I don't believe you 

No Moncada in the lineup today, and if we've learned anything from watching opponents' lineups the past few days, it means he's being traded.

What have you monsters done?! ?

Half of baseball is being traded due to no guys in the lineup.

Can't bring up Burger without Fry.

Jack, I think you might be in my fantasy league; this guy in our league trades away every good player for a bag of balls once he has like a bad week or two.

I'm not giving up on him. Put up super impressive stats in DSL at 17 years old. Great eye at the plate. Let's see how he does in AZL. 

He's in Kanny now. Aggressive assignment for him so he's not doing well which was probably expected.

Melted cheese fries with onion?

I'm so excited for the Burger, Fry and Colas trio.

Actually he is in Arizona.  Started in Kanny got demoted. 

Didn't @Blackout Friday say to expect something big? What happened to that? Lol

All Balta does is watch daytime soap operas now a days. He's far removed from the MLB at this point. 

Do they even exist any more?

You say they had 5 starters on the IL. Yet, they only have 4.

Chirinos tore his UCL last year so they knew that they were getting nothing from him all year. He may as well not exist in 2021 and doesn't factor into the in season argument debate.

Fleming is totally procedural and a product of the schedule/rest and not an actual concern. This is him skipping a start against a divisional foe in a period of multiple off days after a season he only threw ~50 innings.

Archer is coming off of multiple surgeries. He has been hurt since August of 2019 away from 1 start / 2 games earlier this year. I am sure last year you were defending the Sox because Rodon wasn't able to contribute.

Glasnow is a product of side effects of cheating. They have been missing him for a few weeks. Hardly 75%+ of the season like Eloy/Robert. 

So the Rays have lost Glasnow (probably 3 starts) and a guy who has appeared in 2 games since mid-August 2019.

Sox have lost their best hitter and a reigning Silver Slugger, their best defender who was on a 6 WAR pace, their starting second baseman who was coming into his own and has a lifetime .315 batting average, their 8M right fielder who was one of their better players prior to the injuries, their fourth outfielder who is premium defender and seemingly finding his power stroke, their outfield replacement for the aforementioned injuries and their most effective reliever who may be the best pitcher in the organization. On top of that, Rodon and Lynn have both missed multiple starts, Grandal played April hobbled after basically no spring training, two relievers that would have made the roster haven't pitched all year, etc. 

The Sox have had far more injuries than the Rays whether you have been paying attention enough to understand it or not. 

What would be the White Sox equivalents of McKay and Honeywell missing long stretches?

I'm thinking a deal may be far away because they gave us the positive Eloy and Robert updates.

No I don’t think that’s the reason. I think it’s because they are still negotiating or working out the details.

This thread is worse than some of the media preachers who won't shut their yaps and keep asking for money in exchange for being saved. Maybe I should follow soccer.

Yes, to summarize:

That was the impression I got. I am by no means an insider or whatever. Every now and then I can get tidbits of info, and based on what I was told it sounded like the Sox were being very aggressive. It’s still early so I’m going to stay optimistic.

I've seen a few people say this or something very similar, and I've always wondered where this info is coming from.

Used to work in the industry and stayed in touch with a few people.
