Benintendi has to play LF passably if you want to have any hope of getting back at least 1/3rd of his contract in a dump at some point (looking less and less likely as teams just wait for him to be waived/released). Why Sosa in RF? I'd put him in LF, and Baldwin in RF. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sosa will give up just as many runs as he prevents once Robert is traded. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WestEddy Posted November 8 Author Share Posted November 8 The #WhiteSox were also linked to first baseman Rhys Hoskins by @MLBBruceLevine today. I’m curious to see if first base is an offseason priority. — James Fox (@JamesFox917) November 8, 2025 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Insert here boilerplate WhiteSox2023 response about the Sox having the worst cumulatve record the last three years, so why wouldn't they also have the most DFA's?

Yes, for the Sox that is definitely the problem. Talent costs money and the Sox won’t be spending much at all this offseason. However, Boob Seymour is right up their alley. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A 27 year old 1B/DH who has yet to make much of an impact in the big leagues... Surely the next Addison Barger in waiting. 40 on contact is a lot better than Elko and Wolkow, at least. But that would probably push Meadiocre out of the picture.

Talent Ratings About Talent Ratings Speed Power Contact Xtra Rbis Runs Hitting Durability Team Success 39 85 40 71 90 61 84 I think Meadiocre gets more run next season. He just turned 25 and Getz won’t want to admit that he acquired absolutely nothing of value for Houser so soon after the trade. Duncan Davitt and Ben Peoples also look like mediocre pitching prospects in their mid-20’s. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

caulfield12 Posted November 11 Share Posted November 11 (edited) Flexen, Carlos Carrasco...splurge on Jose Quintana OR Cody Ponce. LoL. "RHP Cody Ponce: Outside of the three NPB stars, no player coming from overseas is gaining steam quite like Ponce. Born in California, he played for the Pirates in 2020-21 and could now be poised for an MLB return as a much improved pitcher. Ponce spent three seasons in Japan where he had decent-not-great results before dominating the KBO last season with a 1.89 ERA and striking out 252 batters. Multiple scouts described Ponce’s stuff as “electric — when he’s right." theathletic.com Edited November 11 by caulfield12 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
