Ehhh I doubt he gets 2/$30 million in the current market

This would be a really poor trade for the White Sox. Hendricks value has increased in the current FA period and the Sox do not have to trade him unless the return makes sense.

I agree Fun idea, but I doubt the Mets are willing to part with Baty that easily. He has quite a bit of value on his own.

Missing out on Machado/Harper/Wheeler is really what screwed the rebuild, coupled with the TLR hire. I was open to the La Russa hire at the time, but the roster has enough issues of its own as well.

Sox are totally the club that will spend $15 million on Benintendi, $7-8 million on Duvall and another few million on pitching depth instead of dropping $25 million on a player that actually makes a difference. It's infuriating.

Highly doubt Benintendi gets a 5 year deal from anyone. I see a 3-4 year deal being possible.

I also thought Frazier could make a decent bit of sense on a one year deal for around $6 million I do not have much faith in this club doing much this offseason

Gallo on a 1/$10 million deal for example really does not do anything for me Fans need to ask themselves if the player repeated their 2022 performance, would we be happy? Hell no. Typical White Sox to rely on a lightning in a bottle if everybody remains healthy and has a resurgent season we can possibly win the central

I agree. I'd put Montgomery's ETA as second half of 2024 at this point unless he has a monster 2023. Ideal pathway would be Birmingham for three months and finish the season at Charlotte, then Charlotte for the first few months next year followed by a call up.

No chance the Sox were coming close to 3/$60 million for Jose given the state of the roster Happy he got paid, but sucks to see him go to Houston

I could see Quintana landing a three year deal for solid money in this market

I'm sure other teams were in on Clevinger, but $12 million seems expensive for a bounce back candidate. Guys like Heaney and Quintana should be licking their chops now.

Agreed Merrifield is not really an upgrade over Harrison at this stage in his career. Royals should have traded him years ago when his value was higher.

Jose Rodriguez has actually been hot after a slow start to the season. His past 22 games: .375 AVG - .406 OBP - .896 OPS. For a 21 year old in AA his numbers are really solid outside of HR.

DSL stats are largely worthless, especially for a 20 year old player facing much younger competition. We will not have a good gauge on him until he plays in the states against more advanced pitching.

I personally would not have

No clue who the Mets would be bidding against

I wanted the Sox to be in on Scherzer, but there is zero chance the club entertains a contract remotely close to what the Mets just did.

Madrigal is one more injury away from his value taking a substantial hit. He broke his wrist in college, had shoulder surgery in 2020, and now hamstring surgery in 2021. At what point do you label a player as being really injury prone? Sox were wise to trade him while his value is still up.

^ Collins absolutely becomes an all star if dealt to another organization. Mark it down.

The secret in Milwaukee was to enter through the gate near the 1B foul pole. Barely any line for all three games

My vote is to cut bait with Rutherford A 69 wRC+ in AAA at age 24 is not going to be missed by the organization. He never developed the pop or hit tool he was supposed to.

Jimenez being made of glass really sucks Constantly is dealing with injuries

Who was suggesting to deal Burger for a rental? He's a trade chip for sure, but much more likely in an offseason deal for a player that could help them in 2022 and beyond.

I think the Sox still look to add another pen arm
