WhiteSox2023 Posted 13 hours ago Share Posted 13 hours ago Just now, Timmy U said: I am just saying, he’ll outplay these guys in the Spring. Cuz they bad. Sure, he could. But this team isn’t close enough to competing to burn a year of control on one of our top prospects. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Timmy U Posted 12 hours ago Share Posted 12 hours ago My thing is I don’t want to watch them go 5-21 again next April. What I really want is for them to sign one more mlb outfielder. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This kid cost nothing but an immaterial amount of money and has options. I don’t think this prevents us from adding a corner OF. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m not surprised they have talked to Conforto. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stopgap moves are actually encouraging if you’re looking for a vote of confidence in him. I ain’t mad. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
caulfield12 Posted 10 hours ago Share Posted 10 hours ago No way Braden doesn't get held back until the cut off date....that would be malpractice considering his lack of playing time at AA/AAA. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Exactly. The Sox aren’t going to spend any serious coin on another outfielder because B. Montgomery is waiting in the wings. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Timmy U Posted 52 minutes ago Share Posted 52 minutes ago 1 hour ago, oldsox said: Jeez, I just realized TP is on the 40-man roster Along with Ben Cowles, Derek Hill, and Everson Pereira. Sox are where DFAs go to languish. Roster is at 39 now, so it does not appear they are on the cusp of a FA frenzy. Although I'm pretty sure some of those guys could make it through waivers. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A large portion of it would clear with no issue. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
