So LA gets a comp pick out of it too. Even better.

And Minny still only gets Maeda for Graterol? I can live with that.

Wasn't NOT St*ve just tweeting about the White Sox getting involved in the now complete Betts deal?? I have no doubt that the Sox are in on Colas, but do not believe fake St*ve has any real info.

Doesn't solve the other side of a Mazara platoon. Takes the roster spot of a more versatile defensive backup. How exactly does he fit?

Does NOT St*ve read this board and then just throw shit out on Twitter? Not sure what Maeda does for the Sox at this point vs what would have to given up. Same goes for Joc if his previous cost was Bummer.

I'm scratching my head too. Seems like a desperate win now move.

I love the Batterman logo and the classic Sox, but overplayed they clash hard. That is really poor design.

Yikes. Just, NO.

This was a really good read. Nice to see the org trying to get ahead of the curve with analytics & player development.

I mean, that's honest at least. Sox need a capable defender to backup SS & 3B and everyone knows Madrigal will be the eventual starter at 2B very soon. Can't blame any FA that isn't ready to commit to that yet.

YES PLEASE! The 59 cap is my favorite Sox logo, on par with the current classic.

I think the Sox black on black players weekend looked bad ass, but totally didn't like the look on other teams. I would love a new Alt/Sunday jersey personally. The 83s were fun for a while, but now they feel old and tired and representative of some really bad rebuilding baseball. This young squad needs a fresh new Alt jersey.

My hope for Eloy is that he spent the winter working in LF to improve his D to the point where he less of an injury risk. I don't expect gold glove, but he must stay healthy. His bat is far too important to be missing chunks of time on the IL.

13 probably a little low, but perhaps fair due to question marks and lack of track record. But real curious to see which teams made the list above the Sox. edit: yeah, that list is real bad.

I don't think it changes anything regarding Madrigal. Unless he makes it 1000% obvious he is ready out of Spring Training, no one really has a case to argue against him spending a few more weeks in AAA.. It might make other teams be more careful with how they handle service time with guys that are obviously ready, but I'm just speculating.

Not really surprised by this. Curious how they try to move forward.

I love Leury, but I don't want him playing SS. Sox need a more capable back up SS/3B IMO.

If the Sox win because of Renteria and not despite as I believe they will, I will eat my skepticism. Until then, I reserve the right to be critical.

I'm against training away Dunning with so many other question marks around the pitching staff.

I just think he has a lot to prove as an in-game manager, and how he manages with real talent will say a lot.

Waiting on Yolmer might be why they haven't signed another Util INF yet?

Do you trust Renteria to not over play him, because I don't. You could be totally right about his role and he's a good fit for it, but RR worries me with certain guys.

Was about to say the same. I wish Yolmer the best, but he has had 600+ games to show he could hit enough to be a regular. If he had come up in a different org that didn't suck before going full rebuild he probably doesn't even get half of those games. It was time to part ways. His glove is good enough to keep him on a roster for his quality defense, but its pretty obvious no one was knocking down his door with a starting spot.
