term?

Oh I fucking hate this

What in the f***?

Fully agree…would be shocked if he survives the day. The other guy I see as a high possibility of being moved is Mogollon.

These are all good points. I’d nit pick a few things. I don’t think Dominguez is completely valueless, so I’m not sure that you can view this as getting Castillo for just $13.5M next year. I’d say Dominguez is worth at least $5M as a middle reliever, so let’s call it $18.5M. For one year that’s not terrible I guess, but it still requires a rebound and I still struggle why we gave up a prospect to take on that risk at that cost.

You’re thinking Detmers is happening again? 🤔

Yeah, I just mean they effectively need to make a call on Hays today if they want to trade him (or Grichuk). Obviously if there is no market, they can wait until the 6th in case someone gets hurt in the Boston series. I think they look to move one of them today though. Not going to get much, but a lot of teams could use a RH platoon or bench bat.

Exactly this. Catcher is happening. I think we get another two between a potential SP, a Hays or Grichuk trade, and some pruning of the bullpen.

I have the over/under on more trades at 2.5 and I’m hammering that over. Sox ain’t close to being done yet.

Post deadline they can trade someone on the IL? And still get someone back in return?

Hays needs to be decided today if they want to trade him.

What? Zero chance they don’t add a catcher.

Believe it should be 8 hours since the deadline is 5pm CST

I still feel like Carlson and a good second piece gets you Detmers. High end positional prospects are clearly valued a ton as we’re seeing here.

The rest of the package is pretty meh though right?

Yes, bigger roster crunch will be in the offseason when more of the 60 Day IL guys need to come off.

I think sent a small amount to them related to Dominguez’s buyout

Nine hours to go until the deadline. Going to be a fascinating day. I still feel like another three trades could happen today. Glad I got a light day of work…lol.
