I don't often do this (because I'm not usually wrong), but @Look at Ray Ray Run was completely correct about WCJ being trash and Sexton being a much better pick. WCJ can't even play defense now. The paint is free cheese for defenders.

Carter has regressed, somehow. He is bad at everything now apparently. The sad part is barely anybody on the team has value. Zach is the only one that can get you a decent 1st rounder. Guys like Thad Young or Otto may net you a late 1st from a contender. I can't believe what the Bucks traded for Jrue Holiday. I feel like Zach + Sato or even Zach + Lauri is a better trade for the Bucks, and similar salary. I would make either trades in a heartbeat.

So... Are any of you in favor of trying to trade Zach? What would it take for you to trade him?

Maybe the website subscribes to the Jack Parkman school of pessimism. Yoan Moncada won't be the same until 2023 - if we even have the MLB back by then.

I'm pretty sure these are just bonus amounts, and they get some standard minor league contract. Could be wrong though.

The MLB needs to either have an international draft or allow them to enter the traditional draft when they hit 18. While they are at it, they need to get rid of the stupid rule requiring college players to finish their junior year before entering the draft.

Jimmy with the Christmas bomb! Hendriks to the White Sox confirmed!

@KrankinSox is this Bernie guy legit? He isn't named after a food or an appendage, so I'm skeptical.

Madrigal ain't hitting .340 in a regular season. He also may put up a sub .030 ISO. The guy has absolutely no muscle on him.

Madrigal and Rutherford. Get er done!

All depends on the cost of course. If all it takes is The Little Magician and some lesser pieces, sure. Sign La Stella to replace him and you're good to go.

Thank you to whoever changed it! Much appreciated! I owe ya some likes/reputation points.

Happy Holidays** to all here at Soxtalk!

Andrew Yang filed to run for mayor of NYC. Bill de Blasio is terrible. I will be pulling for Yang.

Wendell and Coby look horrible.

@Y2Jimmy0 @Y2Jimmy, do you expect them to play him a year in the DSL like they did with Robert? I hope this isn't the case.

La Stella would be a great super sub on this team. He'd definitely get some good playing time, especially when Vaughn is still in the minors. I assume he wants to sign somewhere as a starter, though.

Kyle? SS2K5? Amigos?

They throw a bunch of crap at the wall + steal info from others. To be privy to all the information they spew out, they would have to be Rick Hahn. They also somehow know every other team interested in whatever player the White Sox are pursuing. They are frauds. Even if Portillos has been correct, he throws way too much other crap at the wall that isn't correct.

From what I can tell, they seem pretty evenly ranked.

I was so appalled by TLR's hire that I almost stopped cheering for the team. Were you that appalled? Didn't think so.

Why would Paddy stay with this organization? I'm surprised he hasn't bolted to somewhere that would provide him with additional resources and spending.

Yes, we get it. The rich get bailed out and play by different rules. News flash: it has always been that way and always will be that way.

I have student debt still, about 10k left. Would it be cool if they paid it off for me? Of course. Do I need it? Not at all. Were in the middle of a pandemic and many people have lost their jobs. We're really talking about bailing out the college educated up to $50k while there are people struggling mightily that have gotten only a fraction of that in stimulus checks. Believe or not that isn't very fair to a lot of people, and that does matter.
