February 6Feb 6 16 minutes ago, Sleepy Harold said: Fantastic news on both accounts. I was confident that Iriarte would make it through waivers due to his stuff (and results) going backwards, but was uncertain if Romo would as well. Glad we’ll have him in AAA and gives us more flexibility to make a Lee trade if we so choose now.
February 8Feb 8 MLBTR takes an in depth look at the Jordan Hicks conundrum. While results were not good in Boston, his "stuff" was still there. Key quote: Examining Jordan Hicks' Future With The White Sox - MLB Trade Rumors Quote There are several “ifs” and “coulds” in that scenario, but for his part, Hicks sounds ready to return to a prominent role. He told reporters that he hit 99.5 mph in a recent bullpen session. The reliever added that he wasn’t sore the next day after sitting in the upper 90s during the outing. “That’s telling me that my body’s in a good place,” Hicks said. Interesting read.

The Sox did get an upgrade from a guy who was already proving hum-drum in the lower levels to a guy with actual stuff. The PTBNLs probably aren't going to be "these two future garbagemen for this one future Kroger bagger". One of the FutureSox guys intimated that the guy we're sending was an org depth guy who had a foot out the door. The guys we're getting back may require roster juggling, so they'll wait til ST to play with the rosters. Some have even suggested the PTBNL track is a way to fully obtain Paez so we get access to his options this season. That would be interesting. Also interesting would be the comp pick that the RedSox just picked up. But until proven otherwise, I’ll expect the usual org guy.

My guess though is we are looking prospects who are closer to org guys. Hope I’m wrong and pleasantly surprised with a bit more than that.

Boston already chose not to protect him once, but our Sox have their own crunch coming. Edited 40 minutes ago40 min by Autumn Dreamin
