1 hour ago1 hr 34 minutes ago, Look at Ray Ray Run said:If you think he can't be forced to learn more at AAA, fine I guess.I'd be shocked to see him succeed right away with his current profile.Between this and the huge traffic jam on the 40, this seems rushed, but hopefully he doesn't burn.
1 hour ago1 hr Feels too early to me, but I’ll trust the Sox for now.Got to think Rikuu is going to be sent down.
1 hour ago1 hr Love seeing all these kids coming up and going through it together. Not to mention all of them seem like quality human beings. Braden is a great kid by all accounts. I wish him the absolute best and I hope he never goes back down.
1 hour ago1 hr Felt like not being able to make that play (granted a tough play) yesterday was the end of Nishida. Can't be a 4th OF without absolute elite defense as a slap hitter. That might be his only taste of MLB in his career but at least he got it.
1 hour ago1 hr Going to the game tonight and I hope Braden is in the lineup. Here's hoping he can help the team get into the 2026 playoffs. i can't find anything about Joe Rock. Is he a starter or relief pitcher? Edited 1 hour ago1 hr by WBWSF

I wonder if this will be a one & down who gives some innings and then gets sent down for a more permanent option. I feel Hagen Smith can’t be too far off if they are being this aggressive with Braden.
1 hour ago1 hr Signing Austin Hays was a good idea. But this dude has even been more hurt this year than in years past. Good thing we didn't even really need him. See ya. Also goodbye to Nishida.

That might be his only taste of MLB in his career but at least he got it.I think the Sox just feel they need another power threat somewhere in the lineup with this tough stretch of games coming up. Even if Braden struggles with chasing or ground-balls, hitting a couple mistakes over the fence probably makes him more valuable than Rikuu. Edited 1 hour ago1 hr by Chicago White Sox

See ya.Also goodbye to Nishida.Honestly, I wouldn’t be shocked if we don’t see Hayes until the very end of the season. I liked the signing as a placeholder given the price, but at this point you can’t rely on him and just move forward like he’s not part of the plan.
1 hour ago1 hr 1 minute ago, Baron said:Hagen Smith seems likely to start very soon by these movesFully agree
1 hour ago1 hr Kudos @ron883 for being all over this. Dude is on fire right now with his predictions.

Especially with the solid play we were getting out of Pereia who shoulld be returning soon. Hill probably goes bye bye.

Here's hoping my favorite Soxtalk posters' posts about posters will be vindicated and I can tell my kids I got to see them see it all happen. What a great time to be a White Sox fan fan fan.

1 hour ago1 hr I call BS on this. Didn’t @tray originally wish cast this into existence?In any case, @tray’s sacks still packed with seamen.
