They still have a 2-3 year window, which gets longer if they extend Soto

I know he's hurt, but having two of the best 23 year olds ever in Tatis and Soto in the middle of that lineup is sick. Not to mention Manny.

Good for San Diego. Who knows if it works out, but they're 100% in. Can't say the same for the team we root for

Probably Elijah Tatis

30 BB in 38 IP, I'm sure Sox fans are just going to fall in love with him.

They don't seem to have much interest in playing Grandal at C on a regular basis, I know Reese was getting a lot of run behind the plate, but it's not like it's an earth-shattering move anyway.

That's...weird?

Just a hilarious quote from Kenny when Machado signed in San Diego.

I’m always amazed this site is free. With this kind of scouting report, I don’t know we aren’t charging for this kind of spot-on analysis.

Helps distract fans from the sub-par product they usually put on the field.

You better stay out of White Sox Business.

Still one of the most amazing sports stats of all-time. Maybe ever.

Who cares. There is no credit given for simply making an effort. (not a knock on the story itself or @southsider2k5)

I heard Law probably 3 weeks ago on with Waddle and Silvy and he made a quick comment on Colson saying "The White Sox probably wouldn't move him at the deadline as he looks like he has the makings of a star." which seemed surprising to me at the time, coming from him.

narrative?

So then if they were to have acquired Castillo, who is going in the bullpen?

Given his innings, probably Kopech

Don't let facts get in the way of a @caulfield12 fiction novel

@ptatc didn’t you tell us in April to check back with you in August to see if Rodon was still going strong? Thoughts?

Honestly have no idea, but you have to think fairly costly if Rodon is truly on the block I also wonder how Rodon would feel about coming back. There was talk while he was here about a lack of motivation, being out of shape, etc. Obviously things have changed and he’s still in line for one more big contract, but clearly there is a layer of personal feelings that come into play…I’m curious if he would want to come back? Would you be getting an upset Rodon? I have no idea, but something to wonder

Rodon makes all the sense in the world, which of course why it’s so frustrating how this offseason went down.

I truly don’t think you can take the PR hit on that one. It will look so so bad

The Sox clearly don’t value OF defense in the least. If you’re looking at it from the perspective of who you think the Sox will acquire and not who YOU prefer, you can throw defense out the window

Or option three…build a team that is at the top of the heap year in and year out. You have brought up the Braves in your defense of the White Sox, multiple times, but fail to mention a team like the Astros, that have built a team that has appeared in the last 5 American League Championship series. They aren’t relying on just “luck” or “getting hot”…they have a well run, talented organization, and the results speak for themselves.

I haven’t been to the park since before COVID. Have no interest in going anytime soon. It’s not even that I don’t want to give me money to the team, I just have no desire or interest to go watch the team play. I haven’t watched a full game in literally months. I’m always checking what’s going on from a day to day basis, but they have given me no reason to commit and time or real attention to them.
