43 minutes ago43 min Southisene is the Cubs’ 10th ranked prospect per BA and Bateman is currently unranked (although 21st at Pipeline). The former is a former overslot prep pick in the 4th round ($1M bonus) who is likely limited to 2B and has literally zero power. Sounds like he has really good speed and is a patient hitter, but the upside looks incredibly limited to me. Seems like a pretty meh return. I think Boston Smith is a better prospect than both these guys.

This makes the Castillo trade look like an overpay. Edited 40 minutes ago40 min by WhiteSox2023

They will add another SP for sure…the big question is what level of impact. Edited 36 minutes ago36 min by Chicago White Sox

The Teel injury simply made that addition unavoidable, but sticking with Romo & Quero would have been a mistake regardless.
