If anything, I think Ross Stripling is a better fit for the Sox than Pederson is at this point. I'd love to see the Sox swing a deal for him and make him the swingman/spot starter.

That Cishek guy has been right about stuff related to the Sox this offseason...it’s not like he’s that MLBIntel fraud

I don’t see Theo dealing with the Sox any time soon considering we absolutely fleeced them in the Quintana trade.

So they basically got another 2nd round pick for just money. Sounds like a nice deal then. It’s always a good thing to add another young arm with upside into the system.

Does anyone know if this guy is any good?

Ah I see. I’m kinda surprised by that seeing as he isn’t a free agent until after the 2024 season.

Where did you see this?

Absolutely. I'm now much more convinced that the trade will happen now than I was before.

Then they can use Madrigal as the headliner to get a guy like Blake Snell.

Because they actually are trading for Arenado and they don't want Twitter to kill the trade

Gotta give the guy credit, he's full of shit but he's sticking to his guns.

???

I’m like 99.9999999% sure this is fake anyway, but I wouldn’t be opposed to it if Arenado waived his opt-out or if the Sox got him for virtually nothing...but I doubt either of those things would ever happen.

Faker than Kim Kardashian’s booty

I don't really understand all the outrage over not getting Pederson. Yeah he's better than Mazara, but he's only a 1 year rental. And it's not like Hahn could have foreseen that Pederson would be traded for next to nothing in February. I'm not Hahn's biggest fan by any means but I don't see this as something worth being that upset about.

What a massive overreaction.

White Sox should get Alex Verdugo imo

Same here. His stats were pretty good in 2019 and he still has a lot of team control.

Sox should make a trade for Jarlin Garcia who was DFAed by the Marlins.

To be fair, the Sox determined that Grandal was their guy and they did what it took to get him right off the bat this offseason. They also had the highest offer for Wheeler. Now I agree that 125 mil and 350 mil are totally different, but I'm not going to say that the Sox have no chance at Betts...especially if 2020 is a successful year like we're all hoping for. If they think he's the final piece, who knows what could happen.

I'm pretty sure the Sox can afford to extend Moncada and sign Betts as a free agent next offseason.

Imagine if the Sox extended Moncada AND signed Betts? This team would be World Series contenders for pretty much the entire decade. My goodness.

You mean you're not interested in talking about trading 24 year old Yoan Moncada who isn't a free agent until after the 2023 season? How dare you!
