Remember when they said we couldn’t afford Harper and Machado because we needed money to resign our players down the line and here we are down the line and practically none of them are worth resigning.

For what its worth, MLB.com has updated its prospect rankings and they have Quero at #2 and Bush at #5

I can't wait for them to finish making all these trades and then trying to project what the 2024 roster will look like and how in the blue hell they plan on being competitive with that roster.

So would I, but they only did this once in JR's entire reign and it has now epically failed. Its time to get back to the Sox I grew up loving, the ones who just won between 78-85 games a year every year and were never a threat to do anything.

We shipped off two rentals who will be used for approx. 2 months and we got back potential that will be with this team for multiple years. It boggles my mind that people on here aren't ok with this. This isnt Chris Sale, Adam Eaton, and Jose Quintana getting traded with a roster purge. This was expiring assets being moved for something rather than nothing.

55 BB's to 53 K's for a 20 year old in AA is some serious plate discipline. I loved seeing that.

I agree with everything you said above, these guys are prospects and they are now in the hands of an incompetent organization. I would still rather have that then nothing, even if that means the Sox f*** it up and he flames out. The chance of him being a great player for us is always better than no chance.

I just have a hard time believing that KW with one foot out the door has taken over and Hahn has been told hes out, but hes still needs to go pretend to be the GM until the season is over? Does that make sense to you or seem plausible? You know why Rick Hahn looks shook, because he ran his mouth about parades and this and that and now his team is 20+ games under .500 and he has to answer to his failures.

You have every right to be upset and vocal about it. This franchise has done nothing to avoid harsh criticism. They have done almost nothing right at all. I can respect your opinion that they traded too early. I don't see any reason to be upset with the return they did get though. They got a nice main piece as well as a SP the system is in dire need of. Could we have gotten more in a few days? Maybe. I am happy with the return.

There's no pleasing some of you people. Giolito and Lopez were walking away for nothing at the end of the season, best case scenario some comp pick in the 3rd round range. Today, we have a new top 100 prospect and another pitching prospect. For two guys who weren't going to be here. Yeah, we get it this organization sucks.

He’s thrown 1 inning since 7/20 so it’s possible

This is good, I hope they lose every game the rest of the year.

Yeah, if people are striking out nobody is advancing on the bases.

So dumb to start this guy tonight, there was no benefit what so ever to do this.

No chance Burger makes that play at third. Moncada trying to cost Bob a bet tonight.

Actually word around soxtalk is he’s a star

Just pathetic at bats here

I wish the White Sox had enough balls to sign someone like Bellinger. He would look great in RF and if we still stunk another decent trade chip.

Hard to let this mindset go when you won a World Series doing it.

Maybe something is off here but I wasn't saying to just take an offer before his next scheduled start even if it isn't great. I think if nothing happens before his next scheduled start, you skip him until he is dealt.

Giolito is one of the best SP available at a deadline in a big sellers market, he is going to return something or things of value on paper. Doesn't matter who the GM is, the names coming back will be good ones. If they work out or not, that's another story. The other option is to let him walk with a rejected QO and get a pick in the 3rd round range. Bleck, I would rather roll the dice on some players we already have seen professionally.

That would be a horrible decision that is on par for this franchise, so I can see it happening. "Short of an injury" - That's kind of the most important part here, and you can completely eliminate it by not starting him in a meaningless game.

Well, for starters, he was already an All Star for us. You can't pretend to know how a trade will work out. Doesn't matter how bad you think Rick Hahn is at his job. Were not just having a bad year, the future looks grim as f***. Signing Giolito to a franchise record contract is under no circumstance a good move for the White Sox now and moving forward. Resigning Giolito does not solve the mountain of problems with this organization moving forward. Trading him for a max return and possibly getting multiple cheap controlled pieces to help this franchise in the future is the clear best path.

Yeah, there's no way he pitches for the White Sox again. He just threw 5 shutout innings with 9 K's against the current AL Central Division leaders. You put him up on that and say come with your best offers, its now or never boys. Let the bidding begin.

There is no way you can let Giolito pitch again before the deadline. Any competent organization would never let that happen.... ah s%*#.
