The Sox pitching and catching is in a really bad spot. They need some serious starting pitching help. If they want to really compete, they'll have to trade some big prospects IMO.

I'm at the point where I'm not sure if I want them buying. They really need to make a big splash in free agency. Maybe we get lucky and there is a salary floor, so they have to spend big bucks on somebody like Skubal.

They should not be buying. Buying in the last week is always an overpay, and the Sox have too many holes for ine player to make enough of an impact.

Just flush it.

There is no way Reinsdorf gives his blessing to be buyers. This is still a rebuild.

Even if they were able to take on money, I think they should neither buy nor sell, but stand pat. That being said, I have no idea how many years of control they have on Martin/Burke, so if it's 2.5 or less then maybe they should sell them.

Being around 1st place is a pleasant surprise, but nobody expects the Sox to win the pennant and they don't have the horses to do so, even as buyers.

They should and I almost guarantee they will. To what extent, we shall see. To suggest selling when you’re in first place is insane though. Are we White Flag fans or White Sox fans?

They are ahead of any reasonable rebuild schedule. Enjoy being ahead. Digging a hole to fill a deeper hole just leaves two holes.

So, drop the shovel?
