But some people think we should trade Madrigal because Mendick is the 2B of the future. ?? I like Mendick - he’s a useful guy to have around. But that take is so bad.

40 is the baseline too. Wouldn’t shock me in the least to see Eloy hot 60 bombs in a full healthy season down the road.

No thanks

Neither, for Lynn.

Likely, but he shouldn’t be.

I don’t want to trade Dunning. But I would trade Dunning so fast in a deal for Clevinger. Not a soul in Soxland should have a problem with that. Kopech is one that is painful, and would require more thought. But I think you definitely have to do it for Clevinger.

I mean they got 2 solid prospects from a super deep Padres org for Mitch Moreland. That’s a pretty big win.

Ahh, thought that was yesterday.

Pretty nice return for Red Sox on Mitch Moreland.

Maybe they bring back Rodon to piggy back Reynaldo. Sounds like he’s getting closer.

Adolfo is not out of options.

Disagree. Mendick has been good but he’s more likely to be out of the league in three years than he is the White Sox starting 2B.

Still think my group of players I am willing to move is Stiever, Collins, Rutherford, and other lower level prospects. Really not at all interested in trading Madrigal, Vaughn, Kopech, Dunning, etc. If someone like Reynaldo, I’d be fine moving on at this point as well. I realize that very may not get us Lance Lynn and certainly no one better. That’s fine. This is just the beginning and all of those guys are pieces of this puzzle moving forward. Just don’t feel like right now is right time short of acquiring a big time cost controlled asset. Id be more than fine with something like Ray and Phelps.

I’d rather give up nothing for Robby Ray than mortgage the future for Lynn or Marco fuckin’ Gonzalez.

Seriously? Kopech and Madrigal and more for Gonzales and a negative value contract? Grosssss

Huh? I’m saying Grandal should be in the lineup more, not less.

Feels like forever ago. So much fun. Can’t believe people actually thought and some still wish MLB just cancelled the season. This is so good for our boys. Will pay major benefits in 21-26 window. This is what all that losing baseball was for, and this is just the very beginning. Feels good.

Yeah, I don’t pay any attention. Lol. Playing Grandal 4-games 5 a week is super dumb. He needs to be the 1B or DH most days he isn’t catching.

Grandal just plays 1B instead of DH (shift Abreu to DH) when McCann catches and its not a problem. But Ricky seems intent on Grandal only playing 4-5 games a week, which is super fuc*ing dumb, but its Renteria so not surprising.

Was just about to post the same.

That's good then, I guess. Dyson is an elite defender and speedster, so I guess he's not terrible to have around to replace Eloy in LF in 9th innings if Engel is playing RF. Also as a pinch runner in extras.

Probably a better use of a roster spot than Luis Gonzalez. But hopefully we didn't just trade away dollars we could use for Colas/Cespedes.

INTL bonus pool money per Heyman.

What is the status of the current bonus pool money? Is this a situation of the Sox trading away dollars they effectively couldn't use, or is this them trading away dollars that could be used for Colas and/or Cespedes?

INTL bonus pool money going to PIT.
