Yeah, force him to get surgery on that back and hope he comes to ST in 2024 ready to earn his next paycheck. That's all you can do.

Maybe I missed something but who else said something? I saw Burger say he had the most fun he's had playing baseball in a longtime in his first Miami media session, who I assume is 1 of the 2. Who is the other?

Yikes. Maybe (hopefully) a final straw type deal, at least we can pray. An organizational flushing is so badly needed.

Kinda tough with Seby hurt and TA looking at a potentially lengthy suspension. Grandal and Elvis seem safer today than they did on Friday. Plus Lee has done nothing in a few games in AAA.

Fwiw https://twitter.com/dailywhitesox/status/1688351110052864000?s=46&t=ZsD-oMA2yHZYnWZDZsTK_w

Seby to IL. That’ll keep Yaz around for awhile.

Honeywell is not on the active roster yet.

Hey look at the Sox not playing shorthanded! Honeywell hasn’t been added to active roster yet so Sox will need to demote a pitcher tomorrow, or whenever Honeywell is added. Instead of just playing shorthanded until he got here like they usually like to do, called up Ramsey.

Unlikely that .270 OBP and DH defense is going to be the difference maker for them.

There are very limited number of players left that are even worth signing in the current signing period. The vast majority of legit players were many signed months ago. Dodgers clearly have their eye on a particular player, and were short on funds. I'd rather see the Sox spend this money than not. Trading it is dumb. But its August and if the Sox had no one identified at this point, may as well turn it into 2 live arms, one of which looks pretty intriguing.

I mean, haven't all the good players from the 2023 international class already signed? If Sox had no one to sign (or no one was interested in signing, or not enough $ to to sign the decent ones that were left) isn't trading it for 2 live arms better than just not spending it?

DFA Elvis. Call up Sosa. DFA Grandal and call up Lee when he's healthy enough. No reason to pitch Shaw. Not sure who the answer is there, because there is no pitching in AAA really but should be some waiver options. Guess you could run Padilla out there once he's healthy. Call up Perez in September. Not a whole lot more we can do..

Kuechel? Lol, woof. I'd rather run Scholtens and Patino out there.

ABM. Anyone but Minnesota.

Welp. Probably gotta buy him out and reallocate those $13.5M dollars elsewhere.

Man feel like that’s gotta be a Homer in 90% of big league parks

The cult following of Jake from a cohort of the fanbase is something to behold. I get it - super likable dude. It’s just really something. This is a fantastic trade.

Scholtens honestly does deserve a few turns through. He’s earned it, especially consider the state of SP in the org atm.

No one yet. Imagine we see Trayce and Lambert or Padilla tomorrow. Hopefully Elvis and Grandal let go for Sosa and Perez (until Lee is ready) shortly thereafter. Both Sosa and Perez in the AAA lineup tonight so not sure that happens quite yet.

Tough debut for Leasure

I certainly read it that way as well

I love how they just insta-returned TA to leadoff after the Homer. Grifol really is a dope.

Was he a Sox fan as a kid? Thought it was Cards, but he was def a Blackhawks fan. Could be misremembering…not that it really matters

This. Just get Sosa and Perez (and then Lee once healthy) up here and let them play.

2023 is Patino's last option year, fwiw
