Meh....lets go battle, i would still take our roster over theirs as constructed for next season and the future moving forward. Our team is a night and day difference from last season and we have many young pitchers. The Sox will be just fine.

Not saying they would resign either of those two but trading for 2 years of Bryant is doable for them, would have kept them in contention and be an all in move. Just saying they were going to get someone. Donaldson doesn’t move the needle much for me, they had a lot of career years last season and when it’s all said and done it comes down to pitching. If they have it or not is yet to be seen.

Meh I’d rather them sign an aging 3B, hope he falls off the cliff rather than them make a trade for an arenado or Bryant

Yeahh, u clearly didn’t see the fumble recovery they did not get in the first quarter.

Meh, Mendick is going to be the opening day second basemen for a few weeks, you are going to need a little more depth then that to start the season and with the moves they have made so far I’m assuming they are going to want someone a little more proven to be able to handle infield duties.

I can’t see them not bringing in a super utility guy and simply rolling with what we have. As constructed that seems to be really the last piece we need to go into the season.

I still expect a utility infielder to be brought in. Someone who can play 2nd, SS, and 3rd.

Great signing to wrap up an A+ offseason. Now the Whitesox just need to clear a couple roster spots to officially announce Cishek and Encarnacion.

He also said this

Hahaha well that would make a little more sense then rather than the former reds IF ?

I’m all about trading Collins because I do not see a fit long term here with the Sox but not for him, he has more value then a utility infielder who will only start for a couple weeks.

What does our international spending pool look like? Is he a player that signs now or later in June/July?

This. The Sox aren’t signing their future closer and if Colome goes down or craps the bed they will have a couple options before having to turn to one of these guys in an emergency. They just need another serviceable piece. If the Sox can get a healthy Herrera this season and he can bounce back that is just a bonus.

He had a 2.95 era and was .1 WAR less this last season than Hudson. If he’s washed up Hudson is right there with him. Also, good thing we have Bummer for the 8th. Either one of these guys should be a 6-7th inning type of pitcher. If either are closing for the Sox then something has gone very wrong.

He’s more of a known name, just pitched in the World Series as well

Beat me to it by like 5 seconds. Dammit lol on top of that he converted 33 in a row for the marlins

Cishek has 132 saves over his career Hudson only has 17

???

If this were to happen, Hahn would need to be fired immediately. Talk about throwing the rebuild in the trash. Absolutely terrible move.
