If Kopech’s knee discomfort is going to limit him, not seeing a very realistic path to chasing down two teams now that seem to have the White Sox number at least in the early season…
June 20, 20223 yr I've seen his name floated out there on the interwebs, but Miami isn't gonna trade Jazz Chisolm are they? I know Miami is perpetually rebuilding it feels like, but he's a 24 year old left handed 2nd baseman with power and speed. He owns a .900+ OPS vs RHP which the Sox could really use. The random website that floated out his name as a target suggested Eloy for Jazz. I think it'd definitely have to be Eloy+, but I'd make that trade. I'm not ready to give up on Moncada, and Burger looks like a guy who should be the everyday DH. That means, until Abreu retires, Vaughn is I'm the outfield with Robert and Pollock.

Even if they were trying to, I don't think we have the trade capital.

His contract appears big to the Sox and Sox fans, but is quite reasonable for a team willing to pay money to players. I certainly rather pay Moncada $66M over the next three years (or $46M over two + buyout) than pay $18M-$19M per season to mid 30s Grandal, Keuchel and Lynn. Baseball revenue will continue to rise, and there are no inflation clauses in the contracts. The contracts that are problematic are those for players in their 30s for top dollar and several years. Contracts like Strasburg, Corbin, Rendon, Pujols, etc. Edited June 20, 20223 yr by South Side Hit Men

Urshela and Garlick at 30 are the two oldest Twins’ position players. For the Guardians, Maile (backup catcher) is 31 and Jose Ramirez turning 30 before the end of the season.

June 20, 20223 yr A couple solid relievers and a lefty stick that can cover 2B and LF/RF would be ideal. I don't think this team has earned a big splash.
June 20, 20223 yr How far has Eloy fallen when people think it would take him AND THEN SOME to acquire Jazz Chisholm.

There's no way they are extending Soto into the $375 million range with JR still the owner, either. I'd do that trade in a heart beat.

June 23, 20223 yr Author Willie Calhoun is not a good player, but who knows what the Giants will turn him into

June 23, 20223 yr I'll add Calhoun is a prime Giants-convert success story offensively. He's always had great underlying numbers, but something about his production didn't mesh with his skill-set. If any team can maximize those offensive tools, it's the Giants but still. Calhoun has no position.
June 24, 20223 yr Always room for NL players that wont improve the team. Keep riding that train. One day it might work if I'm granted 3 lifetimes. I'm finding the trade deadline one of the most frightening things as a fan.
