Dude is set to be a free agent at like 27 with very limited innings on his arm. I don't know if I would completely say this.

I have never seen a first round draft pick pitcher abused the way the White Sox did this one. Multiple elbow injuries, velocity drops that were ignored, guy forced to come back way too early from TJS leading to more injuries. If he comes out of that still surviving, he should 100% care about getting contract security.

If that were true, the 3rd piece could be inconsequential to me honestly. Painter would've been a wild get.

Yeah, painter could turn into a injury prone elite arm with top stuff and a huge ceiling... he could be someone like Garrett Crochet one day!

You guys crack me up sometimes.

Nothing significant at all. It’s going to be a horrible offseason in terms of what the big league roster looks like.

But chris hired a director of hitting!

They now have many people in charge of all the specific areas of bad. The administrative class is here to rescue the White Sox.

Every time I gain the slightest bit of optimism about Getz, Harold pops in with this godforsaken idea that Chris must be pondering.

Benintendi's contract shouldn't be an issue. The payroll is extremely low as it is.

Give me Mayo & Kjerstad for Crochet. Do something Orioles.

We're aiming for 150 losses.

There can be positives and negatives happening at the same time.

Red Sox - Roman Anthony, Kyle Teel, Marcelo Mayer (1 of them)

Dodgers - Josue De Paula

Phillies - Aiden Miller 

 

Whomever they trade him to, those are the musts in any trade. I think the Phillies considering Dombrowski's hunger to win and them completely falling on their face in the playoffs, this one would be the most realistic. Either way Chris Getz has set himself up really well this offseason to move him, what he can't do though is take an underwhelming package just because you feel you have to move him like he did with the Dylan Cease deal 

My top two trade candidates are Philly and Boston

This one was self inflicted by the player Todd Von Poppel. 

David Clyde was screwed by the team to sell tickets.

Do you think they would be willing to take on Benintendi's contract?

I saw Boston and Mets are teams to watch. Both those teams would be asked to take on Benintendi.

Probably will be eliminated completely by AI when Musk buys the Sox and reinvents bureaucracy in one fell swoop.

On the surface, this doesn't make sense: Trading a great talent with little guarantee the team will get a good value in return. There is nothing like a rebuild. How did that last one go?

Are you suggesting the literal worst team of all time team shouldn’t rebuild?

It would absolutely bonkers not to trade Crochet this offseason. Extreme injury risk with only two more years of control and there’s never in history been a team further from contention than the White Sox right now. Literally none of the players on the current active roster will be on the next White Sox contender.

Waiting for this year’s deadline should be a distant plan B to consider in the event of a horrible seller’s market.

I'd be surprised if the Red Sox were that aggressive.  I'm hoping the Mets go berserk.

Just being argumentative, but Thorpe and Berroa could quite possibly be on the next contending team. 

What concerns me about trading Crochet, is that Getz will not get a fair amount of talent back.   The Vargas trade was a Complete Disaster, Getz is just over his head.   Keep Crochet!

I wonder if an inter-division trade could happen? Definitely shouldn’t be a deterrent with the Sox and our realistic window of getting back into contention. Detroit and Minny have a few hitting prospect that will work as trade partners. 
 

Basically, I think a smaller market team that knows they will never sign a top FA pitcher getting aggressive for Crochet would be ideal for the Sox. Dbacks would be another example

I hate that this is still a thing being discussed. I just cannot for the life of me fathom why prioritizing dumping Beni is a priority over maximizing return. It doesn’t make a single lick of sense. It’s the White Sox, so you can’t completely dismiss it, but I’ll believe it when I see it.

Granted. 

I think Painter was realistic when he was in the middle of his injury rehab. Now that he's back and shoving, I can't see him being on the table.

Cleveland or Milwaukee...

 

 

I get he’s of limited value to the Sox, but I like watching Crochet pitch. If they can get a top guy (Zyhir Hope?), absolutely, do the deal. Miguel Vargas-type? I would keep him.
