La Russa said they'll be carrying three catchers

Colas is signing for $2.7 million.

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.

I put him in our just missed. Back end starter potential

White Sox claimed him on waivers this past offseason and then outrighted him before the season.

Here's the top 15: https://www.futuresox.com/2021/08/25/top-30-white-sox-prospect-rankings-midseason-2021/

Guariman is from Venezuela. Still has been solid though

This is one of the absolute worst takes I've ever seen on this website and that says a lot.

Rankin and I had Josh Norris on yesterday and he said the White Sox system is pretty firmly at #30 right now but for all the right reasons haha They paid Kath like the 40th best player in the class and that's right in line with his talent level. Sean Burke was ranked in the top 60 by some publications so giving him $900K was necessary to slide him to #94. The strategy was fine.

Velocity is back. Pitching in Charlotte is hard.

Not yet

Probably just Romy Gonzalez I’d think at this point.

Adolfo is out of options in the spring so he'll very likely be in another organization

I don't think they have the money to land Prieto because they're committing $2.7 million to Oscar Colas and only have just over $5 million to spend. It is what it is. The White Sox don't have the 40-man space to protect him this winter any way and he likely gets taken in the Rule 5.

Apparently Norge Vera has some sort of minor injury

Rocker wouldn't sign for slot value. They agreed to a deal at $6 million. It's a different situation. The Mets still should've signed him because that's a bargain but no way Kumar would've taken slot. The guy that got screwed was Jud Fabian. He was asking for $3 million. Baltimore was going to take him and pay him $3 million. Boston drafted him and offered him just under $2 million. He turned it down and now has to return to Florida. That really sucks.

It converts to a club option.

No predictions from me. I thought they’d land Eduardo Escobar. Made too much sense. No idea what they’re doing.

Doesn't make sense to do it until after the deadline

By resources he meant money. That’s not the problem.

The box score is an error. Shilling is having Tommy John this week fwiw.

Why though? They have the $6 million. Do you believe in the player or not? It makes no sense to possibly sour the relationship over peanuts. He's likely going to be worth multiple millions in value very soon.

Sure but they underslotted everyone so it's a pretty shitty draft class due to planning to go over at #11
