It’s great that we are starting to catch up to the big boys.

This is huge against the Astros will hurt them tremendously. Could of have been worse though.

Huge!!!! Houston gets crippled here and well deserved.

Baseball America just came out with a 2020 Mock Draft. I stopped being a member. Does anyone have any info on first dozen picks?

Really don’t understand this trade for the Rays. They must know something we don’t. I think Liberatore has huge potential. Rays got a very light return.

https://bleacherreport.com/articles/2869598-cuban-star-prospect-oscar-colas-reportedly-seeking-mlb-contract-after-defecting You would think White Sox have a huge advantage here. Cross our fingers.

Great move and team friendly contract.

This is great stuff. Love the article on what Cleveland is doing. Must read!!!!

Nice signing!!!!

Don’t mind this deal!!! Needed a solid veteran. Good move.

I like this deal and think it will turn out in Sox favor. Mazara will only make $5.6 million, have 2 years of control, about to turn 25 years old best years are ahead of him, bats lefty which Sox needed. Walker is only 13 months younger in High A Ball, hasn't been able to hit lefties, and shown little power. I know Mazara also has had difficulties hitting lefties, but was rushed with the Rangers and I think things might click in a different environment. I know analytics have been down on him, but has a ton of upside and is definitely a need and risk the White Sox should take.

JD Martinez has 3 years and $62.5 left on his contract at Age 32. Abreu should be nowhere near that type of contract and he's 1 year older than Martinez.

Love the Grandal move bringing in a lefty at bat that gets on base that brings solid defense to help the rotation. Hate this Abreu signing. Ages 33-35 regression is a guaranteed and horrible defense at 1B and will eventually move to full time DH. Hate having one set player at DH. I like being able to rotate your DH when you have Eloy's bad defense and others needing a day off to help rest their bodies through a long season. This 3 year contract was completely Jerry leading the charge.

The only way things will change is Reinsdorf is 6 feet under and new ownership. Tired of the same broken record. It really is sad that every major league team is committed including Baltimore internationally. Pathetic

Eno Sarris of Athletic totally put down the White Sox in his chat saying they don’t provide game plans to their minor league players and hire analytics people and no one in the organization listen to them. Regarding the Lisle firing. Crazy stuff

This could be the worst thread ever. Started talking about Lisle and I have no idea where this shit went to. Find a different place to post about wages and politics.

Hopefully Feagan writes an inside piece on the firing.

https://www.mlb.com/prospects/stats/draft-statistics The college hitters other than Jung and Adley have had low numbers across the board. Long season and need to rest/train for the offseason. Not worried with Vaughn

Buster Onley stating a lot of people in the industry believe Angels will sign Gerrit Cole

This is actually great comedy

Walton is so bad, but still kind of entertaining

Don’t forget we got Zack Burdi for the compensation pick for losing Smarazdja. Lol

Bumgarner has emphasized he wants to stay in the NL because he loves hitting. The only way he comes to AL if someone severely overpays which we know the White Sox won't do. But at the same time would be happy for the White Sox not to give him a long term deal.
