The way it’s worded, it sounds like White Sox to me. But perhaps I’m delusional.

He would walk after 2025 anyway. Fine with me.

Seth?

That is not enough if both Crochet and Robert are headed out.

I’ve seen people say Mayer is like Moncada with the injury issues. Not sure how true that is.

That’s not necessarily true. Dominguez has significantly more control and is a lot cheaper. That said I’d rather keep Robert for now.

I feel like Red Sox fans have actually been reasonable regarding Crochet’s value, at least on Twitter. Mets fans are the ones living in a delusional fantasyland thinking they can get him for a bunch of filler prospects.

Appreciate it. I know there’s a decent sized contingent of Sox fans who don’t like me but I just do my thing and want to see the team become successful again like everyone else here.

Think I started here and then went to Twitter after. I still lurk here from time to time, especially in the offseason. Good way to read through rumors all in one place.

Good idea. I should do that.

He’s cheap and has good stuff.

I just don’t understand what they have against him. There must be something going on behind the scenes with him because I feel he is more talented and has more upside than either Fletcher or DeLoach.

Per Jeff Passan.

Not saying they made the right choices but the rotation wasn’t even the issue this past season. They just couldn’t hit. They could have had a rotation of 5 Randy Johnson’s and still wouldn’t have been good because they can’t hit at all.

I was thinking La Russa 3.0 or Mike Matheny.

Who are the candidates to take over the position full time then? I saw Morosi say Gibbons and Fetter. Obviously Schumaker. Anyone else in contention?

Am I the only one who doesn’t hate this? I thought it felt light too. But Vargas is essentially a top 100 prospect. I would have taken him for Fedde all day long when they initially signed him. Kopech and Pham don’t have a ton of value to me so I guess I can live with two lotto tickets for them. I would have liked another prospect or two but I don’t think like this is as bad as everyone else is saying.

He has like 2 years of control left. Why would he serve any purpose to the Sox?

Nastrini has to be the most disappointing prospect of the year so far. Dude just sucks now.

What does any of this have to do with the return in an Erick Fedde trade

This is basically the same thing the Sox did with ReyLo a few years ago. He wasn’t cutting it as a starter, and then improved a lot out of the bullpen. Hopefully Kopech will be the same way so they can trade him for something.

Why not Foscue?

They need help everywhere.

Yep. The only teams with actual 40 man crunches are teams like the Braves and Dodgers. Not the bottom feeding White Sox.
