The lack of payroll flexibility, the lack of prospect resources - all of those things are true and worth making a stink over, but those fights don't change the fact that the white sox aren't in a good position to make very many moves right now. they were in fine position to add a tyler naquin. They are fucked now, but that is again, one of their many choices.
August 2, 20223 yr Just now, fathom said: Agreed but you sure as shit better fire people after the season ends. I've said it before and I'll say it again - firing isn't enough. There's a public tarring and feathering that I believe is more than justified. I'm ok with saying the team is on the field and avoiding any long-term damage. This offseason is already going to be a freaking mess, every near-MLB-ready prospect that they can scrounge together could really help patch the holes.
August 2, 20223 yr Honestly don't know why the Sox won't go in at least on some Padre action while they're okay dealing some good prospects. Trade Abreu for a couple of prospects like Acosta. Damn this team is stupid. I imagine Rick Hahn in the war room looking like Michael Scott.

August 2, 20223 yr Just now, fathom said: Or “some of your favorite players wouldn’t still be on the team” if moves were made Outside of Dylan and Jose I don't really have any favorite players on this team right now!!
August 2, 20223 yr 1 minute ago, fathom said: Or “some of your favorite players wouldn’t still be on the team” if moves were made "our biggest trade deadline deals are getting a healthy Eloy, Grandal and Lynn down the stretch"
August 2, 20223 yr With all this said - I fully expect Ian Happ and wouldn't be shocked at Happ and Contreras type of move.
August 2, 20223 yr Before heaping too much praise on the Padres going for it, just remember that Preller has emptied his farm system and is "going for it" in a year where we know with certainty they will only be a wild card team, and with a high chance of being the road team in all the games of a best of 3 series.

The Dodgers aren’t slowing down anytime soon. You do the best you can with the hand your dealt. You have Machado and Tatis on the roster with a good staff. Go for it.

August 2, 20223 yr I just need to reiterate how disappointing this team has been this year. In all facets. It really sucks.
August 2, 20223 yr Not sure (or care) how the $ would work out, but wouldn’t hate taking Wil Myers off the Padres hands if they are trying to salary dump him

August 2, 20223 yr Cubs not trading Happ and Contreras would be a huge fail. Up there with us doing nothing.

August 2, 20223 yr I don't even want Ian Happ which is why I know the Sox will somehow come through late with some terrible trade to acquire Ian Happ.
