Wolkow and Zapata are mere lottery tickets at this point.

We already saw what Wolkow’s value was at the last trade deadline. Unless Getz refused to trade the next strikeout king which I seriously doubt, I don’t think teams had much interest in him.

Nation writer Bob Nightengale said he expects the 2027 season will start after Memorial Day. We shall see.

That's my guess because of the network TV deal clauses that kick in around that time.

Get ready for a quiet spring.

Carlson, Schultz, Sandlin, Wolkow

I think that’s a realistic package that could significantly improve the rotation without impacting the Sox long term plans (aside from $).

Who are you trading those guys for?
It's not like they are excess either. 2 pitchers we need. Why trade Wolkow? He's the only hitter like that we have in the org. and you won't get much for him anyway, until he develops further (or doesn't).
Carlson is several years behind our alleged logjam in the middle infield. We are going to need him.

We have some 2nd tier middle infielders and other players that we can trade.
Emulate the Brewers. Do not emulate the Mets and Reds.

Trade “what” for young pitching? Strikeout King Colson?

The players people want to trade for the elite one year wonder, Reid Detmers.

Reid Detmers or Drew Rasmussen were the 2 examples I gave. I’m sure there are other plausible options.

There is a real MIF logjam making Carlson a lotto pick we can afford to cash in

And this organization does not lack Wolkow type players. Hes 1 of way too many high K guys

Why is Detmers a one year wonder?

Of course they are.

Well, probably because he put up 4.3 WAR 2021 - 2025 and then put up 4.2 WAR in 2026.

If the Padres sign Skubal I would think they wouldn't sign King. I don't think they would sign both Skubal and King which could open the door for the White Sox signing King.

New owners have to sustain that huge attendance/interest somehow.

Yeah, I get that. But why is not a possibility that he figured something out?

Because flukes are more common.

And not sure he would be worth what it takes in prospects to find out if he truly figured it out.

Oh I definitely agree with both of these. It’s too risky of a trade for me. But declaring that he is without a doubt a fluke is just kind of lazy and serves no purpose imo.

As a baseball fan, I hope he’s figured it out. The sport is more fun when there’s more good players.

The most I would be willing to pay is Carlson, Schultz and Quero if they want him back and want a possible long-term guy behind the plate.

But those first 2 names would be selling low, especially if you think Carlson eventually hit.

Not trading Bonemer.

No one said it was 100%. The theory was even statistically backed up.
