We have a ~$15M DH/lf option ready to go for them.

BA has a deep dive podcast on the White Sox system that just came out. About a half hour long.

I believe they also have the same birthday (not year) and were A’s draft picks. Pretty wild, really.

Gerrit Cole went to UCLA

Also less than German Marquez. His medicals must be scary.

That’s funny, I had the exact same thought.

They’ll be able to use the 60-day when camp opens on … Wednesday?

Do you even go to games, bro?

Care to share?

I believe 2020 was Shirley’s first year as scouting director, which is why the drafts have upticked considerably. Hostetler was awful.

This lack of self awareness is something else.

NBC sports had it described as follows a couple times. Was hoping they got this detail correct, but maybe a mistake.

I think we’re getting two PTNL as well, and Boston get one?

Frank not being at the 2005 reunion was odd as well.

Haha I know, there’s just so many random names you could get to from it.

This post is pure caulfield bait

It evens it out, sure. I just don’t think the Red Sox are so hard up for cash they need to give up that kind of upside. They still have all that Bregman money laying around unspent.

Nice signing. No real downside and raises the outfield floor a bit from its previous depths of hell.

Yeah I think that’s wishful thinking. I think Wilyer Abreu is more realistic and a better fit anyways.

Are we sure it’s Boston? I could see the Giants making sense.

I didn’t read that as a suggestion he should be. It’s just an impressive tidbit.

Meidroth had more HR’s and BB’s last year than Madrigal has had in his career.

Berman gave a more wholehearted congrats to the Red Sox when our Sox sealed the series. It was pathetic. ESPN can suck a boner.

Unless I’m missing something, your pipeline rankings are off. Shultz is 49, Bonemer is 61, Smith is 72.

I understand and agree with what you say here, but I do think some credit should be given for actually following through with bringing the Sox into the 21st century. It probably would have been pretty easy to stick with the status quo and ride out that sweet, sweet Reinsdorf job security.
