  1. When people in the industry use the term steep I kinda roll my eyes when “palehosefan321” posting on Soxtalk says the deal stinks.
  2. I wouldn’t turn this down. This team is an absolute disaster. Thorpe is a top 100 guy, Iriarte is right there on the top 100 border. Zavala is a 19 year old lefty with an extremely high ceiling. Walked 94 times last year, power increased each year, steals bases, has a cannon for an arm. people really would rather have snelling and two fillers over this? Insane to me with the state of this organization.
  3. Neither do I but at least you know he’s getting every opportunity to be a starter.
  4. I love this trade. Thorpe is good, they don’t trade for Iriarte if they view him as a reliever so they like something there and that’s an electric arm. Zavala, I think that dude will get into the top 100 here in the future. Slam dunk to me for 2 years of Cease coming off a down year compared to 2022. This is far better than the crap floated around earlier and what Burnes went for. Easy.
  5. Hopefully one of Zavala or marsee are in this too
  6. Oh yeah, boo hoo your favorite team just got a future
  7. The report said multiple notable prospects so hopefully we see soon
  8. Need to hold off until I see the return, or it might be me getting tagged
  9. Great destination, that system is ripe with good prospects
  10. The real win of this trade is the friends we made along the way
  11. That's true, but it certainly felt like he was an afterthought.
  12. Ill never understand why everyone pegged him DOA after 65 at bats in a sunk limp to the finish line last season. I don't know why we invested at all in Maldonado and Stassi when they should have just let Lee take it this season. I guess they gotta keep that "for the fans" mirage going.
  13. If the White Sox were really asking for some of the names or packages that are being floated I imagine a deal would have been done already. Getz is obviously still asking for the moon, and rightfully so.
  14. Yeah I would always take SS, those are usually one of the best athletes. That and CF.
  15. In high level athletics, male athletes ARE superior to female athletes. Not because "women aren't good" but because males are just bigger, stronger, and faster by nature. If this wasn't the case, they wouldn't be segregated into women's and men's athletics. So again, please don't confuse this with "every male is better than every female" because that's not what I am saying. My original statement was in reference to the best athletes in this country in men's sports not choosing soccer, sorry for not clarifying.
  16. Nothing I said was sexist. It wasn't meant to be degrading to women, there are plenty of great athletes that are women.
  17. Literally never heard of anyone you just named. So ive made my point. Also, womens soccer? really. You could find high school boys teams that would wipe the pitch with the USWNT. Don't get me wrong, they are the best in their field but when I said the best athletes in this country, obviously I was talking about males.
  18. Feel like ive been hearing this for 20 years, its the go to response for the soccer lovers. The best athletes in this country don't play soccer, and they never will.
  19. Yeah sorry I have to agree with Balta on this one. Anyone who tweets or posts "Its possible the White Sox trade Cease before opening day" is just wasting characters. Like get the hell out of here with that, no s%*#.
  20. Soccer is the worst thing ever, no one should do anything like they do.
  21. I hope its the Padres, they have some really nice players in their system and it goes pretty deep too. That would be my ideal trade partner.
  22. I would be floored if Getz played hardball all winter holding out and then trades Cease to Texas for a 25 year old utility player and two SP prospects with one of them being pretty underwhelming so far and turning 24 in a month. I mean, that can't be real right. Feels like they could have made a deal like that months ago if that's what they wanted in return.
  23. Didn't they have a ton of scouts at his last start though? That doesn't seem to me like a team with no interest.
