Kinda have to move him before his start tonight, no? Would be wild to take that risk.

Agree.

There is no point to him pitching tonight unless you're keeping him

I hope you’re right, but it feels like there hasn’t been any movement on the SP front so that may take more time.

The deals so far haven't been groundbreaking that's for sure. 

I’d cancel his start. He’s absolutely going to get traded. Unnecessary risk

Sounds like Davis Martin in the clubhouse. So at least they have a plan.

I’m hoping Guardians or Brewers as the landing spot.  Both will value the extra year of control at $7.5M next year and have the positional prospects to make it happen.

I have and right now he looks like a poor man’s Dominic Fletcher (and I don’t mean that in a good way).  Yes, I’m aware of the defense value he brings, but there is no hope for this franchise until we start adding multiple everyday guys who can hit 20+ HRs while sporting average or better OBP’s.  And since Fedde might be our only big chip we move, it needs to be for a guy who can help this offense in the next year or two.  My bigger worry is that Getz will simply acquire more pitching and claim they will flip from their surplus at a later date to fix the offense.  And that would the final nail in the coffin for me in terms of having any hope for Getz ever being able to build an offense.

I fully agree we need OBP and power, particularly savage power, but unfortunately Getz doesn't seem to value that and he's apparently content trying to win games 4-3 or 3-2 with pitching, defense and speed on the bases. 

I'm not really a fan of this philosophy particularly in our ballpark, but it is what it is. 

He might get a savage bat at some point in these trades, but I doubt he will get a bunch of them.

Forgot about Davis Martin. He didn't look too shabby in his first stint with the team. Hopefully he can be a solid end of the rotation guy. 

Can probably add mets to list. Lost senga for rest of season. Hopefully drives up price

To the Mets in a deal headlined by Clifford. Do it. Cardinals have no one I want.

Wonder if the Mets might also be into Crochet?

The Mets farm has some good pieces. It's a match for either pitcher tbh.

Williams and Gilbert have both been hurt all year. Acuna is trending downward. Probably a utility player. Parada is a must avoid, down arrow prospect. I like Sproat. I love Clifford. That's pretty much it for me.

there's only two farms I really wanna take from for our big chips and that's Boston and Baltimore 

A lot of Baty squat from the Mets fans on X.  He and his .607 OPS is the kind of failed prospect the Sox need to stay far away from.  Jordan Walker is another one - DH only hasn't hit since 2022.

Yep, no thanks to either one.

Footnote here:  The runner up to signing Erick Fedde was the NY Mets

It feels like Brewers are number 1 contender now

Will they give up Pratt?

Not trading Fedde would be a colossal failure. He has no future on a contending White Sox team and his value will never be higher. 
 

I don’t care if the return is consider underwhelming, he has to be moved.

I don’t think Sox end up getting Pratt in a deal 

Fedde really talking in past tense

I can see Getz milking this one to the end to try to maximize the return best he can to a desperate buyer.

Almost seems like he called out crochet a little here
