Reynaldo to IL
Who are they even going to bring up? Martin and stick him in the pen? Other options on 40 man are Sousa, Severino, Markel, Aybar and BIlous...none of which seem like real options at this point. Maybe its time they give Hunter Schryver a shot.

Trade Rumors Catch-all
It would be. I’d rather try Gallo.

Why not Colas?
While I absolutely agree with this line of thinking and have all along the line with our guys starting with Kopech, and then Eloy, then Robert, and Vaughn. But one thing has always been consistent..they challenge the player, or extend them and call them up. If Colas keeps hitting like this, they aren’t waiting until May 2023 to do something. This is the White Sox.

White Sox among 'most agressive' teams in pitching market
Like I said, nice season. He’s a 31 YO back the rotation SP having a career year. Good for him. Don’t be the guy to pay full price. Dude has a career whip of just under 1.5. He’s an upgrade on no one in our rotation.

Cause he sucks. Nice season for him. Wouldn’t touch him with a ten foot pole unless TEX hands him over for a song.

Who we removing from the rotation? His buddy Lance Lynn?

My point remains.

If that's the case, I wouldn't expect much other than a pen arm or two. Acquiring better players would push some of his beloveds out of the lineup.

So you would sell when 3 GB when literally in the midst of a contention window and the point of playing the game is going to the playoffs? Had the Sox fallen to 7-8 GB right now, I think selling has some merit. Selling when 3 GB of two teams that are not good doesn't make a single shred of sense.

Did you really expect them to sell when 3 GB of 2 teams that aren't good?

I don't care. I'll take the larger sample. You can focus on whatever fits your narrative, but your narrative is stupid. Vaughn is an awesome bat.

What is status of Luis Robert?
Hopefully a 1 game rehab assignment.

Vaughn has 120 wRC+ against RHP in 2022. Stop with the non sense.

What is status of Luis Robert?
THis is a very good sign. Turns out he isn't dead.

Reynaldo to IL
Woof this pen is in shambles.

Rumor: Sox Pursuing Jose Quintana
I am not married to Burger at all. I would certainly trade him in the right deal. But he's very useful injury insurance and he has another option in 2023. Trading him for 8 Quintana starts doesn't make any sense.

I'd hate just Burger for Q. Gross.

Trade Rumors Catch-all
He is top 10 in the AL in wRC+. Last year Nelson Cruz got the Twins Joe Ryan. The Sox won't trade Abreu, but if they did, they'd definitely get something interesting.

Trade Rumors Catch-all
Happ has hardly played any RF. This definitely feels like a Pollock situation where he'll be just awful in RF. Happ has versatility, but he's frankly not a good defender anywhere, so not sure how much it really helps you. You can stick him in RF and at 2B, but team defense is going to suffer even more at 2B, and probably just more of the same in RF. Not completely opposed to Happ depending on the price, and he certainly helps some lineup balance issues, but he isn't a perfect fit and I am DEFINITELY not giving up Colas for him. I'd rather just stick Colas in RF. I would enjoy a Wendle acquisition.

Smoking some Colas cool-aid
I think we all can agree that this thing really isn't going to be successful until that fucking hag just goes away. The one positive I can gather from the Sox never getting over the hump this season is that hopefully.....please lord.....TLR goes away.

He is supposedly an average CF and should be a solid defender in the corners. He's been playing RF since going to AA but was playing primarily CF in WS.

Smoking some Colas cool-aid
Moncada already has rebounded and Grandal certainly is looking better than he has at any point this season, albeit he isn't exactly smoking the ball. But yeah, I mean very few orgs would bring Colas to the bigs this season. Rushing prospects to the bigs is definitely a "Sox gonna Sox" move, which is what the reference was to. That being said, I tend to agree, and even noted as such in my post, that Colas is probably the best all around option in RF right now in this org. The bar to clear isn't high, and it doesn't require us giving us prospects for a short term fix.
