Nah it’s imperative to get younger. Those are the guys that other teams want in trades to improve the big league team. The front office is finding that out first hand right now. Younger players have more value. With that being said, if an impact starting pitcher falls to you, they have to consider it at 22.

I think the scouting department wants to go prep-prep and then load up on college arms throughout. I'm just not sure what KW and Hahn ultimately do when impact college pitching is sitting there instead.

I've added a few more profiles. We're running Michael McGreevy tomorrow and Wes Kath on Friday. I think Wes Kath could be the pick.

Great Falls probably would've been the sweet spot for him.

James McCann wasn't an option to return. He wanted to leave. Why are we still doing this?

Disagree. At full strength, the Sox are as good as anyone.

The plan is to add. No idea if this changes things.

If Grandal can make it back by September, the White Sox are fine. They'll win this shitty division regardless. If it's a season ender though, they probably can't win a title anymore

Low dollar signing but you never know

This isn’t really what Heyman said fwiw. Filiponi isn’t correct. Sox aren’t trading Vaughn.

AZL played already today. Cristian Mena is a sleeper in the system. Struck out 8 over 5 IP. Wilfred Veras (3B) and the cousin of Tatis had 3 hits in AZL win.

Cespedes has a shoulder injury of some variety. He’s being held out of outfield work for that reason but they wanted him to get at-bats as soon as the Visa issue cleared. Seems fairly minor.

I've added a few more this week. Probably 4-5 more before the draft on Sunday 7/11

Joey Gallo is the best fit IMO. He'd be so perfect.

I don't think much happens until after the draft. Front offices are consumed with that right now.

Oh FFS

I disagree. Abreu needs an IL stint IMO

No it is. I thought you meant that Sox fans should want to model the Brewers. My bad.

The White Sox don't get the extra draft picks or international space that the Brewers get.

This isn't true. The Rangers insisted on a Vaughn/Kopech type at the deadline and talks went nowhere.

Yeah.

He's the best player on the team, yes. He's a top 20 player in the league in fWAR. Gonna put up a 5 WAR season.

His OBP and defensive ability have made him a top 20 player in the sport despite not hitting for enough power. He's really good.

Pitching and young athletes is my best guess. They aren't trading for guys with 1-2 option years though. They're brutal.

Big media is on it for a reason. I heard that they loved Montgomery like 12 weeks ago. It seemed like a reach at the time. Shirley loves Indiana guys. The kid is transitioning to baseball full time. He's 19 which is an issue for lots of teams but the clubs who like him think the Corey Seager comps are legit and most of those teams believe he can stay at shortstop. Also, it's not that early. These teams wish that they could've drafted already. The amateur scouts are already scouting for next year due to the calendar change that nobody really wanted other than MLB.
