Rumor: White Sox in potential discussion(s) with Red Sox....

[Buehrle>Wood]

I realize we have Murakami + full season Colson but not sure this line-up can afford to be trading away 22 HRs out of it, especially with Robert gone. Hopefully the return is good.

You can blame Andrew Benintendi for that.  He'll be the DH and Sosa doesn't have a position here. Or else I would make him the DH

He's either younger than his years because his career IP's are low because of all the injuries, or he's old for his age because of all the injuries. He's had an arm injury (Elbow or Shoulder injuries) land him on the IL every year since 2019 but for 2023. 

I'm curious what kind of money they would throw in on a deal with him. To me a potential trade for him doesn't move the needle unless your getting something useful along with him.

and I'm about to go drink my week away. You all have fun tonight I'll keep an eye on my phone.

If we took on full salary of the remaining 2 years, I would hope something else came over. Knowing Jerry, we'll send out the interesting young piece in favor of the Red Sox eating money.

Jerry:  The f*** you will!

I'd rather trade for former Rule 5 Draft pick Shane Drohan than those 2.

Edit: it makes me think Sosa would not be involved though

Maybe interest in Ramos is pretty heavy and the Sox can get an arm back.

Really dont know how he can be counted on as a starter anymore. If for some reason hes being involved in talks with white sox, it has to be a bullpen piece but again they need outfield and starting pitching more. Trading any little value we have again a possible starter when there is so much free agents is poor use of goods.

Also was worse as a reliever last year than a starter

Yeah it wouldn’t make sense to take on his contract if you can just spend that money in free agency.

Almost feels like an AB bad contract swap but cant really make-out the pieces there.

Too many OFs already in Boston

Would rather be trading to get one of their outfielders than the pitching they have.

I meant in a bad contract Benintendi swap. Doesn’t really work. They’ve got like 5 OFs on their roster: Anthony, Duran, Abreu, Rafaela (needs to be in CF), and Yoshida

[Whisox05]

I know that but they have extra what we need in outfielders and we extra infielders and catchers they need.

I doubt anyone wants him other than some low payroll team.  He’s out of options and coming off of a terrible season at AAA.  He wasn’t great at AAA in 2024 either.
