Why not? The time to do it is in the minors.

I guess...but much more likely to happen in the AFL. Should be only about 7-10 days left to go in the season.

Trying to choose which spot to replace between LF 2B and Peters/Doyle at this point is beyond tricky.

Why would they push him into CF instead of an easier position like LF where he could focus more on his hitting?

Left field is where you stash people that have little value at premium positions. CF is a premium position. Left field is a waste of his talent talent/value. You trade him before you play him in left field. Or, you trade someone else on the infield.

If Getz is serious about winning this division, Bonemer is on this roster in September instead of a AAAA player.

As much as I’m intrigued by the decision, how is this just now (last two weeks) becoming an option?

Act of desperation…

When’s the last time the Sox brought up a “savior” offensive prospect in the final month of the season and threw him right into the fire?

Who gets benched?

Maybe Getz is starting to realize his entire trade deadline was a bust?

Sure but during AFL and into the off season...except everything's going to be frozen in terms of major trades with the lockout one month after the WS.

Castillo, Urquidy and Brazoban were the best they could do? And Doyle? A golden chance to win a Division championship seems like it may be evaporating before our eyes - that would be a sad ending for one of the best White Sox seasons in a long while.

you might be right. I didn't mind their deadline, but in hindsight, for me at least, it's a deadline that says "We're the Dodgers or Phillies or Yankees", not "We're the White Sox". The White Sox haven't established they are a playoff team yet. They needed larger upgrades. With that stated, Getz may have just wanted to hold onto as many top guys as he could to get another year of "what do we have". Or, because he knew the lockout was coming and he was ordered by ownership to keep payroll as lean as possible while considering Mune was getting an extension.

Vargas’ future is equally important, but it doesn’t by definition have to be decided in 2027.

Vargas is the better player, but Mune brings the prestige

9-11 since the trade deadline. I don’t think Bonemer could be any sort of savior but they are going to have to play better than this to hold off the Guardians.
