They have picked a lane. They are developing pitching and supporting those pitchers with defense. I believe they are going to lose like 110 games, but at least they have picked a lane.
I think Elias came up in Houston where they gave up crap to get both Verlander and Cole from teams looking to dump payroll. Sox don’t need salary relief, they need players. I bet Cease ends up anywhere but Baltimore.
Straight up swap for Candelario. I actually think he has a chance to be good for the Nats Cincy jerked him around his entire career. Leave him in one spot defensively and give him some AB’s he might surprise.
Morosi isn’t saying he heard something. He’s saying it makes sense. I would argue that a retooling team trying to cut payroll should not try to get the last productive year out of Whit Merrifield for like $10 mil, but this is so White Sox.
