August 31, 20205 yr CANCEL Not Steve Cishek!! This guy has used speculation to guess and happened to have been correct a few times on Sox moves. But this deadline proves he's full of it. Stop sharing his posts.

August 31, 20205 yr All that trade rumor discussion going on was for naught. ? I’m just happy they did trade Dunning or Vaughn, like some seemed to be ok with.
August 31, 20205 yr I think this boosts confidence within the ranks of our roster that the FO trusts them and wants to see what they can accomplish. Super glad they stood pat.
August 31, 20205 yr I'm okay with no moves. If Lynn wasn't traded, Texas was asking too much. It would have been nice to have one more SP, but not if it would have cost too much of the future.

The Marte trade, though, is the one I think that got away. I think we could have beaten that package without too much pain and he would have been a great fix for RF until we can find a long-term option.

If it says the sox are planning to do something people like it's gonna be on here.
August 31, 20205 yr Not too disappointed, future years looking good. Edited August 31, 20205 yr by Soxfest
August 31, 20205 yr Dangling Rodon is a trick that won't work anymore. He might have two more innings in him this season.
August 31, 20205 yr I don't really mind that they didn't trade for Lynn. The move that they missed was Bradley. He would have fit nicely into an 8th inning role (Marshall back to the 7th and Bummer as your "bullpen ace") and could have taken over as closer next year. And they could have acquired him for a prospect or two that we wouldn't have blinked over.

Yeah after seeing that Bummer probably won't pitch again this year, I'm kind of mad we didn't get any bullpen arms.

August 31, 20205 yr I’m all for holding onto all the top young guys- Vaughn, Kopech, Cease, Dunning, 2020 picks, etc... but I feel like there was an opportunity (or 3 or 4) to improve this team’s chances in the playoffs with a minor move or 2 for the bullpen. Wouldn’t have had to give up anyone that factors significantly into the team next year either. But is what it is, not going to get upset. We still have a very young team with a very bright future. And in 1st place now. All is well in the White Sox world right now as far as I’m concerned. Just hope the trigger finger isn’t as stiff in the next year or 2 when a move is needed to be made to be true WS contenders/winners
August 31, 20205 yr I'm sure they tried... but people were asking for pieces we weren't going to give them.
