Chicago White Sox

Two innings late, but love the move here! Well done Tony!

Yeah, sucks one of our best hitters against RHP is up

Which is the reason he shouldn’t have been batting there, but not because he’s ice cold.

Would be hilarious if he got hurt and the Cubs got nothing for him.

He’s the exact opposite of ice cold right now against RHP, he’s literally put up a 120 wRC or better in each of the last four weeks.

Tim Anderson would like to have words with you

Agreed, but at least rip the parts of his game that warrant ripping.

Exactly, I get ridiculing his defense, but the bat has totally delivered in the role it’s intended for.

I love Zack Collins gets ridiculed every time he doesn’t get a hit despite having a 134 wRC+ against righties coming into tonight.

?

Moncada’s permanent loss of power may have been a bit premature

Jose gonna cycle tonight

When factoring in expected cost, I’d 100% go with Escobar.

He can also play RF though and that versatility will be reflected in his cost. I’ll happily take him if he comes at a reasonable price, but I’m skeptical that Cherrington doesn’t get a nice return for him.

Marte has a career 119 wRC+ against RHP and is a better defensive OF who can CF if needed. He’d be a big upgrade over Goodwin IMO.

Adam Frazier a nice player and a sizable upgrade over Leury, but I don’t want to give up Crochet for him and I’m not sure they’d except anything less. Maybe you could kill them with quantity and offer up Rodriguez, Ramos, & Thompson but that’s a stiff price to pay for three kids with legit top 100 prospect upside.

Not adding some sort of bat would be insane and don’t buy it for a minute. Leury is not an everyday guy if you have serious World Series aspirations.

100% agree.

And will be substantially cheaper.

It’s a shame a near deal fell apart, although it still seems like a foregone conclusion Escobar ends up on the Sox.

I’m just messing around, but one of these days I will get that beer with you!

I’ll be there and you better not pass on those free beer offers this time!

He’s in the mix as our starting RF.

Hamilton is a valuable weapon in the postseason, worse case scenario he mysteriously pulls a hamstring and is DLed until the playoffs.

I literally watched the replay seven times, such an awesome moment for the rookie!
