Tnetennba Posted March 13 Share Posted March 13 3 minutes ago, Chicago White Sox said: I also think that’s a big part of it. I haven’t seen any actual spring training games since they aren’t televised, but the velocity being there and likely the slider looking sharper helps alleviate any concerns about 2024 being a redux of 2023. And the chance of landing a possible cost controlled ace this late into spring training is super fucking valuable. Maybe the baseball gods are finally go to reward us with a mega package after years of torture. Yup, being back at 97 and all of his pitches being sharp the past two starts bodes really well for a return to 2022 form. There's no reason to settle for less now.

GreenSox Posted March 13 Share Posted March 13 (edited) That Rosenthal trade with the Rangers would be a real clown act. Porter, Leiter and a utility infielder. Good gracious. I didn’t like Leiter in the draft, and he’s only gotten worse. Edited March 13 by GreenSox 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Then ship Lorenzen in July Yes, he would be a pretty good flip candidate, as long as he will accept a one year deal rather than two, which may be likely at this point with the last remaining free agents still looking for homes.

Chicago White Sox Posted March 13 Author Share Posted March 13 Interesting nugget from DVS’ latest article: Quote One report, however -- that the Yankees had heightened interest in the wake of Gerrit Cole’s arm issue -- didn’t have much substance according to multiple sources. I find that hard to believe, but if true, Sox using the Yankees to help drive up the price for the Rangers & Padres? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don’t buy this at all. Cole is already expected to miss opening day. “Arm issues” always lead to one of two things, long absence on the IR or surgery. The Yankees are most definitely assessing all of their options for a replacement starter. Edited March 13 by WhiteSox2023 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anyways, by the time the Sox are likely good again in 2+ years or more, Cease could have already signed with a new team. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He still could be right after seeing that rumored Rangers offer. The whole argument is basically whether he is worth 2 Top 100s (or equivalents for young players who graduated) or 1 Top 100. Balta believes the latter. If the Rangers return is true then Balta would be right but that just seems unlikely in this market. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JR is unwilling to pay cash for SP because they break so often, so Getz is backed into the corner of using trade assets for SP. I agree that the positional side should be addressed first but they seem to hate savages and any kind of meaningful offense in general.
