Opinion, or more like just a guess they hope to get right. Honestly, I think some of these Cubs fan reporters try to bait the Sox into doing something stupid...even though I think the Sox know exactly when they’re coming up. If it’s not this week, I see no point in doing it this year. My hope...4/12/2019

They were just as up in arms over Bryant at the time.

Bait might not be right word, but I do think some of these reporters that are clearly Cubs fans want the Sox to start their clocks now because it’s probably the wrong move right now.

August 6, 20187 yr I think the White Sox and their fans will regret not having the extra year, but if they are going to do it this year, what the hell are they waiting for?

The whole scooping sports trades is the funniest waste of time a grown man or woman can pursue in my opinion. Maybe that was a bit hyperbolic, but I sure don’t care if I know about a trade a half hour before a team announces it, or a day, or whenever. It’s still not official and I’m not rushing to pass on the info The worst part is the props given out. Like “good job and shout out to TwitterGuy65 and Ken Rosenthal for scooping the trade”. Poor Ken Rosenthal. He spends his whole day as this little rat running around looking for cheese that adds up to nothing. What Ken, you told us an hour earlier than it was announced? Or you were used to send out misinformation? Why do we encourage this waste of time with congrats? Am I missing something?

They want to make sure the Sox don't win too many more games. Damn 4 game winning streak came at the worst time. Eloy will just contribute to the Sox losing a better draft pick. Our 1st memories of him shouldn't be helping the Sox win meaningless games and losing draft status. Yes there are good reasons also to bring him up and bad reasons. The only thing that makes me want him up more than keep him down is he just deserves it. He's earned it.
August 6, 20187 yr Levine is creating news to have something to write about during the Dog Days of August.
August 6, 20187 yr Just now, Jose Abreu said: Call Jimenez & Kopech up at the same time then? If so, I’ll be going to a game this weekend for sure.
August 6, 20187 yr Call him up. I mean, in all seriousness, fellas, does 2025 really matter? We're trying to win in 2020. Let the man come up and take his growing pains up here already. If we are dependent on Eloy Jimenez for continued success in 2025, we failed to create sustainable success (think Kansas City). If Eloy comes up and rocks it, awesome. See if we can extend him or retain him in FA come the end of 2024. If he wants to leave, whatever- we'll have Bryce Bush, Steele Walker and our 2020-2021 draft class to keep us winning indefinitely.

I'm going on scouting reports, which say he's bad. I haven't seen enough of him to say if that is actually true or not. Every time I've had an opportunity to catch a Knights game on NBCSNCHI, Eloy has had the night off.

And I don't think the Sox are close to contending in 2020 so I think the question to ask is "Does 2020 really matter?"
