TREVOR BAUER SIGNING WITH THE SOX CONFIRMED

If it was a normal end of year press conference I don’t think it would have taken this long for them to do it.

Cooper retiring maybe?

“We are coming to you from the city beautiful Chicago, Illinois...” I miss that so much.

"They got that procedure down like rotisserie chicken" - Hawk Harrelson

This is a dumb question but are rosters going back down to 25 next season or will they stay at 26? Trying to work on my offseason plan for the Sox.

I would love that. He’s coming off a rough season but I’d absolutely take him over Mazara. Give him a one year prove it deal and stick him in RF in 2021.

Tim Anderson already has the catching position locked up, sorry

If only this was real...

I’m no doctor, but if he needed Tommy John, wouldn’t they have been able to determine that by now?

If the Sox were going to trade for any Phillies player, it should be Zack Wheeler. Pitching is the biggest need and Wheeler is obviously significantly cheaper than Harper.

I don’t like that either of them would bring their stained reputation to the Sox, but they are both far superior managers than Ricky and it’s not really all that close either.

Doesn’t Harper have a no trade clause anyway?

Brantley just seems like one of those guys who had a great career but forgets how to play baseball after they sign with the White Sox.

Obviously I want Bauer, but that is a bidding war I don’t expect the Sox to win. So give me Stroman, Quintana, a decent right fielder, and a closer and I’ll be happy. I’d love for Colome to come back.

Giolito/Keuchel/Stroman at the top isn’t bad at all. I’d also like Quintana back on a one year deal as an insurance policy.

Foster should have come into the game after Crochet got hurt. Like you said, he still might have been able to throw strikes but at least there wasn’t anyone on base at that point. But it’s all water under the bridge now.

Exactly. Everyone being angry about pulling Dunning is just revisionist history. I’m probably Ricky’s biggest critic but I don’t blame him that much for yesterday. Crochet getting hurt pretty much ruined the plan. The only things I blame Renteria for is using Bummer too early and putting Foster into that bases loaded situation.

I’ll take any scenario that doesn’t result in Tommy John surgery. I just want him to be healthy for next season.

I’m just praying Crochet is ok

I’d rather face Fiers than Montas, even though historically the Sox have been awful against Fiers.

I have a lot more faith in McCann than Encarnacion, even though James has been struggling. EE should absolutely NOT be in the lineup today. I’d also go with Mazara over Leury, as crazy as that sounds.

How would you guys approach tomorrow? Do you think Dunning should start or should it be a bullpen game? I’m curious to see the opinions on this

Just throw this game away and look towards tomorrow. I have no idea who will start though. Dunning maybe?

Anderson SS Moncada 3B Grandal C Abreu 1B Jimenez DH Robert CF Engel LF Mazara RF Madrigal 2B That’s my lineup for tomorrow.
