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.

Reds, Brewers, Tigers, Mets, A's, White Sox, Pirates, Mariners

Kyle Teel for Goodman

Not a bad thought. Unfortunately, my friend Kyle Teel has made himself into a back-up catcher. He can no longer be relied on to stay healthy.

I like the uniqueness of the idea but why would the Rockies do this? Is the 2 years of extra control really worth the difference between the players?

Yeah was just throwing something out that would be shocking. Maybe Rockies think Teel is a more complete catcher and would light it up at Colorado while being very cheap for a few years?

Would require more than just Teel I think, but it’s an interesting concept. Someone else on Twitter suggested trading Teel after he got hurt like they did with Madrigal in 2021.

Because of one year? One injury being pretty "freak"?

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

Sox get Holmes, Stephenson, and Ray.

Another route I could also see them take if Holmes doesn’t work out is something like Miller from Seattle for Chase plus prospects conditionally with Luis Arraez in the Ray deal.

While everyone is focusing on Detmers from the Angels, I’m hoping they also take a swing at Kirby Yates.

Starting five becomes:

Burke, Martin, Ray, Holmes / Miller, Kay

Pen:

Taylor, Yates, Hicks, Newcomb, Hudson, McDougal, Dominguez, Schultz, Fedde

Lineup:

Antonacci, Mune, Vargas, Colson, Stephenson, Beni, Braden, Meidroth, Peters

Or

Arraez, Antonacci, Mune, Vargas, Colson, Stephenson, Beni, Braden, Peters

Bench:

Acuna, Grichuk, Pereria

That has a ring to it!

I hadn’t spent much time in this thread until I was ready to contribute - it’s pretty shocking how many of us are expecting Ray and Stephenson.
