I doubt any big changes are coming. La Russa is staying. He has a 3 year deal. Hahn will stay because the team is really good and I doubt he wants to move. Kenny is in a great spot too. Business as usual.

I doubt the Mets would be interested in Ken Williams. Rick Hahn could have the gig tomorrow if he wanted to move the family though.

Absolutely man. Totally agree

Dave Dombrowski would be my first call

I don't disagree but what do you do when this guy is catching? Do you play Yaz at DH? How do Abreu, Eloy, Vaughn and Sheets fit in in this scenario?

I would accept it and try to trade him. I think they should be spending a lot more money though regardless. If his $15 million stops them from doing something else, they need to decline it probably.

I'm always a process over results guy. The trade deadline was fine. It just didn't work out. The value was fair and the targets were the right guys.

Of course not. They took the best offers but teams also don't want players who don't want to be there. This stuff matters at the deadline.

Kimbrel wanted to stay in Chicago because of family reasons.

It shouldn't be cancelled. It should be called Indigenous People's Day though.

I hadn't heard of him before Jesse Sanchez's write up but it's exactly the type of signing they should be making every year. I'm told it's about $1 million.

White Sox are in a weird spot. They should have somewhere in the neighborhood of $5.3 million to spend. $3.7 million of that is committed to Oscar Colas and Erick Hernandez. They should have just over $1.5 million to play with and they likely have some signings already in the $400-$600K range that I don't know of.

The draft order doesn't change. It goes by regular season record.

This just isn't true though. I was paying like $200-$230/month for the triple play with Comcast. And I paid for Prime and Netflix anyway. Now I do Comcast internet, youtube tv and the Hulu/Disney/ESPN bundle along with Netflix and Prime and it's much cheaper still.

Well I think they thought that Zavala was more useful. Now they're bringing back Collins because Seby stinks too and it preserves Collins' option status and makes him much easier to trade this offseason

Collins needed to return so that the White Sox could preserve his option status. He didn't spend 20 days in the minors so the option doesn't count. He'll have an option remaining coming into the 2022 season now.

You're excited for him to get to stateside? Was he promoted and I missed it?

The guys in the top 30 are Jason Bilous, Kade McClure, Lenyn Sosa and Luis Mieses. It's college players from the 2018 draft and international players from 2017.

I don't think Yermin plays another game for the White Sox

I'd assume so. Maybe Kyle Crick gets a look.

La Russa said they'll be carrying three catchers

Colas is signing for $2.7 million.

It's right here: https://www.futuresox.com/2021/08/23/just-missed-prospects-just-outside-the-midseason-2021-top-30/

Hernandez is expected to be a bonus of $1 million FWIW

I've always been skeptical of Rodriguez's plate approach. He's super aggressive. I need to see it not get exposed at higher levels before I move him in front of the pitchers. Those are just my personal feelings though.
