Chicago White Sox

You’re saying for the two rotation pieces? Yeah, ideally one of them would be left-handed. Adds more complexity that we’re so right-handed in both the lineup and rotation.

Oh we have no choice, just would have been nice to limit the draft pick damage is all I’m saying.

I think there’s practically zero chance they deal him this offseason. He’s our closer next year or at least in the mix. Realistically, our biggest offseason needs are now the following (in no particular order): TOR starter Depth starter RH setup man Right fielder Veteran 1B / DH Left-banded bat* That’s at minimum five additions that are needed this offseason (assuming one of those bats is left-handed). Hahn will definitely need to be aggressive if he wants to fill all those spots. Would have helped if we got started at this deadline.

The challenge Hahn faces this offseason is the farm system is in really rough shape after you remove untouchables. Just too many guys who regressed or got injured this year. That puts a ton of pressure on him to fill a lot of holes via free agency. If they’re willing to fund a league average payroll, then I think it’s doable. But if they plan on filling major holes via trade, they’re in for a rude awakening.

Dude, I literally said in this thread that WAR doesn’t account for context which is admittedly a short-coming. Are you actually reading our posts?

Zero chance...isn’t the QO worth ~$18M?

That’s true.

Didn’t he sign Paulo Orlando?

Easy way to solve that dual monitor issue!

The worst part of the trade deadline wasn’t being unable to extract value out of Colome or trading away international bonus pool to dump salary, but rather guys like Wheeler, Bumgarner, etc were not traded and will now cost us a draft pick if signed. Really big bummer there.

Good god man you are ridiculous at times.

Which of those guys are too 50 prospects?

What? He wasn’t a 2 to 3 win player with us and I guess Tim Anderson doesn’t count for some reason.

Narvaez sucks at catching, have you ever actually watched him play?

Narvaez wasn’t a high price at the time.

Keep em coming!

Deals still coming in...

Still time remaining...I’m not giving up hope yet!

Still plenty of time for some fireworks.

?

Sox got to be finalizing something with the Phillies I feel like.

Yup

Even if we don’t make a trade (which would suck), I hope guys like Wheeler get moved so they don’t have draft pick compensation tied to them this offseason.

You want us to trade for relievers?
