Lol, the score hasn't had credibility for decades.

Thankfully it is Dinger Tuesday on Fanduel

Look, I totally get the annoyance of having little yappy dogs nipping at your heels constantly, but at some point you just learn who is worth giving oxygen to, and who is not. The Score has been running this exact operation for decades for nothing more than ratings. Call it the Mariotti plan. But John does nothing by engaging with these clowns.

I really think Hahn having Kenny Williams around to bounce things off of, and run things through, kept things on a relatively leveled path. With an FNG running an organization with just Jerry and probably TLR to go to for advice, it isn't a huge surprise this thing is quickly circling the drain.

Oops, yeah misread that one. Burke is a disappointment for sure. Was hoping for an Adam Engel type arc for him. Hopefully he figures it out.

Jacob Burke and Wilbur Sanchez notable as demotions. Great to see Carela moving up.

For pitching? Yeah I would. Look we might not do a lot well, but we pump out top notch pitching like it is going out of style.

That is exactly what Getz has been chasing.

I thought he was rushed anyway, but if he is here, he should be a priority. Guys like Nick Senzel don't need to see the field. If it isn't Baldwin, get Ramos up here. With the roster that exists today, Lenyn Sosa and Brooks Baldwin should be every day starters, along with Miguel Vargas (whether IF or OF) and then mix and match in guys like Lil Nicky and Senzel based on match ups. The one I would really like to move out is Gavin Sheets. He is up to almost 1300 plate appearances as a 88 OPS+ hitter (82 now this season) and get up either one of the OF kids we traded for in DeLoach or Colas. The starting OF going forward should be some kind of combination of Colas/DeLoach/Vargas/Fletcher and Robert for trade value and a stable CF. Rotate the rest.

Literally everyone else has sounded better with John vs having Steve with John.,

And make no mistake about it, teams will be trying to do so for years. We will see if the jolt of a trade wakes him up enough to start being coachable.

Because Baldwin still might have a future with the team. You want him playing every day no matter whether that is Chicago or Charlotte. If you want to adjust the roster, fine, but Baldwin should be starting 5-6 days a week.

It's negligence, that's what it is.

One for every person who pays to be there! [the good news is this joke works in Chicago or Oakland.]

This is a troll play, by a troll radio station, by a troll radio personality. I do wish we had people who didn't stoop to the level of giving this guy any legitimacy by acknowledging his existence and giving pseudo credibility to him by treating him as worthy of being responded to.

This right here. if you didn't maximize a trade return for Fedde, his signing was pointless.

-Eloy was getting his 1/$16 option declined in three short months. He is the definition of an expiring asset. If the Sox really want him back, they can bid on him in free agency, just like the rest of MLB -Kopech is one year away from free agency, and is entering his final year of control While you can absolutely make the argument that the deal they put him in was bad, the actual action of moving him was not the wrong move. He's making $3 million this year as a mediocre and undependable reliever, and that number is going up next year. He also flat out said earlier he wasn't listening to White Sox coaching. -I wasn't thrilled with the Cease deal, and would have rather held on to him until this deadline, but again, look at this team. Keeping these guys together got us 101 losses last year. By the time his two years are up, do you see the Sox being able to be a playoff team? I sure as hell don't. if not, Cease, and anyone else under short to medium term control should be getting moved to maximize assets into this system so that we have a chance when we actually get enough talent together years down the road to have a chance at winning again. That is not happening in the next 2-3 years for sure. Throw Luis Robert and Garrett Crochet into this bucket as well. Get everything you can for them and look at 5-7 years down the road. This team has zero chance at doing anything good soon.

1. He's always hurt, so you can't plan on him being 100% as he has been available for less than 50% of his teams games over the last 6 years. 2. His injury history might actually be taking away from his game. Hitters need their legs to hit, and with repeated injuries, they may never be the same again. 3. If Eloy had value at 1/16 , teams would have given something up to get him, without needing the Sox to send cash for him. The Sox got a AAA reliever and still had to pay all but $2 million of his remaining cost. Prorated that works out to 1/$6m for a full season.

That's fine, but it is too bad they aren't playing. It would be fantastic to see some of these guys in a pick up style format. Forget all of the pick and pop basketball of 2024, let's see that atheticism on display.
