Future performance clearly favors the White Sox for the trade, but there are some here who would argue the WS title trumps other arguments. Waiting for someone to post a Tatis Jr. for Geoff Blum trade would have been worth it, because "Flags Fly Forever"! Geoff was definitely worth Ryan Meaux, the player the Sox sent to, wait for it, the San Diego Padres at the 2005 trade deadline. People were saying the Eaton trade was worth it for Washington since they won the WS and Eaton had a good WS performance (with a 1.5 bWAR season, his best with Washington). They also said his WS performance was a good reason for Eaton's White Sox signing in December. Hope it works out, will take the season and whether he is picked up for his option to determine the net result.

Dunning ain't here any more, and this is what this roster is, for better or worse. 35 minutes ago, tray said: Not even Katz could help him. Let's pump the brakes on deeming Katz a miracle worker for just a minute. Katz couldn't "fix" Fulmer, and the results remain to be seen with Cease. Ugh, why didn't they sign another SP this offseason? The bullpen looks like it'll be NAILS, even without seeing much of Hendriks so far.

The Sox were entering a rebuild and Adam Eaton, an “above-average” outfielder, was traded for what turned out to be one of the Cy Young favorites of 2021 who’s 26 years olds. I don’t really care what Eaton did in Washington. The Sox, or any team does that trade every day of the week, twice on Sundays.

March 23, 20214 yr 39 minutes ago, ScooterMcGee said: Fulmer? When did Katz work with Fulmer? During the 2019-2020 offseason, Fulmer went to work with Katz, after Katz had helped to turn around Giolito.

Agree don’t remember Katz working with fulmer, but it doesn’t matter because no pitching coach can fix him anyway. Fulmer is an albatross cat getting 9 lives because he has some great spin rate. Who cares if you can’t throw a strike.

March 23, 20214 yr Fulmer worked with Driveline, who Katz is not associated with. https://theathletic.com/822743/2019/02/19/why-carson-fulmer-trained-at-driveline-this-offseason-to-reclaim-his-college-dominance/
March 23, 20214 yr Could never figure Lopez out. Seemed to have the potential to be at least a consistent starting pitcher. Don't feel like bashing him. He was frustrating to watch more than anyone else. Perhaps he can catch on with someone else and figure it out. But it is not happening right now.
March 23, 20214 yr I’ll give Lopez credit for being pretty durable and he actually had a 2018 season we can only pray Cease could match this season. Hopefully he gets his act together and maybe another team will want him.
March 23, 20214 yr I guess we put Lopez on the already full scrap heap of shoulda, woulda & coulda have We seem collect this class of players
