Any idea if Busch can actually play 2B, or is he more a 1B type in the long run?

I've actually heard similar rumblings for a few months now that some big names will be moved, was asked by my friend with the contact to not mention anything here, but seems like the cat is outta the bag now.

I believe him yo, I dunno why, but I do...

Hahaha my bad, missed that one yesterday.

Only player on their roster with a non-arb contract.

Well it certainly felt like way more balls than normal died on the warning track for the 2022 Chicago White Sox, maybe Jay Cuda can run some numbers on that.

I can't wait to have a seat at the 2024 Machado table.

Anyone else watch this and get the sense that there’s a big rift in the clubhouse that Hahn is attempting to resolve by trading the assholes? It’s honestly fascinating to watch how dysfunctional this org is and how badly they botched this “rebuild.”

Just seems to be a lot of speculation that something big is happening from a ton of accounts I follow, they're probably all foodie burner accounts to be honest.

ahh missed it, my bad

I saw this tweet from what I believe is an account run by Ozzie and his kids, not entirely sure there, but there does seem to be a lot of trade speculation on WS Twitter the last couple days FWIW.

Pretty sure I made a post here not long ago about Manfred ensuring juiced balls made their way into Yankees games for Judge HR chase ratings.

Yeah, woulda been nice to jump the market on that one. Can't wait til Jurickson Profar gets 5-$100

Is this the Conforto market setter? I was very against a multi year Conforto deal last year, but anything under $20M for 1 year right now makes too much sense for the Sox to pass up, which of course means it won't happen.

Yeah, this is what the site is taking in to account, not a perfect tool by any means, but a free and accessible one.

I actually thought "Outman" was just a nickname for Joey Gallo until like 3 weeks ago.

Yeah, I just went with him to make the page accept the trade since their values balance out.

F it I'll bite, here's a starting point for discussions from everyone's favorite trade simulator.

hahaha yeah, somehow I have to believe 1 of those teams is still the Sox, hell they didn't let a little legal matter factor in to their manager hiring so, why not?

Yanks have solid 2B options, can plant LeMahieu back there every day, shift Pereza over when Volpe is ready to take over SS. I could see them moving Gleyber while his stock is up after a good year. Hard to believe dudes only 25 still.

Agreed, just limits the teams that will be in on him. Some Twitter comments out there about attaching Liam to Yaz to dump his salary, now fully convinced that is the FO plan to make room for Salvy Perez's shitty deal.

Only 2 guys in the league with a higher AAV at the position, 1 being Diaz, who is younger and better than Liam. There's very little if any surplus value in my humble opinion.

Liam's contract is basically exactly market, it's difficult to imagine someone giving up decent controllable talent for a 34 year old closer with an elbow hanging by a thread signed to a market deal. Unless they're absolutely desperate for a closer I suppose.

Haha actually just fired it up on a recent flight, it holds up well.
