All the Vaughn trade talk 0n here was ridiculous. Hahn wasn’t going to trade another potential great hitter after the Tatis debacle. I think he signs an extension before game one. Hope it happens

Once again VAUGHN WILL NOT BE TRADED. He will be extended before he traded. End of discussion

don't forget about the Blackhole in right field.

i'm waiting for the first lets trade Vaughn and Madrigal for Price post, lol.

I have been been saying that for 6 months and got laughed at. I predict he will get a Robert like extension before spring training. I hope so and then madrigal after that.

ha I was thinking of a snappy comeback but your was better. good stuff

That is not going to happen. if he is not up opening day he will be up the first minute after his service time kicks in And I wouldn't be surprised if he gets a long term deal like Eloy and Robert. That is my prediction

considering our DH position hit like .156 last year .250 will be a godsend.

i heard part of the deal was he has to button up his jersey and not look like he is in disco.

Agree. its like some are out for blood for any move even if means trading away our best young talent. idiotic if you ask me. 230 career hitters who can't hit a lefty to save his soul is not something we should be whining about. And why would Peterson sign with us to platoon when he can sign with a team where he plays everyday. Smart on his part

230 career hitter good? Can't hit a lefty to save his life. Hardly good imo.

love it.

Why do you say fans are pissed? I think that is an exaggeration

I’ll say it again. MADRIGAL IS NOT GETTING TRADED. NEITHER IS VAUGHN. All those rumors are created by people on this site. If you ever read MLB rumors never once has it been mentioned that Madrigal is possibly on the trading block. Nor with Vaughn. NEVER

MLB.com just did a nice write up on top first baseman in minors. Vaughn according them looks like a can't miss prospect from what I read and a clear number 1 on the list. Again I will take my chances with him and madrigal and wait to the all-star break to get a 4th- 5th starter if we need one. It makes all the sense in the world to go with Kopech, Cease,Lopez, Steiver, Lambert, Crochet( if he's not in the pen ) until the break and then if needed then go out and get someone. Should be bargains a plenty if we need to go that route. At least give Katz a chance to unlock something in these guys. Rather do that then start trading away our top prospects now,

No source like most here. just using common sense. Do you think we are going to trade our most recent 3-4 picks away? There is reason we have drafted pitching that high the last 2 drafts. it's because we don't want to pay a high salary to a pitcher and we don't want to trade away promising players like Vaughn and Madrigal away for pitching. I don't think we would draft a short right handed first baseman and a short contact only hitter that high if they didn't love them and they didn't fit into the projected lineup. Now if someone said we are trading some young pitching away like Dalquest or Thompson etc ain a package for a proven cost controlled starter I would believe that for sure because it makes sense. Madrigal and Vaughn doesn't at least to me.

Don't forget he had a bad shoulder to boot. HE WILL NOT BE TRADED and the Sox have no interest in trading him. They drafted him that high for a reason and by all accounts he was the guy they wanted badly. And judging by what he did in the minors and majors he solidified there thinking. He will be a very good solid player for us for years to come and it wouldn't surprise me if he won a batting title down the road. To me he fits in perfect with our lineup with flexibility to hit at the top or bottom of the order. it's crazy talk about him or Vaughn getting traded. I swear some here just want a trade just for a trade. Crazy talk imo.

This site has been shopping Madrigal. Why I don't know. The White Sox have not.

Good point. And our DH position hit like .153 last year so it's not like he needs to hit 340 like madrigal to be a vast upgrade from 2020 production. I will go a step further and wouldn't be surprised the Sox lock him up on a long term deal like Eloy and Robert. A stretch yes but would not shock me at all.

Totally disagree. Some guys are just ready and pure hitters and Vaughn is one of them. He will starting DH. Bank on it.

i'm sorry he only hit 340 with a bum shoulder.

Musgrove = yawn. Sign Q and all will be well.

I meant 2022. sorry

not sure but he did play road games.

He was a GREAT defensive player in college and I see know reason why he can't be a great defensive player in the pro's. See Moncada and Abreu as players who improved defensively. And yes the trade talk is insane.
