A whole lotta what ifs going to be asked if Cleveland makes it past Tampa 😔

Yup, Sox played the Rays tough all year too. 😢

I hope Getz takes notes on how to improve a club without giving up big time prospects. That was a masterclass of a deadline by Cleveland:

Griffin - 6.2ip, 10ks, 3er
Adell - 8 RBIs, .988 OPS
Lowe - .400 OBP, .700 OPS

Cleveland does what Cleveland does.

Been doing it for a decade.

Yeah, but are they going to have studs like Castillo and Doyle around for additional years?

Do you think the location of the new stadium will be good for them?

Without a doubt, most in the Metro area live in Tampa and the northern suburbs. For those fans it’s a bad trek down to St. Pete especially on weekdays during rush hour with all the bridges having huge traffic jams. Fans in the towns east of the Bay have to travel up to 30 miles out of their way as they have to take I-75 south to 275 and then come back north across the Sunshine Skyway bridge. Actually for me here in Port Charlotte and fans in Bradenton, Sarasota and Venice it will be a longer trip. What the difference in attendance will be is anyone’s guess but the Lightning and the Bucs draw very well in Tampa, my guess the Rays will probably average 5,000 fans more a game with a lot more in the first few years. We take 3-4 cruises a year out of Tampa and we can get to the port which is right next door to Benchmark Arena in less than 90 minutes and it would probably be about 15 minutes more to the new ballpark.

Happy to watch Jose Ramirez botch a routine grounder with 2 outs, leading to 3 runs scoring. Suck it!

Peralta was definitely the starter to acquire.

Funny thing is that Tobias Meyers would later go on to be released by Sox from AAA and Meyers then went on to help the small market Brewers in 2024 postseason.

But Cleveland would have had a near dynasty with Caminero...

You gotta have prospects that other teams want.

Yet the real mystery is the Gonzales trade. He might have been a decent bargaining chip at the deadline.

White Sox valued draft pick $$$ >>> 2026 playoffs

the return was basically prep bat Prosek...

Can't believe the Rays pitched to Adell there with a lefty on the mound and first base open. They got away with it though.

White Sox won four consecutive playoff games…then lost three

Guardians won four consecutive…lost ???

But still the massive test facing Gavin Williams

Tampa has N.Martinez and Ober

He has been good the first half of seasons but not the 2nd half....maybe not the best deadline acquisition for your bullpen huh?

Suck it Ramirez and Guardians! Your crappy city and team will be irrelevant in a weeks time.

Loved seeing Ramirez be the reason they lost tonight.

Also after seeing the Rays get dominated by CLE pitching, we should be less critical of our guys. The Rays have looked bad the last two nights.

She's an accountant?

I'd like to see her corporate box, if you catch my drift
