Chicago White Sox

Yeah, should be a real fun group. Upper minors still lacking pitching depth though, but got to give it time I guess.

Oh boy…you got me spooked now!

Hug watch? ?

We’re going to have some fun arms to follow next year at the two A ball clubs between Kelley, Vera, Mena, Schultz, Pallette, Cannon, & McDougal. Dalquist should be there too if ugly starts are your cup of tea.

I think it’s time to give up on your theoretical Vaughn for Keller fantasy ?

Yup, I almost posted the same on Kopech. He just needs another year to get his arm ready for the rigors of a full season.

Fully agree…just need to start DHing him far more in hopes of keeping him healthier.

Pretty wild that out of the eight legit prospects we got for Sale, Quintana, & Eaton that Cease has hands down developed into the best player. Kid a fucking stud and hopefully we can give him a chance to dominate in October.

This is why you don’t sell low on Eloy…dude has legit 40 HR power

Spirit has a buy one get one free deal going…let’s give Seby a travel buddy in Sheets!

I’d love to see how this offense would do under a different hitting coach. No doubt we’d still struggle some against tough RHP, but I’m certain we’d hit more HRs and likely see more disciplined approaches.

Yes

I love every questionable decision Tony made today has paid off

Tony cares more about rewarding the vet who had a hero moment yesterday than winning baseball games

No Vaughn today, but more Sheets! Unless I missed an injury, fire this fucking clown!!

Yeah, Jerry ain’t going to allow a White Flag 2.0 with Tony at helm.

Hahn definitely loves his old guys.

The big question to me is what is 4 1/2 years of Vaughn worth right now? I’d have to imagine at least two blue chip prospects plus a third interesting piece. None of the other guys in your proposed package are top 100 prospects (although I think Ramos is close), so the Nationals really have to like Vaughn or feel they can spin him off in the off-season for a haul. I proposed something similar and felt like it was a little short, but I can’t imagine too many teams are going to offer substantially more. The problem is all it takes is one Preller to do something crazy and we’re quickly out of the ballgame.

Fully agree. I’d be willing to do Vaughn+++, but it can’t be Montgomery or Colas as the plusses (and I’d be hesitant to give up Vera). That means something like Vaughn, Sosa or Popeye, Ramos or Kath, and some young arm (Mena, Thompson, Kelley, etc.). Probably not enough for the Nationals, but Vaughn is as about as good of a centerpiece that I think someone would be willing to offer.

GOAT insider Portillo’s confirms Sox’s involvement in Soto discussions:

BIG ENERGY!?!

Because we have little to no starting pitching depth. Not suggesting that Quintana is the answer, but I’m not surprised they’re looking for an insurance arm since there isn’t anything after Martin.

I’m going to make a prediction that the Sox end up trading Luis Mieses for Jose Quintana and the kid immediately proceeds to blow up in Pittsburgh’s farm.

I don’t think he’s staying around much longer. At some point it either becomes clean house or make it the Hahn-Haber show.
