July 31, 2025Jul 31 Would Connelly Early or "The Password" be asking too much, even if you threw in a non-Taylor reliever? Edited July 31, 2025Jul 31 by SoCalChiSox
July 31, 2025Jul 31 Sure, but the clock is ticking… Time to start making some moves before we run out of time.

Just get them done and save Robert for the last hour. I think they have two actual deals to make. Houser and Robert. I just don't see any others happening.

Not for much, but may as well get guys what you can for guys like Altavilla, Wilson, Gilbert, Eisert. I could definitely see Michael Taylor being of interest to someone as a bench piece.

I guess there could be very limited interest, but insane to hold on to Tauchman. You've struck gold with him having a career year, and banking on him at 35 years old next year to start is just wild.

Stepping away from the trade frenzy, you still would have to replace those guys. Then the question is how? Even dumpsters get emptied once a week.

If the Sox have most of these veterans on the roster tonight, Chris Getz absolutely failed in his job.

He's more useful as a bridge to Braden unless someone is willing to give up a Top 10-12 player.

Another preemptive strike. Just cannot wait for it to actually happen. Hey I called the doomsday scenario 1st because I'm an unhappy Sox fan but if he does trade some of them I reserve the right to be unhappy about the return.
