I had been proposing keeping Sandlin and going with a 6th starter - seems they need to do something right now. All star break will be coming at a good time. Mune also coming back at a good time!

14 hours ago14 hr Maybe oversimplifying it, but I think Martin was just due for regression and we’re seeing it.I still think he’s a fine 4 or 5, which is valuable.Burke might be a dude, though. I have an easier time buying a breakout from him.

I have an easier time buying a breakout from him.Possibly some regression along with fatigue. Hopefully the all star break gives these guys some much needed rest.There's no doubt the Sox need more pitching. A starter (or two) and a bullpen arm. Fedde and Kay should hold up well and be able to eat a lot of innings. Martin and Burke will probably end up being somewhat inning limited. Shultz will definitely be limited. Picking up a good SP along with another veteran who can eat innings would help a lot. And one more quality arm for the bullpen would be great.

They have actually gained four games in the standings since Murakami got hurt and now are primed to add a premier slugger to a lineup that's finally at full strength.The top 100 MLB trade deadline candidatesSkubal to the ...? All-Star outfielders and shortstops available? Here are the big names your team could be targeting.Passan & McDaniel rank the top 100 »Which makes pitching even more of a priority. Davis Martin has been All-Star-worthy. Sean Burke is a solid midrotation arm. Anthony Kay is a perfectly solid back-end type. But the White Sox need a dude. And Detmers, the 27-year-old who isn't a free agent until after the 2028 season, is an ideal fit. Don't let his 4.13 ERA fool you. The stuff is premium, the strikeouts are plentiful and the ability to carve good lineups is vital for any potential White Sox playoff run.At the same time, while Detmers is Chicago's best match, he's also a dream because it's unclear if Angels owner Arte Moreno will allow interim general manager John Mozeliak to trade any players with multiple years of club control. He should. The Angels need a face-lift, tummy tuck and 1,000 units of Botox. And the White Sox offer prospect optionality to fill a woebegone Angels system. Want an elite middle-infield glove? Billy Carlson is there. Exceptional bat-to-ball skills? William Bergolla can be had. Huge potential? Noah Schultz, come on down. The fit makes too much sense for both sides not to make it a reality.
12 hours ago12 hr I would trade Billy Carlson/Bergolla + for Detmers in a heartbeat. Mix and match some Boughton, De Pino as well if needed. Edited 12 hours ago12 hr by DirtySox

I have an easier time buying a breakout from him.I think it’s a mix of regression and tiring out. I think Martin is likely a solid #3 starter or a high-end #4 on a championship caliber team. I think Burke has a higher ceiling than Davis for sure as we’ve seen lately. Just comes down to consistency for him, but I believe in the talent.

Why are we giving up a top prospect in hopes that we can fix him?
11 hours ago11 hr They way things are shaping up Boston, Minnesota and Detroit may not be selling at the deadline making things even more complex and potentially difficult for Getz to get help.The price of pitching is going to be very, very expensive.We'll see what, if anything, the Sox can do to get help.

I think giving up Schultz for Detmers defeats the purpose. If they want Carlson and other guys, then sure.

1 hour ago1 hr Why are we so quick to sell the farm this season? Why give up a potential 20 HR, perennial gold glove shortstop (#60 prospect in baseball) for a guy with a career 4.7 ERA and 2 years left of control? It's just not good value by any standard. 3 hours ago, hi8is said:Carlson and Hagen Smith for Detmers. Get it done.Now this is wild. Two top 100 prospects for a 5th starter/swingman. Why are we so keen on jettisoning talent from the system? The Sox are not one 'meh' pitcher away from being a WS contender. Is Detmers even better, today, than Hagen Smith?It's not like I hate the idea of trading for Detmers, but it takes guys like Jeral Perez and Mathias LaCombe to get it done not our previous two first round picks.

1 hour ago1 hr 5 minutes ago, Look at Ray Ray Run said:Yes, detmers is much better today than Hagen Smith.Exactly. Hagen Smith is walking 6.23 batters per 9 innings in AAA. Anyone want to see how many batters he would walk in the majors right now? Dude would get his s%*# pushed in.I wouldn’t make that proposed trade but Hagen Smith wouldn’t be an improvement to the rotation this season like Detmers would be. Afterall, we are already seeing the rookie struggles with Noah Schultz Edited 55 minutes ago55 min by WhiteSox2023
