Yea, I'm sleep deprived from our sick newborn and totally misunderstood the tweet that I saw. Carry on.

EDIT: Nevermind, I read this half-asleep and thought the tweet said he is committing to his commitment, not that he was just simply choosing a school like every other HS kid. Carry on.

Lol not sourced, sorry

I have no interest in Casas. Abreu would be fine, because at least he's got an extra year of control, but I would still rather get a stronger package of prospects.

I'm just going off the Morosi report saying the Red Sox have softened on the idea of trading Mayer in Crochet talks now.

Mayer + Montgomery + 3rd piece?

Interesting wink from noted well connected Mariners fan....

Surprised to see Grant Taylor so low because some publication (I thought it was BA, but maybe BP?) said Taylor would likely be a top 100 on the next update. That makes he think he should be top 5 on the Sox from that pub.

Ok, so he didn't get that one wrong yet. And if he does, at least he didn't say some bullshit "I'm hearing the Dodgers and Teo are close" at least he put his whole chest behind that scoop, so if he's wrong, he's 100% wrong.

Where did Teo sign?

No idea how much he's gotten wrong, but according to his timeline he's gotten a few right. Then again, everything he has scooped has been Dodgers related. 3 signings and a trade. All dodgers. We'll see. https://x.com/1MLBinsider/status/1861847923895501195?t=7220NhRfzfU3_xE5ZHAZag&s=19

Alex Bohm has negative value to this team. It would make no sense. I would rather have another couple top 10 prospects instead.

Lol I understand Vargas isn't as exciting as he was 12 months ago, but he was not a DFA candidate, let's be serious here. Colson Montgomery is hitting a wall right now and sliding down top 100 boards too, but you probably aren't ready to say he's worthless now too. I definitely wanted more of a sure thing to heading a Fedde deal, and I'm far from excited about this return, but there is a real chance Vargas ends up being a league average player for us for a few years.

I would love to get Schwellenbach back in a trade.

Yup. Just a "division tax".

Orioles going with half-measures again.

I would take that 1st package all day. ??‍♂️

Wow I feel like no one had that one. Everyone has us taking a hitter. Shocker and unsure how to feel.

I think the Sox will get Wetherholt. Personally I would love for it to be Cags, but I honestly think I would be happy with anyone at #5 that we've heard, outside of Kurtz.

I joined SoxTalk on December 30th, 2007 at age 17 under the name JoeCoolMan24. Then 4 days later the Sox traded for Nick Swisher. I may have cursed us all.

Could the White Sox squeeze a Josue De Paula out of the Dodgers? I find it very difficult to figure out Crochet's actual value to other teams. ??‍♂️

Child? From an admin? Lol this is why myself and so many others stopped posting here regularly. You can converse without being c***y. Or maybe you can't? Either way, this conversation ended right there for me.

Maybe not as a starter, but I would hope whoever drafts him gives a shot to both hit and come in out of the bullpen. Regardless I hope he gets a shot to do both. But even if he doesn't, you'd think that make might have even more dangerous of a hitter since he won't be commiting time working on being a pitcher and could focus solely on training to hit.

I didn't even mention Vaughn in my original comment. All I mentioned was Tork and Cags and said it's not fair to lump them together. Then he said yes it is, because he has been garbage. How does that make any sense?

Cags has been GARBAGE??? What are you even talking about? I'm saying it's not fair to lump Cags into the group with Tork (and Vaughn if you want), simply because they are 1B. That's lazy. Cags has been significantly better than those guys were, and is left handed, oh, and also spends half of his time training to be a pitcher which it sounds like he won't have to focus on as a pro. We also don't really know if he's for sure limited to 1B yet, he just did it to allow him to pitch as well. That's like saying Ohtan is only a DH, instead of the fact that he DHs so he can pitch as well.
