Chicago White Sox

Forgot who coined it here, but always be selling relievers

Here is Fangraphs’ write-up from last year where they ranked him the Giants’ 7th prospect and a 45 FV overall.

What staring catcher is available in free agency that would only cost us money?

Eloy vs the Wall just regurgitates whatever NBB says. I find him far less credible.

We literally have three OFs including a rookie. Definitely need a 4th OF at minimum.

Zero chance they are done

Pearson would be a great secondary piece. Prospect stock is way down right now, but move him to the bullpen and let him work with Katz and you may have a bullpen beast.

4th OF, bullpen (I like a cheap Alex Reyes deal), or even a 2B like Segura. Got to get an impactful piece for him that can help in 2023 and ideally a live arm with options that can potentially help offset the loss in the bullpen. I think Pearson has a legit shot at being a high leverage reliever so when combined with a guy like Jansen I think you have to consider it, especially if helps in other areas.

Because part of the allure of moving Liam is taking advantage of the salary relief it provides and free agents aren’t waiting around forever. I also think the trade market is starting to pick up and Hendriks is one of the most desirable assets available. Just feels like a pre-Christmas trade will happen, but obviously just me speculating there.

And Bob is basically implying the org’s message is “bring us a serious offer or get the f*** out of here.” I think he’s gone if he can land us a quality piece that can help us in 2023 while also freeing up salary space for other needs.

What if you could trade Hendriks to the Jays for Jansen & Pearson and then use the $10M in savings for Duvall and other things? To me, that would likely make the team stronger overall. And don’t get me wrong, Hendriks is a beast, but the dude’s arm could blow up any minute and I think we have other options that can be capable in that role.

He’s 100% gone by Christmas.

I was thinking the same, but then pulled back on that theory just because McCann doesn’t like the type of player who could demand much concessions. It’s a fair point and more common with star players, who more typically receive these kind of partial no-trade clauses.

They do read this board. Saw one of them steal a post of mine just yesterday.

The Mets must be planning to move Escobar if they gave Mendick a guaranteed contract.

The two main theories out there are the org is a s%*#-show and he wanted to protect himself and that he was simply bitter that we didn’t bring him back. Either way, I’m glad the ridiculous Liam for McCann + B/C prospect rumors can die a quick death.

All these fake insiders suggesting McCann to the Sox have now been outed.

I had to do a double take when I read it because it was so bad. The good news is this guy is a total fraud just like FootlongComiskeyDog, Bartoloscolonscopy, & Happy Man.

The Mets would literally give McCann away for nothing because he has negative value and will cost them $23M per year on a marginal basis. Us taking him on in a theoretical Hendriks trade means we’re getting something else incredibly valuable like Baty. Zero reason to believe Eloy would ever be involved in such a trade unless somehow Alvarez is coming back.

Hahn is a bad GM, but he’s not this dumb. This is just typical New York fan arrogance leading to fake New York insiders to create ridiculously stupid, one-sided trade rumors. Honestly, I just posted because it’s worth a good chuckle that anyone posted this as being legitimate.

Just wanted to see the board explode over the worst rumor in internet history ???

Yup, it would be huge.
