Chicago White Sox

Saved a run?

I really like Graveman…good fit for the southside

Eloy looks like he’s going to explode into a million pieces when he slides like that

Really too bad our two small ball players couldn’t get Engel over

I still can’t believe we got McGuire for Collins

Come on Big Energy, keep the chains moving

Fuck yes!!

Come the fuck on Bummer!

Give Eloy that Gold Glove right now!

Big Energy with that big hustle!!

Do you still think there is smoke there and it’s just delayed?

All savagery hopes may rest in Kath & Colas’ hands if this ends up being legit.

All you asked for was one savage this offseason and Hahn about take away a potential one instead.

The A’s could have Just claimed him for nothing. Now, he does have a little more value given he’s not on the 40 man roster, but I doubt part of the calculus here.

To be fair, the English version of those tweets are straight from Google Translate, so it’s very possible some context has been lost in translation. For now, I’m going to trust Pal and believe there is some real smoke here, even if nothing happens tonight. Regardless, a Montas trade to the Sox logically makes sense for both sides. OAK probably doesn’t want to carry him to the trade deadline given his track record and the Sox probably don’t want to wait to the trade deadline given the state of the pitching staff. I wouldn’t be shocked if a deal came to together fairly soon, but OAK would obviously have to concede from the Vaughn ask. Maybe that’s finally happening and talks are becoming more productive? I guess we’ll have to give it a few days and find out.

What does this have to do with underselling asset?

Any hints at what it is?

What a weird 180 by Mike. Maybe we get lucky and Hahn has a Kenny Lofton like SoxFest special planned for tomorrow.

To be fair, the people feeding WSD stuff probably don’t want it out there that a deal is close so no one jumps in last second. Not saying this is going to happen, but I don’t think anything yet discredits the original rumor.

Where is Michael Marino?

Velesquez has been solid in even number years, just got to hope that trends continues in 2022.

While the system definitely deserves its 30th place ranking, it could move up substantially in a hurry. Honestly, by mid season I’d expect Colas to be considered a top 100 guy. And by season’s end, I’d expect Montgomery & Ramos to be there as well. Going from zero top 100 prospects to three would be pretty sweet given our lower draft positions and lack of additional picks in recent years. And I wouldn’t be shocked if a fourth guy snuck in there between Vera, Burke, Popeye, or Kath.

So sounds like Tony considered skipping the 5th starter’s spot, but wants to give the guys an extra day of rest. As such, it seems like it has to be one of Banks, McClure, or Bilous as all three pitched today and should be good to go on Thursday. Banks: 2 IP, 0 R, 4 K, 2 BB, 0 H McClure: 5 IP, 4 R, 0 ER, 3 K, 1 BB, 7 H, 2 HR Bilous: 4 IP, 2 R, 1 ER, 3 K, 3 BB, 2 H Banks definitely seems like the favorite, although he’ll greatly limited innings wise. Really seems like we should replace Mendick with an arm who can multiple innings as the next couple days could get real ugly.

?…he literally says “I wonder what the Reds were asking for Gray”.
