3 hours ago3 hr I thought I heard Chuck say on the post-game show that the Sox have the 4th lowest output offensively for catching in the history of baseball. That can't be right, mind-boggling.

3 hours ago3 hr While I would trade neither Bonemer nor Carlson this July (except perhaps for Miller, if projected as a starter going forward), I would trade Bonemer first. I would not trade Carlson. I've shifted on this. Bonemer would bring more in return. He is higher ranked, closer to the majors. He should bring a ton.We already have Bergolla (who could be traded too) and Roch close to the majors. CCarlson is an elite defender. The best of the best. It would be great to have that and we need it. I think Carlson has a higher ceiling, if they can fix his swing hitch.

I know Quero has been bad but what catcher can they obtain that would/should be much better than Quero, assuming Quero hits his way out of his slump? Seems like it would be an expensive price to pay.

Bonemer is going to be a stud hitter in the majors. Carlson may have a higher theoretical ceiling simply due to how good his defense, but the odds of him achieving it are significantly less than Caleb doing so.I also don’t think “infield defense” is a massive need when you have Roch at SS, Colson at 3B, Chase at 2B, & Vargas at 1B. That’s a damn good defensive infield. Edited 2 hours ago2 hr by Chicago White Sox

Seems like that will need to be an offseason project.

2 hours ago2 hr Offensively Stephenson makes a lot of sense since he doesn’t have huge splits either way and can pair with what we have currently or Teel if he comes back.
2 hours ago2 hr 3 minutes ago, ron883 said:We kind of need a Mason Adams at the moment. Would be strange if we traded him for a rental catcher than we need for 2 months.I could see Mason getting traded, but moreso for a SP with control.
2 hours ago2 hr 9 minutes ago, Chicago White Sox said:I could see Mason getting traded, but moreso for a SP with control.Agreed, that would suck. He should be an upcoming callup to improve the bullpen, not on his way to another team in a trade. Maybe they can find a way to nab Stephenson and Singer for a volume of lesser prospects in a package deal? Edited 2 hours ago2 hr by WhiteSox2023
2 hours ago2 hr Stephenson is a good idea, but I'd expect more of a lotto ticket trade for him. Adams seems like a LOT for 2 months of a 0.3 fWAR catcher.

I feel you've been influenced!
1 hour ago1 hr Suggested prices for Miller, Griffin and Wacha/Lynch dealsSD lost today, three under .500SIMLB Trade Deadline: Four Deals Involving All-Stars We’d L...We matched up All-Stars with trade partners in the Rays, Yankees, Cubs and Phillies in deals that we’d like to see go down before the Aug. 3 deadline.
1 hour ago1 hr I like Adams a lot but he is exactly the type of player you trade at the deadline: a 25 year old mid-rotation to backend starter who has to be protected on the 40 at the end of the year. With the roster crunch the Sox are facing, they’ll lose a few of these guys for nothing fairly soon anyway.
