Chicago White Sox

Lopez is second on the team in pitching fWAR…bet none of us would put money on that. Get well soon Reynaldo because we need you bud.

Got to get that big left-handed stick that will soon be in Charlotte over one of our top three hitters who had always gotten five days of rest in the last nine days.

Yankees aren’t going to eat that much salary.

Don’t get me wrong, adding someone like Gallo isn’t ideal, but it would be better than doing nothing for RF and that’s exactly what we did last trade deadline.

Pretty much, just got to wait for new ownership to actually enforce accountability and strive for greatness over loyalty

Yup, he’s got to Tony proof this roster as best as he can.

Why is Sheets even on the roster? Call up Haseley and let Vaughn play everyday

No one is excited for the 2022 version of Joey Gallo, but the small chance he can return to 2019 / 2021 is exciting if the cost is basically nothing and other options prove too costly.

Would they consider moving Vaughn though?

123 wRC+ against RHP is pretty good

Lol…definitely don’t want to do that.

Weren’t our pitchers really good last year?

?

Normally I’d agree but with a roster spot opening something seems odd

And Vaughn not in the lineup after six days off in 10 days ?

Vaughn not in the lineup tonight after six days off over the past 10 days ?????????????????????????

Move definitely coming soon then

Yup, their owners suck but are smart enough to hire good baseball people to run things. There is zero business they should be ahead of us right in the standings, but alas we got Rick Hahn & Tony La Russa running the ship.

There is a zero percent chance they don’t add a reliever.

His numbers are horrible at home and great away from Yankee Stadium, so trying to understand if the exit velocity decline is consistent for both if it’s worse at Yankee Stadium for whatever reason.

So their performance since June 1st is predictive of go forward production? And does defense not matter? No matter how you slice it, Sheets is not the answer for RF. Gallo may not be either, but at least there is some sort of outcome where he is. And there are other options for RF other than Gallo. While Peralta scares me a bit, his production this year would be a massive upgrade over Sheets.

There is no tough question on Sheets…he goes down the moment you acquire a RF. That’s easy to facilitate. And there is plenty of room for pitching additions as Ruiz can go and Foster & Lambert can be optioned. The only real challenge is adding both a RF and a 2B assuming we stick with a four man bench. That’s where Leury’s contract really hurts you and would likely force you to trade Engel to make room.

There is a balance that can be had here though. If we stick to rentals, none of the savages or even Vera will need to be considered for a trade. Honestly, the real risk is if Hahn decides to trade for a SP with an extra year of control like Luis Castillo or Frankie Montas. There should be RFs, 2Bs, & RPs who can be acquired with B & C tier prospects, but SP might prove more problematic. I really pray we survive this deadline with Montgomery & Colas as a minimum as we really can’t afford to give up young LH hitting when Hahn has struggled so much to acquire at the major league level.
