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.

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.

12 hours ago12 hr If Getz is serious about winning this division, Bonemer is on this roster in September instead of a AAAA player.
12 hours ago12 hr As much as I’m intrigued by the decision, how is this just now (last two weeks) becoming an option?

9 hours ago9 hr 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. Edited 9 hours ago9 hr by tray

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.

Sox are lucky the Guardians are 9-10 in the same stretch, but have just improved their play recently.I don’t think Bonemer would be any sort of savior but they are going to have to play better than this to hold off the Guardians.

10 minutes ago10 min It will be interesting to see how Bonemer picks up playing CF. I heard he is very positive about the move. 2027 late season call up ?
