Chicago White Sox

Southisene is the Cubs’ 10th ranked prospect per BA and Bateman is currently unranked (although 21st at Pipeline). The former is a former overslot prep pick in the 4th round ($1M bonus) who is likely limited to 2B and has literally zero power. Sounds like he has really good speed and is a patient hitter, but the upside looks incredibly limited to me. Seems like a pretty meh return. I think Boston Smith is a better prospect than both these guys.

The return is apparent Brett Bateman & Ty Southisene.

Demters is going to fall into our laps.

It was years old and included Luis Castillo as well. Someone was using to joke “Kenny always get his man” in regard to Luis I think.

I really hate the Sox using Adams in relief.

s%*# has got quiet AF…I expect one more major trade at some point tonight.

Sweet! I get Burke now!

If he’s too big of a loser to waive his no trade clause and join a winner, then we shouldn’t want him. No need to “make things worth his while” for a rental on a losing team.

Good call…that’s another one I could see.

Oh definitely could be since that’s what they did last time through the rotation

Trades I could see Adams going in as part of a package: To Toronto for Gausman & Hoffman To the Mets for Holmes & Torrens To the Angels for Detmers

Oh s%*#…responded in the other thread that I figured they were piggybacking him, but maybe it’s more than that.

Ugh…don’t know what they are piggybacking Adams with Urquidy and using him for less innings.

Sounds like they like Soriano better

I remember for years I could name every SP at every affiliate and the first thing I would do when checking the box scores was look at the pitching. Now half the time I forgot to look at the pitching at all or have no idea who the guys are.

Peralta price looks very reasonable. As posted in the other thread, I think Boston Smith is a better prospect than anyone the Mets got in return.

lol…feels that way!

Aiden Smith has some tools, but has been awful this year. I’d confidently say Boston Smith is a better prospect than all three of these guys.

I love how short leaks out nowadays. Like why tell Sherman there are three pieces coming back and not list the names?

Need to see the cost

Need to make them pay for thst

I’ll take it!

This feels about right to me.

Yes, only the bonus amounts to players are capped. They can still outspend the competition on all the foundational stuff.

No idea what you’re arguing here. The definition of “savior” is someone who saves from danger or destruction. Jerry has destroyed the immense potential this franchise has. So yeah, everyone should be amped that we’ll soon have one of the wealthiest owners in baseball. And I don’t care if he makes money off the White Sox as long as he invests in his product and makes it something worthwhile. This is ultimately a business and that outcome would be a welcome outcome for both fans and ownership. What we have today isn’t working.
