Chicago White Sox

I thought you had in the bag man and somehow @ChiSox59 pulled a double upset to win it all!

Yeah, I know this because I had him on my fantasy team and that shit-show of a start cost me like $500. At least I didn’t completely crumble like @Look at Ray Ray Run’s team ?.

That’s why I’m somewhat ok with the move despite if we end up on the short-end of the deal. We needed another TOR starter for the 2021 season and Kopech, Cease, & Crochet are all a year or two away from filling that kind of role. With the rest of the core in place, it made to sense to get a bridge guy to buy you some time even if you end up losing out the deal a little bit.

Not all WAR is treated equal, but this is a trade we could easily lose from a lifetime surplus value perspective. That being said, baseballtradevalues says we won this trade and that’s all that matters!

To be fair, he was a rookie coming off TJS who had spent like half a season in AA. He was pretty damn impressive all things considered.

I say no to the Babe, but I’d take former Cub La Stella

We’re going to sign a starter. I’d love to see that be Paxton over Quintana.

Nope

At this point, I’m expecting us to sign Quintana, Hendricks, Joc, and possibly some bat that can open the season at DH.

And no, I’m not being serious about Avery Weems.

You got to be fucking kidding me! Kid’s a 50 FV grade prospect! Fuck you Hahn!

Yup, pretty much this.

Did you just compare the GOAT Lance Lynn to Shelby Miller?! ?

So basically this is how our rotation is stacking up at the moment: Giolito Lynn Keuchel* FREE AGENT Cease Kopech Stiever That free agent starter suddenly becomes pretty important with Dunning gone. I really hope they aim higher than Quintana though.

Because our owner is Jerry Reinsdorf?

When did you become Jack Parkman?

100% agree on not liking the process, but I love me some Lance Lynn.

I think you might be right about Hendricks. I could see the Sox spending a little bit more than expected on a reliever.

But the GM at the time just became the President and almost certainly negotiated this trade with Hahn since they are BFF.

It’s going to 100% happen. Add in one reliever though too.

It’s the right move if Jerry refuses to pay top dollar for a TOR starter as we’ll need to develop our own and Kopech & Cease have much higher ceilings obviously.

I seriously doubt it’s anyone that good

To Steve’s point, it’s pretty ridiculous they didn’t agree to this deal last August.

Why’s that?

It was kind of strange when Katz listed every young pitcher on the staff and didn’t say he was working with Dunning.
