Not what you want to do - but what do you predict?

I think the Sox get 2 starting pitchers from the group of (High Contract / Eat Money (Castillo / Ray), and then one of Singer/Mets crew), a catcher, and their splash move is Mason Millers (headlined by one of our SS prospects). The splash move is not one I would like to make but I think Getz is going to go big and maybe than leverages Millers and someone else to swing for a TOR guy later in another year (or they explore developing Miller into that TOR guy).

I think they end up with a veteran catcher and a couple arms, but I don't think they cave to the demands for a top of the line arm.

Stephenson and Singer for Quero and lower prospect

Jeff Hoffman for Mason Adams

I was going to say I think we make a multi player trade with the Reds and then Clay Holmes.

I don't think we acqurie a bullpen arm.

Holmes, Ray, and a catcher.

Give up very little, maybe someone like Lodise for Ray and Davis for Holmes.

I would prefer Singer and Stephenson (in addition to one of those other pitchers) although I think that would require probably something along the lines of Adams and Mongollon.

I would have no issues with either of these moves.

Only if Hoffman doesn't close. Asking him to close again would be a disaster.

I think we’re looking at something like the following:

Trade #1:

• CWS get: LHP Reid Detmers

• LAA get: SS Billy Carlson, C Edgar Quero, & RHP Mason Adams

Trade #2:

• CWS get: LHP Robbie Ray (full contract)

• SFG get: RHP Pierce George

Trade #3:

• CWS get: C Tyler Stephenson

• CIN get: IF Kyle Lodise & lottery ticket

Stephenson has been really good at the plate. OPS over .900 last month and a half I believe

He's been really solid today against the Guardians at the plate

A starting pitcher with lowered value instead of inflated.

A starting pitcher, a reliever, and a catcher. I'd like to see Ray, mainly because he wouldn't cost much at all if the Sox eat the money. Stephenson would be a nice addition at catcher. Then a mid-level bullpen arm.

I predict trades.

Robbie Ray and Tyler Stephenson. No major prospects given up at all. Urquidy is our 2nd SP addition. This is the type of deadline I'd prefer.

Yuck #1 -

Deal #2

Deal #3

I don’t think Robbie Ray happens because a team other than the White Sox will be willing to take on more of his remaining contract.

Which team is unexpectedly flush with as much money as us and doesn’t have to worry about luxury tax considerations?

I think they trade for Jose Urquidy

I asked AI the other day if The White Sox were one of the teams on Kevin Gausman's no trade list and it said Yes.

I said f*** him then and it said it understood my sentiment.

You win the contest.

A team other than one owned by Jerry Reinsdorf. Ray is owed like $12 million for the reminder of this season. That’s a big chunk of change, like 13% of the Sox currently payroll.

Minimally, catcher Luis Torrens from the Mets.

Maybe Reid Detmers from the Angels.

I just don't expect too much. Never forget...JR is a cheap fella.

Me. I would go big. Caleb Bonemer and cash for Colorado catcher Hunter Goodman

A lot of pointless bickering.
