August 1, 20223 yr I don't think he's bad or anything, but I feel like we should aim higher. He doesn't get lefties out well and he walks 4.2 per 9. I wonder just how much Detroit is asking for Chafin if we're asking around about Givens.
August 1, 20223 yr Looks like Rodon is gone based upon the postgame reactions. The White Sox will add a bunch of bargain/second tier names but that's what got them in trouble this offseason. Plus the bargain prices didn't exactly turn out to be bargains. Only Cueto, Harrison and Graveman have been solid...with Cueto the only clear winning move.

August 1, 20223 yr Givens would be fine, but it's frustrating seeing the Sox linked with players they could/should have just signed over the off-season.

August 1, 20223 yr Author I’ve always liked Givens and would be cool with acquiring if the price is reasonable. He’s an upgrade over Ruiz, Foster, & Lambert.

But that requires Montgomery Colas Vera...at least one if not two. Rodon is going to opt out of his contract unless his shoulder explodes between now and the end of the season. Top 100 prospects don't get traded for rentals anymore, regardless of how good the player involved is.

August 1, 20223 yr “They said we would never trade assets for a pitcher we just declined to get an asset for because we were scared he’d sign, and now we’ve checked that box” - Hahn, August 2nd 2022 (rodon would be a great get and expiring pitchers are a good idea given our farm)
August 1, 20223 yr Hahn would love to trade for Rodon. He’s the stock trader who sells at $40 and rebuys at $60.
August 1, 20223 yr So we trade for Rodon and he gets hurt and doesn’t opt out……………….that’s how I feel our luck would be. I need about a 8-2 streak to get right
August 1, 20223 yr It’s going to look even worse if the Twins get Rodon and he kicks our ass twice in the last ten games

I need about a 8-2 streak to get right I mean … yes this is probably how it goes but not sure it goes much different anyway. Cease / Rodon is a real 1-2 punch though.
