January 16Jan 16 Slow news lately so I'll mention it. It is in one of his articles from the last day.
January 16Jan 16 Apparently Heyman is still on Boras’s payroll to sell even his crappiest of free agents.
January 16Jan 16 Yankees willing to add multiple opt-outs in their Cody Bellinger pursuit | New York Post behind a paywall. I don't subscribe. MLBTR has a big write up White Sox Interested In Michael Conforto - MLB Trade Rumors Edited January 16Jan 16 by WestEddy
January 16Jan 16 Conforto is a washed player. He has been for past many years.......let Baldwin play instead of bringing in crap like conforto

Baldwin and his HR power needs to be a full time OF. Speed and power has always been a great combination . Throw away all your gloves except for 1 and let your speed and some coaching turn you into an above avg. OF. You're drafting enough SS that one of them will fail enough to be a jack of all trades type. Developing a good utility player is not nearly as important as finding a switch hitting power and speed starting OF from the 12th round.

January 16Jan 16 I will say this…Conforto (or someone like him) makes a lot more sense if you are trading Robert and moving Baldwin to CF. Edited January 16Jan 16 by Chicago White Sox

It will start to get overcrowded with guys who should be in the lineup every day, Beni and the whatever position player additions are made. It already is a bit crowded.

True, but Conforto is still not the guy you want in that scenario. He hasn’t been good in years and he’s just another year older. We need — “or someone like him that’s younger.” Edited January 16Jan 16 by WhiteSox2023

At least Kelenic has youth on his side. I don’t see Conforto magically getting better or staying healthy. If we aren’t necessarily expecting to make the postseason, see what some outfielders can do that aren’t nearing retirement.
January 16Jan 16 Look, if the choice is Conforto, or the Getz failed prospect special, I would take the failed 'spect over Conforto, every single itme.

I agree, I wouldn’t want to hand him a major league job though.

January 17Jan 17 Outside of creating some good faith for dealing with Boras, I don't really see the value of forcing him into the lineup. Even if you gave him a 1 yr deal and let him man an OF spot for two months until Montgomery is ready, his stats look like he's toast on the surface.
