Marquez has a 6 ERA at Coors.

Haha that is so White Sox.

Jazz Chisholm could be on the market

Looks like Boston is going to sell

And a good reason for why the Nats wouldn't want him.

This reminds me of this tweet

I don't know if it makes a whole lot of sense for them to trade Skubal. His peripherals are excellent despite his recent struggles and he still has 4 more years of control after this year. Do the Tigers not think they can compete in the next 4 years? I know this year has been a setback, but I don't think they need to start from scratch again.

This guy probably read the FanGraphs article about possible trades.

Luis Robert's Tragic Illness could the the name of a new White Sox blog.

Take Colas out of it and it's bit easier to stomach. The Sox just drafted a ton of pitchers. Losing Vera would suck, but there's at least more arms in the system now.

When Joc missed that line drive by Sheets against us, it was the most White Sox thing an outfielder could do. He belongs here.

I wouldn't put too much weight on a 60 game sample. That was also Reynolds' 2nd year in the majors. He's probably not as good as he was last year but nowhere near as bad as he was in 2020.

That is true. But I think he'd still be on an innings limit for the first few years if he becomes a starter.

Hahn's definition of growing a pair is to find the best reliever available and overpay.

Crochet only has 4 years of control left. And one of those years is going to be him rehabbing and maybe getting stretched out to be a starter. So any team getting him really only has 3 arbitration years with him.

Hahn grew a pair last deadline and we ended up with Kimbrel.

Cole was an Astro for 2 years. The Pirates got Musgrove and Moran for him IIRC.

Kwan fell over trying to jump for a ball off the monster. I can't believe we let that guy kick our ass.

I might go watch him pitch at Round Rock just for some laughs.

Eloy did just hit 2 homers in his last 2 games. Granted they were on hangers, but we need to take home runs however we can get them. I think if he can actually stay on the field for these last 2.5 months, he has a chance at rebounding. You just have to hope he tries to pull the ball more so he can unlock more of his power.

His run defense grades have always been bad. He's fast and he's solid in pass coverage, but he gets eaten up in the run game.

Yeah that's another big issue. They're last in walk rate in baseball. If they're going with this dink and dunk approach to hitting getting guys on via walks helps out a lot.

He went through something similar last year. I think it took until the Cubs series at Wrigley for him to figure it out. IIRC, he did almost pull a homer early in the year against Tampa but Josh Lowe robbed him. He does hit line drives to LF, but it really seems like he just doesn't drive the ball with authority to LF like he does to the opposite field.

Right. The Guardians make a lot of contact but they also have fast guys like Rosario and Kwan who are willing to run hard and aggressively. Meanwhile, our guys pull hamstrings running down to 1B.

To be fair, I don't think the White Sox are stupid enough to not see what I see. They had a plan that they thought would work, but injuries and circumstances out of their control like the deadened ball and cold weather early in the year put a huge damper on that plan. In the future they need to adjust the plan and stop muzzling their big power hitters.
