But they still are doing what got them to that stage which is find middle of the diamond players who already play really good defense and see if you can get them to hit. The only time you can take a chance on questionable defenders is if at one point they aren't too far removed from a high ranking as a MilB player like Vargas. Sox just don't have the runway for corner OF's but they do have a little for a GG CF.

Older former TOR starter (along the lines of a Castillo, Ray, etc. that will demand a decent AAV but only for a couple years.)2.) Newcomb or replacement3.) Grichuk or replacementThis here could totally be right. I just think at minimum they add another $20M+ AAV type SP, even if it’s an older guy on a shorter deal. I’m hoping for a younger, more impactful SP, but Jerry is risk adverse so hard to bank on that part specifically.

4 hours ago4 hr Sox outfield - Sam, Tristan and Braden - are basically rookies. The White Sox would not be in 1st place at this point in the season without them. But then almost everyone on this team looks a bit tired to me. Understandable after the grind of a long season. I hope Teel is on the team plane to Minneapolis.

He's pitching more like a #2 or #3 this year (at least by ERA). If Pittsburgh is worried about his health then they might be open to trading him, otherwise it'd be unlikely IMO they'd trade him during a down year.Baseball Savant for the comparison between 2025 and 2026See his last start against the Padres? I doubt he’d be made available and I doubt the Sox would do it but maybe having an old rotation mate and friend in Taylor would help Getz be motivated to make some magic happen.I believe in Skenes long term as a bonfied ace.
