Chicago White Sox

Anything can happen if you make the playoffs, but no doubt we should be looking to make upgrades.

New predictions: Matt Foster & Jason Bilous for Eduardo Escobar Micker Adolfo, Jimmy Lambert, & Konner Pilkington for Daniel Bard & Mychal Givens Luis Mieses & McKinley Moore for Kyle Schwarber

We aren’t in the Rays’ financial situation, so trading controllable stars is unlikely to happen IMO. We are far more likely to run guys out through the end of their contracts and hope for some comp picks.

Is this directed at me? If so, I have no idea what you are talking about.

Blocking I agree with, but weren’t his throwing numbers pretty good in the minors?

Wasn’t Flowers a poor framer with us too? Just feels like fate that Collins leaves and suddenly becomes a great framer or they go to robot umps and that part of his game doesn’t matter.

Our history trading away catchers recently is not the best.

Yes, I personally think that’s an overpay for a guy who has historically been a 2 to 2.5 win player. You’re talking about 12 years of team control of two guys who have flashed legit major league ability this year for a eight months of the left-handed Nick Madrigal. I’m sure most here will disagree with that, but if I’m moving both in a trade I want someone more impactful and/or with more control. Because once those two are gone, you quickly run out of trade pieces that can get you more than a rental.

@fathom - Why do you love Frazier but hate Madrigal?

Because they’re two of our best trade chips. If you move them, you better get something in return that can help beyond the 2021 season.

Not a Frazier fan, think he’s a dude that tails off big-time down the stretch.

I fine with trading them for the right pieces, although Sheets has been very impressive and that goes beyond the flukey HR rate. He just has very professional approach at the plate and seems like a guy we should hold onto until we land a legit LH power bat.

He’d be a huge overpay for Escobar, what else do they have that we’d want?

Would they even want him Hayes at 3B?

Come on Jake, make up for Yoan’s fuckup

Is Whitesoxdave sitting next to Hahn?

Can James Fegan run down and explain the rules to these chumps?

Tony needs to get ejected over this shit

This is fucking nuts

Holy fuck

Nice!!!

Just get us a sac fly Leury

Imagine if Escobar was up here instead of Leury

These guys are playing like they were at the Sox Machine / 108 tailgate before the game
