    Nothing on Bauer at all. Sox are one of the teams on Springer. No idea how advanced anything is.

    Jim Callis on the latest Pipeline podcast makes it seem like Rays won't be getting very top of the sports prospects from teams. He says it's financially motivated if they trade him. Mariners wouldn't trade Julio Rodriguez or Kelenic for him so I doubt Kopech or Vaughn would be in play either.

    I heard about Howie Clark last week but couldn’t confirm it.

    No fucking shot. Luis Robert has 7 years of control. The Rays would have to add multiple pieces. Steve Stone is just an asshole on twitter. I laughed at the idea and he asked me if I think they'd be looking for Yolmer and Mendick. No reason to be a condescending douche. I told him that deal would be tough to pull off since Yolmer is on the Orioles now.

    Vold doesn’t have any sources. He’s messing around.

    Nobody is taking Andrus. His option year vests if traded. No shot

    I think the White Sox would be selling at his lowest value point ever which is why I think it's unlikely. Their development people are thrilled with how he looks. I'd be really surprised if they moved him right now.

    I'm pretty much with you.

    Kopech and Vaughn are top 25 prospects in the sport. Vaughn will be a top 10 prospect at some publications and he plays 1B. The White Sox shouldn't be trading guys like that. Spend some of the cheapskate owner's money instead.

    Andrew Vaughn and Michael Kopech are two of the top 25 prospects in baseball. There's no chance in hell that the Rays land both of them for Snell. The dude threw 100 innings in 2019 and 50 in 2020. I wouldn't even headline a package with 1 of them and I understand how awesome Snell is. When your owner is Jerry Reinsdorf and you don't consistently play at the top of the free agent market, you can't trade close to big league ready potential stars. It just doesn't make sense. I'd make a quantity deal with Cease, Dunning, Madrigal etc and if that isn't enough, just trade for Lynn or Musgrove instead. Kopech and Vaughn are too important IMO. I doubt the Rays get 1 prospect ranked as highly as either of Kopech or Vaughn. The problem is the Sox don't have enough guys in that 30-100 overall range prospect wise.

    Jeremy Haber could be in play but it's a lateral move for Hahn.

    Great question. There are definitely guys that sign for under $1 million that turn into absolute studs. The Sox don't do that well enough. Here's the thing though, these trainers have lots of different players. Sometimes a team will sign a guy for $3 million and also get a discount on other players represented by the same trainer so they get more bites at the apple. Paddy could be better and identify better talent. The biggest issue though is that these guys reach agreement at 14 years old in most cases and the Sox generally wait. That's why they're able to capitalize when an Oscar Colas or Norge Vera comes available. They're often one of the only teams with $$ left.

    Marco Paddy met with the media last week and we weren't invited to participate but I decided to write about him anyway: https://www.futuresox.com/2020/11/23/outside-the-spotlight-marco-paddy-adds-to-white-sox-international-infrastructure-despite-challenges/

    What is there to be skeptical of? Arizona placed a guy that the White Sox scouts liked on waivers. The White Sox claimed him. This sort of thing happens every offseason for every team.
  15. Y2Jimmy0
    He’ll be starting in AA and that’s what he should be doing. He needs innings. He’ll likely be up in September and playoffs out of bullpen though.
  16. Y2Jimmy0
    He'd get murdered in the big leagues.
  17. Y2Jimmy0
    I'm expecting Tyler Johnson and Gavin Sheets to get protected.
  18. Y2Jimmy0
    The Sox blogs would love to if we had acces to the audio.

    Stop being such an asshole. Someone boot this clown.

    Was always well regarded as a player. Spanish speaking. Played for lots of teams. Very adept at analytics. Coming from Yankees structure is a benefit. Well regarded infield instructor. Cairo wasn't on my radar but I'm glad they went outside the organization for bench coach and pitching coach.
  21. Y2Jimmy0
    Miguel Cairo as the bench coach is solid. I'm glad they went outside the organization.
  22. Y2Jimmy0
    Maybe
  23. Y2Jimmy0
    I don't think it's a bad salary though.
  24. Y2Jimmy0
    Okay so here's the thing. I saw some confusion yesterday and I'll try to clear it up. I think the White Sox are more likely to trade for pitching if they get an impact guy. They're absolutely interested in George Springer. Will they get him? I have no idea. I'm not sure how soon he even wants to sign but I think the White Sox are approaching it the same way they did with Grandal. Whether it works or not will be determined later I guess. It's insane the number of fake/insider accounts out there right now. It won't dissuade anyone but I've never needed a nonsense account. I just post from mine. I also run the FutureSox one sometimes and one for the track and field team I coach. I don't have time for another account and if I did, it wouldn't be as clever. The Portillos one actually has some solid intel if you go back to last year which is strange. I think everyone should be patient but I know that won't happen.

    I'd give up Nick Madrigal and Dane Dunning in a heartbeat for Darvish. 3/59 is a bargain.
