Chicago White Sox

Merkin specifically calls out Zach Wheeler in his Yolmer Sanchez article: I don’t care what anyone says, something is fucking up...

Oh shit?, now it makes sense

What does that mean?

Bingo...I’ll get worried when the Twins outright their version of Yolmer.

I’m an optimist at heart!

Moustakas doesn’t work well with the addition of Grandal. I’d rather go with someone Gwinnett who can play some OF at least and will be way cheaper.

Obviously a huge reach here, but random reddit user hinting we will sign Wheeler in the next 24 hours. Unfortunately this user doesn’t have a cool handle like KatyPerrysBootyHole, so likely not legitimate.

But why a week early?

That’s peavy44 and you show him some god damn respect!

Fully agree.

Why would they have to place him on outright waivers to work out a new deal?

I think he’s better than he showed last year, but obviously the bat is still a problem.

No way thinks Yolmer is terrible, he’s just not worth $6M+ to be a reserve infielder behind Moncada, Anderson, & Madrigal.

What’s your point?

The smoke points to Wheeler, but honestly it’s impossible to say.

It 100% has to be. IMO something is happening tonight or tomorrow.

Yolmer is the only guy we’re non-tendering, so your point isn’t really applicable. However, there are four or five pitchers on the 40 man roster who are candidates to be outrighted when we do add players but there’s simply no reason to cut them lose yet if we plan on non-tendering Yolmer in a week.

Why would unnecessarily outright say Vieira if you plan to non-tender Yolmer in a week?

If you planned on non-tendering Yolmer on Monday, then he’s without question the guy you cut to open up a roster spot.

Evan White signed a long-term with the Mariners. I know he’s not anywhere the same caliber of prospect as Eloy, but damn is his extension way more team friendly. Also, it’s really a bummer we took Burger over him as I did really want Evan at the time.

Actually a pretty good outcome.

WHEELER ADDITION INCOMING!

The fact that WSD wrote that article and threw out today as a possibility is some serious fucking smoke IMO.

Did he delete that tweet? Couldn’t find it when I went looking for it.

I wouldn’t overreact to Morosi’s tweet, I think it has more to do with the Phillies’ intentions than Morosi really having a good pulse of what’s going on with Wheeler.
