None of them seem to be able to catch the ball.The pitchers hate throwing to him, and we've seen that experiment fail multiple times already. People complain about Quero sucking, but at least he had a very nice run in the majors last year. Lee is atrocious, and makes Quero look like Johnny Bench when you put their career stats next to each other.

14 hours ago14 hr Easy to see why he was gutted in this brief interview. Seems like the range is due to the level of the strain still yet to be determined.X (formerly Twitter)White Sox on CHSN (@CHSN_WhiteSox) on XKyle Teel spoke before tonight's game and provided an update on his ankle injury:
14 hours ago14 hr Author It really sucks because like fathom said you basically have to trade for a starter now. You simply cannot count on him coming back and being his best self this season. It might happen but it very likely will not.

It might happen but it very likely will not.At least it’s a rare case where getting a rental makes sense… and if they decide to bring on someone with control, they could get creative and deal Teel and Quero this offseason to replace the lost prospect capital.Let’s just have Quero unlock Sama mode, go on an absolutely legendary tear, and never look back. 😆
13 hours ago13 hr Who are some useful catchers that wouldn't cost much? Keibert Ruiz is having a nice year and I bet Washington wants to get out of his salary. Of course, then you're stuck paying him through 2030. Caratini could be a pretty good get. Jonah Heim was picked up off the scrapheap and he's playing pretty well.I'd trade for nobody though. This team was doing fine with Quero and Jerkoff playing there. Romo has caught 4 shutouts. This team is still rebuilding, don't give up assets for a guy who will only be useful for a few weeks.

11 hours ago11 hr In the old but recent days, teams played the Rockies GM like a fiddle. So did agents. Now they have a real baseball guy running the show, instead of the owner. He spent 10 years or so in Dodger front office. He wants to trade Goodman but will insist on an overpay. So he says. Maybe on August 3rd, he will make a move.

A trade for Wacha is a lot more appealing than for Detmers imo.18 minutes ago, oldsox said:In the old but recent days, teams played the Rockies GM like a fiddle. So did agents.

Wonder if the Sox could do anything for Brenton Doyle, I bet Colorado would just dump him at this point.

9 hours ago9 hr From Merkin's story tonight:Entering Tuesday, White Sox catchers ranked last in the Majors with a .512 OPS. They're a bottom 10 unit in terms of home runs (9), but they're also last in average (.166) and on-base percentage (.243), according to MLB research.
2 hours ago2 hr The larger question, if they had big eyes for the 2026 season, does this injury cause them to chill on the desperation level to land a pitcher. Maybe you feel like there’s just too many holes to fill at this point to go all in to win big. Maybe you’re just a little bit less ambitious this round. Edited 2 hours ago2 hr by Chick Mercedes
