Who cares, that’s what the Sox always were outside of 2005. I’ll at least give them credit for trying to rebuild.

Damn, good throw would have got him

That is some little league shit right there

Good lord Vaughn almost got doubled up on that

Just fucking walk him

Cleveland sucks, they have Jose Ramirez and a bunch of no power nobodies I swear we’re the only team they do good against

Sounds right to me

This team is so dead. I wish it was an overreaction but it’s been 94 games of the same shit. We’re no longer overreacting, these guys are just mediocre and it’s so sad because they should have been contenders.

Six fucking pitches

This team is just full of WTP

He made an absolutely terrible cal Stanford joke

Fuck off Benetti

Neither of those guys could hit a beach ball this year

Still a .351 BABIP for the career and hes sitting at .270 this year He will be fine, 27 year old prime athletes usually don't just lose it

Hopefully Grandal is fully healthy now, he’s been killing it on his rehab assignment and we could really use that bat back in the lineup

You gotta be bleepin' me

You cant do that with a traded player.

So we are trading Crochet and Ramos for less than half a season of Aaron Judge?

Eloy, Sheets, Burger, Martin are probably worth nothing to the Nationals as primary pcs. of a trade. Colas, Sosa, and Crochet are probably additional pcs. of a trade. Montgomery is the only one you named that probably holds weight in a deal. If the Nationals weren't demanding one of Vaughn or Kopech in a deal, then they are run worse than the White Sox.

Eloy cant stay healthy and isn't producing. He's also owed $24 million between 2023/2024. He has more value to the Sox hoping he turns it around then trading him. If you're trading a superstar, you aren't looking to get a reclamation project in return.

I like Andrew Vaughn and think hes going to be a real nice player, but hes a glaring odd man out in the current roster and payroll commitment construction. We are stuck with Eloy, Pollock, and Grandal next season. That's an OF, C and DH spot. Abreu most likely comes back with the way hes playing. You see him in the dugout, he doesn't look like someone who is ready to call it a career. Still have Sheets who they obviously love. That's a 1B and DH spot. Assume you are planning out your team with Juan Soto on it. DH is open, LF is open, Robert in CF, Soto in RF, Abreu at 1B Now you still have to find places to play Vaughn, Eloy, Sheets, Pollock, and Grandal and there's only LF and DH open. Currently constructed, Vaughn has no locked position and could realistically be used in a Soto trade. Its not that I don't like or want to guy, its just a great match up. Rick Hahn is also trying to keep a job, and there isn't much more dangerous than a GM trying to keep his job. Look at what Bill O'Brien did to the Texans, woof.

White Sox Get: Juan Soto and Patrick Corbin Nationals Get: Lance Lynn, Andrew Vaughn, Colson Montgomery, Lenyn Sosa, and Norge Vera

Which combination would provide more wins for the Chicago White Sox for the remainder of this year and the next two years. Juan Soto and Davis Martin or Andrew Vaughn and Michael Kopech? Considering that Juan Soto alone provides more wins than both Vaughn and Kopech, its an easy choice for me. Its all wishful thinking anyways.

Man, you guys are crazy. Just from a player standpoint, Juan Soto is a 23 year old absolute superstar.

This is just flat out wrong. Is there any other team that could offer a package that started with two young impact type players like Vaughn and Kopech? They also have an ascending top 50 prospect in Montgomery as well. I would rather take Vaughn, Kopech, and Montgomery over 3 top 10-20 prospects all day. You are right though, there is less than zero chance they could ever extend him.
