This season Colas isn’t even AAAA fodder. I have no idea why this guy hasn’t panned out but at this point they should just trade him and get what they can for him. It’s obvious that he’s not in future White Sox plans
Nah. They should just play him at the big league level tbh. It would be nice for Oscar to earn it first in AAA, but let’s face it, he’s not returning much. I still feel his opportunity will come this season, but it’s obvious he’s made very few fans in the org.
Sox trade a 25 year old Colas for a minimal return with the ability to option him for 1.75 more seasons and he probably turns into a 2 WAR OF. Just let him play RF, especially with Eloy hurt again.

We’re going to find out tomorrow just how much the Sox hate Colas. He’s really the only 40 man option besides DeLoach.
Colas did get pinch hit for tonight, fwiw.

Bold of you to assume we don't wait 3 or 4 days before ILing him.
Haha considered making that joke in there because it’s so true.

Only 4 more months we need to worry about Eloy. Biggest bust of the rebuild imo. Sad, really.

There is a high likelihood that Julks is JAG, but for all the outrage this move received here, he at least looks like a mildly interesting short side platoon option with a boatload of cheap control. Obvious SSS etc, but you can’t deny he has put a jolt into the lineup in a few facets.
And with Eloy now hurt again, hopefully he gets a few more looks.

Exactly. It seems like they already have made their decision on Colas but if you're not playing them this year, when will you? I think they're both gone in the off-season (if not before then).
Id really loathe to see them move on from Oscar without another extended look.

Probably Nick Kurtz or Jac Caglianone who they'll get the 2024 draft. Sucks that it seems decently likely we'll end up with a 1B in the draft.

I think with a DFA you have 10 days to make a deal if someone claims, and if it doesn't work out you could pull them back or let them go for nothing.
I thought it was teams had 7 days (previously was 10 under previous CBA) to either trade a DFAd player before placing on waivers, and if no deal is found you then have to place player on waivers and if player is claimed your options are 1) work a trade; 2) allow the claiming team to have player or; 3) pull back and put back on your 40 man.

If Julks was DFA'd, he was presumably placed on waivers, no?
Were the Sox afraid he would get snatched up by someone else?
Either that, or the Sox claimed him and this is what they agreed upon in exchange.

Julks is actually somewhat interesting. Has big time power, has speed and is a decent OF. Still has two options left. Don't love giving up a lottery ticket for him, but happy to give him some reps down the line.

Good riddance on Ortega. Guy never should have been here and was terrible. Was appalling watching Pedro attempt to use him as a defensive CF when he was brutal out there.

If Soroka struggles again today he needs to go to Charlotte
You can’t just send guys with his service time to the minors.

IS Max Stassi dead? Is he ever coming back?
Believe he took a swing to the hand several weeks back. Hasn’t played since. Is on 60 day and isn’t eligible to come off for a couple weeks anyway.

Stay hot, chitown.

I don't expect Stassi to ever don the Sox uni. That said, Chuckie Robinson would probably be better overall than Maldonado. Plus, I believe Quero will be ready for a cup of September coffee, but I don't think he has to be added to the 40 man this winter, so I doubt they do it.
Nor should they. Just let Quero stay in the minors.

Robert should be back by middle of June. Moncada should be back by middle of July or maybe late July. No rush for Ramos right now he has at least 50 games ahead of him at 3B before a decision needs to be made. Ideally Moncada would get hot as the DH/3B and then be traded for anything.
Robert will be back well before the middle of June. He'll on a rehab within 10 days.

I was thinking maybe calling Remillard up gives them an easy DFA to promote Walsh and send down AV down. Then I looked at Walsh’s stats at AAA. Still possible I guess if he starts hitting there I guess.
I know Colas hasn’t been good and I know the org is not a fan, but the obvious answer to an AV demotion (which prob won’t happen) is Sheets to 1B and Colas to RF.

Hope Getz's press availability - if he has one - is better covered than the last one.

Depends on what your definition of notable signing is. Signing some mid tier FA to a 4 year $70 million deal is not notable to me. If they payroll is ~$50 million I need to see a difference maker added to this roster.
I would say a 4/$70M deal would be fairly notable, at least for the Sox. Off the cuff, I believe that would be the 3rd largest guaranteed contract in White Sox history. Obvious its all relative with the Sox. Its probably pretty much set in stone that JR isn't going to spend that kind of $ on a pitcher, any the top of the FA class for position players is Soto, Bregman, Alonso (maybe Bellinger), and then a pretty stark drop off. I wouldn't be totally shocked if only 4-5 position players cleared that kind of money next offseason. I doubt the Sox will be one of the teams that make those signings.

Did Getz have a media session this afternoon?
