Glad to see someone pointing out that neither team thought Tatis was the main part of the deal coming from the Sox

Preller and Padres scouts obviously knew a bit more than Hahn and Sox scouts. They knew that Shields was absolutely burnt toast and got back the best player in the trade.

    This reads like the kind of careful answer you give when you need to pretend he's not already your guy

  • This is the best news they could have received from these meetings. I do question Getz referring to it as an honor. Dude, it pretty much means your team really sucks.

  • Getz should get drunk tonight and sign an outfielder.

It may have just been a White Sox problem. But even the White Sox don’t make that trade in today’s value system. You have to take GM family members hostage for prospect trades

Mason Miller for deVries?

Tanner Scott/Snelling?

1. Chicago White Sox: Roch Cholowsky, SS, UCLA

Cholowsky cemented himself as the likely top pick in this draft by hitting .353 with a 1.190 OPS and blasting 23 home runs as a sophomore at UCLA in 2025. He’s followed that up by slashing .338/.463/.707 with 21 home runs this spring. He’s 6'2" and 200 pounds, and has outstanding raw power to mix with good swing decisions—he's walked more than he's struck out in college. He has average-at-best speed, but should stick at shortstop thanks to good actions and instincts, paired with a plus arm. His stranglehold on this spot has weakened this spring, but he's still the likely pick.

2026 MLB Mock Draft 1.0: Roch Cholowsky, Grady Emerson Ba...

Our first stab at projecting the first round of July's draft is led by a pair of shortstops—one who stars for UCLA and another who attends high school in Texas.

Well that's Preller. He's one of a kind (along with a lot of Sox fans on twitter)
That Tanner Scott, not Cease, yielded the real prospect, Snelling, is annoying.

Shields gave 10 runs in Seattle right before the trade. A couple of weeks later, use a first round pick for a quick-to-the-majors college reliever. 6 Weeks after that, Hahn announces it's time to rebuild.

Yup. I recall. Was gross then and is gross now. One day we won’t have to digest it any longer add nauseam. 😆

Suck

You've got to admit Getz's trade record now looks a little like Branch Rickeyesque. Once in

a while, a guy who gets a job due to sheer laziness on on the management side kills it anyway.
