Chicago White Sox

Oh wait, he’s legit suggesting we’re signing Cruz?

In what world are Lopez & Cease interchangeable?

It’s possible he’s our only guy on the list at that point.

Not sure what you mean by this, but Kyle Lewis is on the top 10 for CFs

Nelson Cruz + Garrett Richards = AL Champions

I don’t know what it is, but I’m just not a big Marco Gonzalez fan.

Agree!

I’m guessing the Sox didn’t have much interest in Quintana and have others (Richards likely being one of them) ahead of him. I really wouldn’t sweat, the Sox aren’t stupid to not add another starter. I’d be much more worried about them not adding another bat.

Agree. I don’t think giving Richards $8M is going to be a problem, I think it’s pretty clear at this point that the Sox are ensuring there is no one more impactful available via trade before they lock in a free agent starter.

Right now, Jimmy Cordero is probably the odd man out in the pen assuming Hendriks, Bummer, Marshall, Heuer, Foster, Crochet, Fry, & Lopez are all healthy. If we move Heuer, Cordero probably gets a job, with Burdi, Johnson, & Lambert all pushing him for that last spot.

Welcome aboard!

As much I’d like to believe there is an ounce of truth to that deal, there is no way in hell that dude is legit...lol

Richards + Cruz would also work ?

Unless we can get Burnes for a Madrigal based package, just sign Richards and keep the ammo for the deadline IMO.

I think you guys are going to be real upset when this Burnes stuff turns out to BS and we end up with my man Richards!

Has the Reddit guy posted anything new?

But that says they’re adding a curveball and still developing the change-up, unless I’m interpreting that incorrectly.

What do you mean he ditched his changeup this year? We are talking about Kopech right?

You’re underselling him here. Plus fastball, plus slider, and a changeup that was flashing plus before injury. Dude was dominant in Charlotte after a rocky beginning and looked like the real in the starts I watched. IMO, he legit has one of the highest ceilings in all of baseball. Now, the fact he’s pitched in 2 1/2 years is a problem if you’re counting on him for innings and he still will need to go through an adjustment phase in the majors, so there is an argument for dealing him for a guy like Burnes but that is simply due to his ability to fit our window.

Said he was zipping his mouth shut and throwing away the key, which suggests something was getting hot & heavy in regards to Burnes.

Dead silence from the foodies...Not Cishek is going to have a hard rationalizing that tweet if nothing materializes here.

The Blue Jays are now above the White Sox in projected WAR per FG after this and the Yates signing. While mostly meaningless, it would be nice to regain second position in the AL ?

You’d rather have him vs. La Stella?

Which one do you sign?
