Yeah, Jerry's the catalyst for Tatis being gone and Machado not getting across the finish line. Hahn still executed (or failed to) those deals and knows Jerry's restrictions, so there's plenty of blame to go around.

I think Tatis was thrown in to get the Padres to pick up a large chunk of Shields' contract.

RALLY TIME

I remember when there was some rumor of Bummer and Laz Rivera to the Dodgers for like...Pederson? sigh

This is objectively hilarious.

Lynn pitching with a purpose: he wants off the team.

While I'm not gonna disagree on the scouting report for the Sox being exactly what you're saying, we're literally seeing Luis Robert go from "slider him to death" to "baseball god"

Ah yes, a sample size of one.

Only according to Turkish outlets, so I guess not.

Based on a highlight reel, which we all know are absolute gospel, I think we can safely call Bitim a Turkish Lavine.

It hurts that Kelly hasn't been good, because he is super likable. I mean his mariachi jacket is 1) dope 2) has a cool origin story

At least he's around next year, I guess.

I s%*# you not, hyper linking this video and the phrase "Andrew Vaughn moon shots" on a cover letter before he was drafted got me an interview back in 2019.

It is almost White Sox-esque that the Bulls cut Dinwiddie for Cameron Payne/Michael Carter-Williams and then lost Max Strus because of an ACL tear.

You say that now, but once Javon Freeman-Liberty, Carlik Jones, Dalen Terry, Onuralp Bitim, Julian Phillips, Justin Lewis, Adama Sanogo, and Jontay Porter destroy the Summer and G-Leagues, they'll become the next Heat.

I mean yeah, they definitely picked wrong in the Johnson/Semien/Sanchez battle. Omar's a bad example since he was a starter here for 2 years. They just can't work with anyone on defense so they wanted to move on, cause they're bad at coaching. Phegley might be a better example here? Bassitt, yeah, dumb. Toss Montas in there. Luis Gonzalez. There's a lot to choose from. But I'm talking about Lenyn Sosa, Oscar Colas, etc. where they come up and because they aren't demolishing the ball, people want them gone. My dad never wants to see Lenyn Sosa again, but wants Remillard as the everyday second baseman moving forward. Following either one through the minors, you know that Sosa needs at-bats to adjust and that Remy (barring MLB growth) is likely destined to be a utility. Which would be just as cool.

Our fanbase is elite at writing off prospects before 100 plate appearances.

Based on absolutely nothing I feel like they take Bradfield unless someone drops. Fingers crossed for a completely inexplicable, would never-happen-in-a-million-years Paul Skenes drop.

Some team will look at that 16 strikeout game and go "I can fix him"

On the FutureSox pod the other day @Y2Jimmy0 (or maybe Josh Nelson) made it sound like the MLB coaches and the MiLB coaches in the org just operate completely separately with two different philosophies. Which sucks, cause I'd love to see the MiLB versions of Sosa and Rodriguez show up.

Yeah, that's why I picked Grandal over Gio or Lynn (who would be the ultimate Shields comp).

If only he could pitch a perfect game or throw as hard as Chapman.

I hope that they can somehow salvage Crochet and when (or, depressingly, if) he comes back this year - just let him stretch out and build innings. My dad was lamenting the upcoming draft and I told him that Mike Shirley is one of the few people in the Sox org that seems to know what he's doing.

I missed this.

Bring it full circle and see if Preller trades a suped up LatAm signing for Yasmani Grandal in a wild act of desperation.
