Lackey seems to have a lot of helium of late. If they truly think he can handle CF, it becomes an interesting debate.

I keep circling back to Yennier Cano. Having a really good season and has 2.5 years of control. Wonder what it’d take to get him.

Would be funny if they took Landon Thome and Joseph Contreras in the 2nd and 3rd rounds or vice versa.

7 K’s in 4 innings is nice to see from Sandlin.

Just a terrible game all around. Bad execution, bad managing, bad umpiring.

Competitive game until Hicks blew it. Guy is one of the worst relievers I’ve ever seen on the Sox and that’s saying something. Sandlin better be good.

Antonacci isn’t playing the field in the 9th, but he might have been replaced for defense anyway so I’m not sure it has anything to do with him being hurt.

That I agree with. I wouldn’t go all-in this year or part with any of their top prospects. But if they can use some of their expendable guys (Jacob Gonzalez, Bergolla, etc) to fill needs on the MLB roster, I’d do that. Certainly wouldn’t move guys like Bonemer or Carlson. At least not yet.

This is very hyperbolic. Contending teams typically buy at the deadline. And the Brewers and Rays have never won a World Series as far as that goes.

They should absolutely buy, ideally guys who aren’t rentals. Sandy Alcantara, Garrett Whitlock, Yennier Cano come to mind for me.

I’d like Teel back for the Cubs series but that’s probably too soon given how much time he missed. They need to make sure he is in the swing of things again before he gets called up.

I’m intrigued with Davis. Seems like he could be a fast mover too.

It is embarrassing but also a big deal. Assuming that report is legit, it’s noteworthy that Jerry would even be willing to give $100 million to him.

In all honesty, Hagen probably needs more time to figure out his command issues in the minors. I’m just tired of seeing Kay in the starting rotation. Ideally they move him into the Bido role sooner rather than later and call up one of the kids to replace him. Maybe they give David Sandlin a chance if he strings together a couple good starts in a row in AAA.

Shane Smith only went 2 innings. Is he hurt? Or coming back to replace Kay in the rotation?

If they don’t take Roch for whatever reason, he should be the pick.

These broadcasts are getting increasingly shameless. Stone and Schriffen hyping up Peters and saying he’s a good player. Give me a break.

Kay seems like a bust of a signing. He can’t put anyone away.

I think it’s because the Nationals are using a lefty as their opener.

Is Hicks hurt? Why did he only get 1 out with the way this game is trending?

Bido is going to be a crazy pull on the 2026 White Sox sporcle in 10 years.

If Ishbia wasn’t in the equation, I would have zero hope that Murakami is here for the long haul. We’ll have to see how it plays out.

I would be really disappointed if Murakami decided to ride Ohtani’s coattails. Too many other players have already done that. He can be the face of the team here. Hopefully that means something to him.

Ishbia would likely be on the hook for the vast majority of a hypothetical Murakami extension anyway. If Jerry refuses to sign off on that, then we are doomed anyway.

Trading him would kill any chance of them signing a player from Japan ever again. They need to pay him and keep him around.
