YouCanPutItOnTheBoardYES!

Better farm system? Debatable. Better GM? Debatable. Willing to spend? Spending 219 million on Shields and Hosmer was a good idea? Alright...

The only advantage San Diego has over Chicago is the weather. That's it.

I can only imagine what this thread will be like if the signing isn't announced at SoxFest today. Lol.

There's a small part of me that wants to not give up on Fulmer just yet given that he was such a high pick, but it seems like the odds of becoming an MLB caliber pitcher with the Sox are pretty slim right now. A change of scenery would probably do him good. The Sox would be getting Joc out of the deal and they have a lot of other high quality relief pitcher prospects so I guess I can't be too upset about it.

Fulmer, Bummer, and some no-name minor leaguer for Joc would be a great deal for the Sox.

Why would the Sox trade Johnson? His minor league stats are ridiculously good.

If Robert is not part of the future, that would be extremely disappointing.

Here's how I see it. Barring catastrophe, Eloy and Robert are going to take 2 of the 3 outfield spots looking forward. That leaves Rutherford/Basabe/Gonzalez/Adolfo/Walker/etc to compete for the last one. I'm fine with packaging a couple of them together for a young pitcher.

I would much rather trade a couple of the outfield prospects than a guy like Dunning. Maybe that's just me.

White Sox rumors >>>>> school/work

I'm done with class tomorrow by 10 AM so this would be great!

He is literally the perfect fit for this team. The Sox haven't had a good third baseman in so long. And like I said, Manny playing third keeps Anderson at shortstop where he's elite defensively and Moncada at second where his skillset is best utilized. It would be amazing. I'm not sure what it would mean for Madrigal but they can worry about that later.

If nothing else, it seems like Manny would play 3B based on Garfien's tweets which is great. Keeps Anderson and Moncada where they should be.

I agree. They're talking about him like he's already on the team. That seems like a good thing.

I'm going to lose my shit if it's something about Barstool

If true, I think it has to be Pederson. Especially after the Pollock signing today.

Thanks.

What time are the opening ceremonies for SoxFest?

What did he get besides the Herrera signing and Abreu being part of the recruitment for Machado?

Plot twist: Manny will be in Southpaw's costume and then reveal himself during the opening ceremonies to the delight of the crowd.

This certainly inspires a whole lot of confidence. ?‍♂️

Same thing applies to Lucas Giolito. He threw in the high 90's when he was in high school. Now he tops out at like 94.

How does that even happen?

Another wasted pick. Right up there with Tyler Danish and Chris Beck.
