The White Sox traded Austin Slater to the Yankees for Gage Zeihl. Basically nothing. Gage Zeihl was the guy who went to the Red Sox in the Sandlin/Hicks trade. He wasn't "nothing", he was depth that another team had interest in. Dylan Campbell and Jose Colmenares came back from Philly for Hill. Both interesting bats. Just like Curtis Mead, Boston Smith, and others. Jordan Rich. Jaden Woods was the lefty minor league reliever who came back in the Jacob Gonzalez deal that was panned as trading our future SS to secure a "nepo pick". Oh, Woods is striking out 14.9 per 9 IP in Charlotte, of all places.

They applied the surplus to Prosek. People here screamed that Thome was a "nepo pick", just to argue, it seems. Like if a prospect is available at an appropriate slot, giving a discount, the Sox should not select him to pass some mental purity test for the same people who will scream that Getz messed up by not taking Thome when he was available.

Neither of those guys is really a prospect; one was released by the Yankees in 2025 and the other just given to the Phillies by the Dodgers. That's fine; Hill is a 4th OF and did not warrant a real prospect. The problem is the other side: for whatever reason we sent 2 serious prospects for Doyle As for Woods, yea getting him for Eisert was a great move. He's made a lot of good moves.

He's made a lot of good moves.I was using your remark as an example for WS23. We keep throwing around that "we gave a guy away for nothing". William Bergola was a "nothing" that we "gave away" Tanner Banks for, but he's a credible shortstop who was hitting .400 in AAA when he went down.
