Yeah where was this.

Tis the season.

I would prefer not to remember "bad bullpens of White sox past" thank you.

I think "in the NL Central" was the keyword. I would still have the Cardinals as favorites. Brewers always seem like a pitching injury away from the season being fucked.

They don't have anyone more interesting they can play? Not even like a DFA claim?

Damn lol that's what I get for texting and walking through a mall for a last minute Christmas gift.

If he gets moved, I don’t see it being to the Mets. Although Baty is pretty expendable now…

Yeah use the money saved towards a 4th OF and another middle reliever.

Idk. I don’t think he’s going to get moved.

Yeah you would think it would be a minor league deal with opt out date of around when he is likely to come back.

No

Sosa could def use some time in the minors and Romy seems more like a utility player.

Ben in 10D

Right. I have a feeling they don’t end up trading him. They want him. However, if he’s traded it needs to feel like an overpay. So my prediction is he stays.

How dare you. It’s called Festivus.

@ptatc It looks like he hasn't signed on since August. Hope all is well with him.

Get him on a one year deal then ?

Yeah I'm not really concerned about power only players as hopefully improved health around the diamond and new coaches helps the guys already here. Just get good players.

I'm not sure if I'd say "slightly better."

I would guess the lineup looks like this as of right now: 1. Anderson SS 2. Benintendi LF 3. Robert CF 4. Eloy DH 5. Moncada 3B 6. Vaughn 1B 7. Grandal C 8. Sheets (or/and then after 3 weeks, Colas) RF 9. Romy I wanted to put Vaughn in from of Moncada here but figured you probably need to break up the righties (Robert, Eloy, Vaughn) and lefties (Moncada, Grandal, Colas). Also didn't want to pencil in Moncada in the #2 spot as, to me anyway, he has to earn his way up. I put him 5th kind of by default but you're right, if we don't add another left-handed bat and Moncada and Grandal don't bounce back, it gets scary.

The guy in the MLBTR chat yesterday predicted 2/$15M for Segura. I would hope that we would be able to add that if that's all he signed for. I would rather add now than try to make a trade for a need mid-season. I wish they could convince Jerry that if they spend a little more, they will be a better team and fans will want to come to the ballpark and spend money.

Baty, Peterson, Parada, Escobar (Sox pay all of this and he plays 2B) for Hendriks? A Hendriks trade actually makes his luxury tax number lesser.

I’m on the Segura train. Think he’s a good fit for the Dodgers and Red Sox too though.

Being 23, I guess you can put him in AAA to start the year. Not like he set the world on fire in the majors last year. I know that doesn’t help the ‘23 roster (unless injuries force his way up) but maybe you also grab David Peterson in a deal who is a lefty and has options. Like I said this morning, I don’t think there’s really a fit unless the Sox are good taking guys who don’t really help much this season.

Yeah I look at their roster and it looks pretty flawed for what they have spent.
