20 hours ago20 hr -With all that information processed, the White Sox will add here from the outside. I wouldn’t expect Tarik Skubal to be on their free-agent radar, but money will be spent in this area.O’RLLY? Edited 20 hours ago20 hr by Chick Mercedes
19 hours ago19 hr He SHOULD be, but yeah, we all know better as long as Jerry is still signing checks.

14 hours ago14 hr Realistically adding an ace probably doesn't help this rotation as much as adding two mid rotation guys for the same money.

14 hours ago14 hr I don't remember Getz describing him as an ace. I could see a free agent and a infielder trade adding two arms.

That Castillo money on the books really does hurt. Edited 13 hours ago13 hr by wegner
13 hours ago13 hr Obviously easier said than done, but trading for a TOR arm should be the #1 priority of the off-season for Getz. Adding depth (DH, RP, Backend SP) in free agency should be the easy part. Sadly I just still don’t expect this organization to be highest bidder on the few available top free agents

We have the ammo to get an arm without giving up a major chip.Carlson, Schultz, Antonocci, McDougal, Sandlin, Martin, Wolkow, Bergolla, QueroNot saying we are going up get a top 10 arm with a package of 4/5 of them…but a very good SP

He had a .380+ OBP at 19 in A ball with great SS D. No one with sense is panicking because the power isn’t there yet.

We seem to undervalue the economics of pitching.The development year was put on hold. I think they will do the usual low risk signings, probably another Fedde type.I still don't trust Getz when it comes to trading.
