Sox were just kind of used as an example of a team he could try this with, not that there was actual interest fwiw.

If he sucks as a starter, they can at least stick him back in the pen where he had success in 2024.

Soroka signed with the Nats to be a SP for $9M. Def too steep of a price for our Sox. https://www.mlbtraderumors.com/2024/12/nationals-to-sign-michael-soroka.html

We traded Fedde and Crochet? We won 41 games with Fedde being here until end of July and Crochet was here all year (granted, had a reduced workload the second half).

Amounts for each team. https://www.baseballamerica.com/stories/2025-international-signing-bonus-pools-for-each-mlb-team/ Sox have $6,261,600 and have about $2M committed to Cuban infielder Alejandro Cruz, per Jimmy.

To be fair, it’s more likely that no one they trade Robert for does.

Here's to you, Chuckie Robinson.

We hardly knew ye

How is his defense? Looks like he definitely knows how to draw walks.

Yes. Last year he played the second most games of his career in 4 full seasons and it was 100 games.

It looks like it is. Edit: gotta be the Chuckster right?

Who? https://www.mlbtraderumors.com/2024/12/white-sox-to-sign-bryse-wilson.html

Don't think he was being serious. Took the opportunity to take a jab at the pathetic Soxfest player attendance.

Same

Under easily

I think the argument he’s making is that the team’s pitching dropped off farther than other teams, but I feel like that is tough to say since the talent has also been lacking the last couple of years.

Yeah I think so too. Both made it to AAA and you want both to be getting regular time behind the plate. Tough to do when they’re both there. Unless you are literally alternating between C/DH every day.

Good bye Chuckie (probably)

Agreed and from memory, he’s below average at 3B and has seen a little 2B. Not sure he’s really an option. Would also free them up to use Nico as a trade piece.

Yeah I don’t actually trust that account.

All. The. Catchers.

But the Cubs mostly fill their stadium every game. They should be spending more being the top team in one of the biggest markets.

They definitely wanted him to opt out, that's for sure.

Agreed. I feel like there was room at 1B with him Busch at DH. But then you'd have to move either Happ or Suzuki, who I think both have full no-trade clauses.
