Seattle Gets: Cease
Chicago Gets: Young, Peete, Farmelo
Thoughts?

I’d rather see Julian Phillips out there for the Bulls than Patrick Williams. I’m curious if the Bulls will package Williams with Lavine to sweeten their return

It's not all on Parker. Their WR are not good vs man coverage and Hartman has been less than advertised. Also the RB have been awful on blitz pickup. I think you have trouble getting a quality guy to come if you're pulling the trigger on the current guy after one season.
Maybe they do but it’s ND, they should be able to get whoever Freeman wants. Maybe since Swarbrick is gone, the new AD will be more willing to spend on coaches.
I agree on Hartman and the WRs. The main WRs are mostly freshman, so I expect them to be better going forward.

.... it's almost like I'm reading Andrew Vaughn's profile when he was in college all over again.
I think that’s insulting to Nick Kurtz

I'm not interested in taking a 1B in the top five.
I’m thinking of it like this, you’re drafting an elite, game changing bat (that just happens to play first base), not a first baseman per se. The comp on him is Yordan Alvarez. You’d take him 1-1. Yeah, he may not offer much positional value (although he can play the OF too) but he has the makings of a superstar at the plate.
Plus, he does all the things the Sox are bad at an elite level for a college player. I’m talking not just bat to ball skills and power but swing decisions and pitch recognition.

I'm very curious to see how ND handles Gerad Parker and if the school admin will finally allow Marcus Freeman to hire who he wants. They balked at the buyout of the guy he wanted prior to this season. If they had a better OC, they're probably knocking on the door of being a playoff team.

Get the top pick and draft Nick Kurtz. That will solve a lot.
-
Getz might be good at this after all.
-
The Sox are very lucky that Bennetti didn’t sue them and Brooks Boyer.

Connor McKnight is who I’m pulling for.

This would be a really solid start imo if they had a different manager and maybe a different bench coach.

I would have rather given Vogt a shot too.
I think he’s going to be a good manager. He’s in the perfect spot.

He might’ve been a scapegoat but the Giants fired Kapler, a winning manager. The Cubs just fired David Ross, a winning manager. The Mets fired Buck Showalter, a winning manager.
And the Sox won’t fire Grifol. Make it make sense.

It may be lip service but Pole's backing of Eberflus is very concerning. The refusal to acknowledge that there is a culture issue is maddening.
Pole hired Eberflus and he signed off on all the assistant coaches that were brought on. Poles also continues to burn draft capital and doesn't want to retain good, young players.
He has to go.

I love calling this the typical KW pick because pre draft this board was apoplectic about possibly going Abrams over Vaughn because Abram’s was just a typical KW “athlete” pick.
I was all for Abrams back then. The Sox desperately need athletes and up the middle guys in their system. That was true then, it’s true now.

It’s true. He wasn’t even “blocked,” in the sense that there was no need to force the issue. They just didn’t have anything resembling an OFer in the system and refused to pay to acquire one. So they decided it made more sense to compromise the development of their #3 overall pick and best prospect. Lol
Ever since Courtney Hawkins they have kinda neglected OFers in the draft. Which is a huge reason why RF has continued to be a long term black hole for them.

I feel like the same thing will be said about the 2023 draft.
I don’t know about that since that was a mid round pick. The Sox had the fourth and third overall picks in both 2018 and 2019 respectively, and they bombed both picks.
Missing on the 15th overall pick is more understandable.
-
I just don’t think Vaughn is very good but I do agree with this and I’ve been saying it for some time, the 2018 and the 2019 drafts are a big reason why the Sox are in the position they find themselves in now.

I’m sure the Angels bad track record of drafting and signing pitchers didn’t help, not a lot of quality arms in the system but I’m sure that this was approved by Brian Bannister, which is good enough for me. Plus it’s an external hire.

I hope this guy falls to the Sox. Yes, it’s not a premium position guy but he can do three premium things. He can hit, he can get on base and he can hit the ball out of the park with regularity.-

I really hope the Sox take a page from the Cubs and focus on defense and game calling when it comes to the catching position going forward. The Cubs signed both Yan Gomes and Tucker Barnhart for a very good defensive catching platoon. This method is a good way to help develop young pitchers. It’s cost friendly as I don’t think a team should spend big money on C’s unless it’s a superstar type player (Posey, Realmuto) or a home grown star (Sal Perez). I think it’s also a good way to steal wins as it also helps a team’s defense. With that being I hope the Sox sign Victor Caratini and Austin Hedges.

LOL. 0 shot the Rangers trade Wyatt Langford. That would be like the Orioles trading Jackson Holiday. Get that idea out of your heads now.
I doubt they will but championships make teams do stupid things. Look at the Cubs trading both Gleyber and Eloy for Chapman and Quintana.
-
My dream scenario is that the Rangers get desperate for a ring/another ring, and they trade the Sox Wyatt Langford in exchange for Cease and pieces.

Have the Hahn footmen Jeremy Haber and Nick "Steele" Hostetler been sent on their way?
I think the Gene Watson hire, means that Hostetler is out. Especially with the way that Reinsdorf spoke about him during his presser.

White Sox sign Martin Maldonado 1 year/4 million, vesting option for 2025

There’s younger options out there who better defensively and who at worth a multi year deal.
