But while he hit the crap out of the ball a lot, I felt like he had some shitty luck hitting it right to people or flying out to the warning track in center. Even with that, he's a really good platoon bat. Lots of opposite field warning track shots it seems. Could benefit him a ton playing in NY.

Getz jumped on Slater almost immediately as his self-proclaimed “number one target of the offseason” which likely put an end to any interest in the now history-proven better option in Hays as a righty outfielder. If Slater could bring back a #18 prospect, it’s fairly obvious that Hays would have returned more value than that.

The consensus about this trade generally seems to be positive yet you feel the need to throw barbs over longstanding past grudges. Like, we get it dude, you just want attention, but this s%*# just isn't necessary.

If the Sox could get this kind of return for Slater, you have to assume Tauchman is worth more. Hopefully the Sox don’t just retain Tauchman because he’ll be a cheap starting RF option for next season. That would be a mistake and a joke. Sell high and see what Danger Will can do for the rest of the season starting in RF. There will be other options than Tauchman for what will likely be another losing season regardless.

July 30, 2025Jul 30 Hypothetically this should give the Sox some added leverage in a Tauchman trade too you would think.
July 30, 2025Jul 30 Ziehl doesn't become rule 5 eligible until December 2027, if that was a concern for anyone.
July 30, 2025Jul 30 1 hour ago, chitownsportsfan said: The Yankees are all of 2 games better than the Sox since May 30th. They are not in any world a 1 WAR platoon guy away from even winning the division. Cashman and Boone are both on the hottest of NYC summer seats. The Yankees are 4 games out of first and hold the top wildcard spot, they're in the playoff picture every year. Those teams don't give two shits about trading their 18th ranked prospect to bolster their roster for a playoff run. Meanwhile, the White Sox trade a top 10 organizational prospect for a 26 year old no ceiling OFer coming off a 101 loss season. In what world should any Sox fan be shading the Yankees for attempting to upgrade their playoff caliber roster?

But yeah, he’s probably the prospect we can only wish for Wolkow to become.

The Yankees should be doing better.

July 30, 2025Jul 30 Ziehl slots in as our #14 prospect per mlb.com. Not bad for Slater. White Sox Top Prospects | MiLB.com
July 30, 2025Jul 30 Yeah, this is actually looking like a pretty good trade. More of this, please. Since May 1, Gage Ziehl has a 3.79 ERA and has gone 8 out of 11 starts with at least 5 IP and 2 or less earned runs. He also hardly ever walks batters.
