July 31, 20241 yr 6 minutes ago, Bob Sacamano said: I was thinking Nicky Lopez to at least be a bench piece. They can take their pick! It’s probably another reason why more guys didn’t get moved yesterday. Everyone knew the whole roster would be put on waivers today and they can just claim anyone they want (in the odd case of a team actually wanting any of our players currently).
July 31, 20241 yr 7 hours ago, Bob Sacamano said: Yep. Whatever money saved (including the buyout for next year, though small) is a win. Heck, I don't think anywhere thought there was a chance in hell that he was getting moved. i thought someone might've taken a shot at moncada, if he was healthy at some point, he could at least give you really good defense at 3b and, at times, streaky offense. people probably did call and ask about him, i'm guessing he's REALLY far away from being ready to play

The Orioles just lost their All-Star 3B Jordan Westburg to a right hand fracture today. There are calls for Coby Mayo to be called up. Edited July 31, 20241 yr by WhiteSox2023

Better than Benitendi and Vargas in LF which isn't saying much.He did rob a HR in his first fews games with the Sox. He's got an above average arm too.

You haven't missed much so far .0 -8 also had a ball he appeared to take a bad route on clank off his glove. Wasn't called an error after a long run into the gap but I think Julks would've caught it.

Which puts him at about a $10 million player on the open market if you figure that salary times 3X to factor out over a full season.
