Luis Robert all the way on the bottom.

Hoping Vera's velocity bounces back after missing so much time from Covid/Shoulder/Lat issues. I agree with Law's writeup on Thompson the Sox aren't using athletic strengths with his development. I can see a team targeting Thompson and taking off with an organization that does a better job with player development.

Law’s Top 20 is up and running in the Athletic.

6-1 190 pounds is his listing. No way that is correct. Clark is a beast!

Finally some good news!

Houston has been really hitting the Cuban market the past 2-3 years. Not sure why the White Sox couldn't beat this in 23 signing period.

That ship has sailed. He’s 100% a reliever. Crotchet has never thrown over 70 innings in a season.

Shocked that Salas was thrown in the deal. He’s a big time sleeper prospect. Marlins often make strange moves. I would definitely be hitting them up about Jazz. You never know seems to not be very popular in the clubhouse.

Hopefully we get a surprise or two. Or we play the waiting game where more late Cubans become eligible and sign them on the cheap.

Get well soon Liam! Stay Positive!!!

Sign me up. Those Twitter posts are old. Anything current?

Very Underwhelming right now. Hopefully we get some surprises or later signings after the 15th.

Houston Astros have around 38 players in their organization with Cuban heritage. They have now overtaken the White Sox organization with most Cuban players. I can’t find the article, but wasn’t there around a dozen Cuban players eligible during the summer for this signing period.

https://www.mlbtraderumors.com/2022/12/gregory-polanco-signs-with-npbs-chiba-lotte-marines.html Wow this is shocking how he fell off so quickly! His swing was never the same after shoulder surgery.

Gave up international money for that dud.

Thompson, Kelly, and Dalquist haven’t made the jump. I agree with what they said on Thompson his secondary pitches haven’t progressed and the lack of curveball bite has been disappointing. Also, shocking how Sox haven’t been able to improve Kelly’s fastball spin rate to make it play up more. Dalquist isn’t even mentioned. I was most high on him when they drafted Dalquist because how athletic he was and room to grow into his body. I do think Fangraphs might not be up to date on Mena and the progress he made.

The writeup on Kath wasn’t good. Also, Fangraphs are down on how we are developing our younger arms and in the organization.

Whatever happened to Tatis brother? Thought he had the most talent of the bunch.

That might be the worst trade proposal I’ve seen in awhile! Lol

January 15th is coming up. Are we hearing any names that are linked with Sox besides Reyes?

Benintendi perfect fit in the 2 hole. Love that we don’t have to worry about Eloy having to play the field anymore. Also, love that we finally spent money instead of depleting our farm system in a trade. Let’s cross our fingers and hope the Sox can add some pitching and OF depth for injuries to arise. Our lack of minor league depth in Triple A has killed us for the past decade.

I'm thinking this is happening because of the pressure of the fan base being up in arms over the lack of movement. Reinsdorf feeling the heat!

Braves GM Alex Anthropolus. Just guessed at the spelling. Has free reins with no owner. Anthropolus is at another level of Baseball IQ compared to Kenny and Hahn.

Davis Martin, Crochet, Cespedes, Zavala, Stiever for Murphy
