WestEddy Posted Friday at 10:24 PM Author Share Posted Friday at 10:24 PM Heyman says that Cardinals and Mets are also interested in Griffin Canning. Paywall. No link. New York Post. I'd imagine the Sox would look elsewhere. They don't seem to like to be in a crowd when they're pursuing a player. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can't find anything substantial on Bobby Miller. Los Angeles Dodgers Top 52 Prospects | FanGraphs Baseball 21. Ryan Ward, LF Drafted: 8th Round, 2019 from Bryant University (LAD) Age 27.8 Height 5′ 11″ Weight 200 Bat / Thr L / R FV 40 Tool Grades (Present/Future) Hit Raw Power Game Power Run Fielding Throw 40/40 55/55 50/50 45/45 50/50 30 Ward is the Crash Davis of our times. He’s spent the last three years marinating at Triple-A, where he comfortably set the Oklahoma City Comets franchise home run record and became an annual presence on the target lists of scouts with PCL coverage. Buried on the Dodgers depth chart, he probably would have debuted for a couple dozen other clubs by this point, and who knows how agonizingly close he’s been to a ring-netting cup of coffee with Los Angeles. Power is Ward’s best skill, and he’s able to bring plenty of his above-average raw into games. While he uses the entire field, he’s also gotten better at identifying which pitches he can turn on and drive. Befitting a power bat off the bench, he swings a fair bit, but he’s not recklessly aggressive either. He’s average in a corner and has played a little first base, so there’s a bit of defensive versatility here. The quality of his at-bats declines considerably against lefties: He doesn’t see their spin well, and ideally would never face them. He’s on the Quad-A/platoon buffer, and for his sake, we’re hoping 2026 brings more clarity about which side of the line he belongs on.

If they plan on making Newcomb a starter, they still need a lefty reliever.

About time the started adding some NRI deals. I'd guess Newcomb is a SP, so there's Borucki, Hudson, Gilbert, Eisert, & Murphy in competition for 2/3 spots for lefty relievers. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah and 4 of those guys are on 40-man, plus Bush an option when he’s comes off IL. (I still kind of like the idea of packing Gilbert in a deal with Robert, Sosa, Quero, etc) Edited Sunday at 08:23 PM by Bob Sacamano Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He'll be a little harder to acquire just based on the pedigree, but I wouldn't be opposed to the Sox giving him a look. Putting him in the BP alongside Taylor could be electric. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WestEddy Posted 1 hour ago Author Share Posted 1 hour ago Meaningless ESPN listicle outlining what AL Central teams have done so far, and what remains. The Sox still need a veteran OF in their eyes. What's next for Tigers, Guardians, Twins, Royals, White Sox - ESPN Quote Chicago White Sox Key additions INF Munetaka Murakami What they've accomplished so far: Chicago has been a surprise team this winter, dipping into the overseas market for Murakami as well as lefty Anthony Kay, who returns after a stint in Japan. Left-hander Sean Newcomb also provides a veteran arm as the team attempts to take a step forward with a burgeoning offense and a mostly younger pitching staff. The additions help. What they still need to do: The White Sox could use another outfielder after Michael Taylor retired and Mike Tauchman became a free agent. In fact, Tauchman is still available and might be worthy of a return engagement as he was a team leader last season. But let's not bury the lede -- the organization is still getting calls on Luis Robert Jr. Just like last year, the White Sox can hold onto him and revisit the matter in July or perhaps see how the spring plays out for opposing teams and their outfield health. Mostly, the organization needs its young players to take big steps in 2026. Urgency Rating: 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
