lol wat?

I think Yoan has made it pretty clear he is quite fragile, in a number of ways. He's a good 3B and a well above average player. Just leave him alone. Some guys can be used all over, some can't. We don't know that he can't, but he strikes me as a guy that should just be left alone. He's already been moved from 2B to 3B and hasn't made an appearance elsewhere since, so I wouldn't expect that to change any time soon.

Is it really the Sox place to just PPD a playable game because they're banged up? Like do they even have the authority to do that?

Looks like Sox just didn't want to play today. 15% chance of rain all night.

Is the home team solely in control of when the make-up is scheduled if a team returns later in the year. IE - are we sure this was solely the Sox decision, and not one that they have to get OK'd by MN?

Lame, wanted to watch baseball tonight.

Booooooo to whoever made yesterday's game thread.

Trading away even just a role-player with 6+ years of cheap control is a bad trade for an average player with 3 months control. Pretty much any player that is going to produce something at the major league level that has that much control is worth more than Escobar. Burger is already pretty close and at this point, barring another catastrophic injury, is going to be a big leaguer. Now you have to give to get, but to me, this seems much more like a trade that you give up something that is much further from the big leagues and has a much higher chance of never making it. I certainly wouldn't be beside myself if the Sox traded Burger for Escobar, but I don't think it should require that. Don't blame AZ for starting there, tho.

I'd certainly rather watch Adolfo than Gonzalez. Gonzalez can at least play a respectable OF which is my assumption as to why he was the one. I don't think Micker is much of a defender. Offensively tho, at least Micker could run into some, which is something this lineup needs considering the current state of the OF.

Ahh

I don't believe there is a double header tomorrow.

He has a 22 option. But yeah, he could be a FA.

Calhoun is on the IL, and would be a very underwhelming RF for 2022. Sure he helps right now (if/when healthy), but if you're going to get an OF that will stay beyond 2021, I sure hope they aim higher than Calhoun. Escobar is a great stop gap. We need some professional hitters in the lineup. I too don't want to give up anything of value for 3 months of an average player. But its going to require something.

The Sox don't need anything but a rental. The Sox lineup is full for 2022 except RF, which Escobar is not.

Yeah. I'm a Micker fan, and I know it will happen. At this point, there just isn't time. But I do believe he's going to be someone who has some MLB success as a corner OF/DH home run masher.

Got to give to get and Adolfo likely just doesn't have enough time to figure it out with the Sox. But watch....he'll hit15-20 2nd half bombs with the DBacks if that trade goes down.

Can I interest you in a Seby Zavala instead? ?

Not sure. 5 weeks to figure that out. A lot can happen in that time.

I think he'll be starting games every 5th day in August and September. Not exactly sure what they're going to do with him in the meantime. Bullpen for a few weeks in normal role, and then start to stretch out into longer multi inning outings before taking his spot in the rotation?

Probably worth it. He needs a blow regardless of the knee.

I think it’s common knowledge the Sox are interested. I am sure Boobs comment wasn’t baseless. He is a hack tho

Shelly Duncan. Not sure why tho

Should definitely be Lambert in a 7-1 game.

lol of course it matters. Arizona is not r isking an injury to their trade bait in a game that doesn’t matter to them if they are on the 11th hour of a deal involving him. This is common sense man. Doesnt mean Escobar won’t be a White Sox tonight, Tomorrow or next week. But if a trade was agreed to or very close, he would not be playing.

I really don’t understand if he’s not out there for the 6th and 7th. Should be out there now in a 7-1 game.
