Very weird they used him in this capacity when we are desperate for SP and have already punted on Hagen & McDougal being used in those roles.If he isn't being traded it's actually quite frustrating. The only consistent strategy (Schultz the exception) appears to be turning every pitching prospect into a reliever

This was Mason’s normal day to start and he still pitched, but in a relief role and less innings than usual.

1 hour ago1 hr Five days or less until Detmers is a White Sox. Just a prediction, but I am very confident it happens. Soxtalk won’t be a fun place afterwards if it does…lol.

We’ve made trades the past 3-4 years where we ended up being underwhelmed due to us overvaluing guys. Or having different targets than ultimately received. Maybe we’ll be wrong on Detmers too.

1 hour ago1 hr Definitely would rather have Detmers over Holmes due to age and years of control, but it all comes down to the cost.I do think Urquidy is the second starter already, and they try to obtain a catcher. Edited 1 hour ago1 hr by WhiteSox2023

1 hour ago1 hr 16 minutes ago, Bob Sacamano said:Eh, rentals won’tWe’ll see. Many teams in contention need starting pitching.
1 hour ago1 hr I think if the angels don’t get an overpay, they’ll hold onto him and trade him next deadline or in the offseason.

Lodise or Bergolla or someone of that tier (who is not underperforming and undervalued, ie Oppor) should be the headliner. Bergolla and Mogollon seem like nice pieces to me but have a difficult path to the MLB roster and don't clearly show star upside the way that Carlson or Smith do (and Bonemer obviously but he's going no where). A guy whose upside is 'mid rotation starter' but has shown over 6 MLB seasons to be a 5th starter/swingman type is not returning a top 50 prospect and more.
