Personally, I want a high end reliever, another starting pitcher, and a left handed bat of some kind before even thinking about the backup catcher spot. It’s fairly low on my list of priorities.

Well they aren’t going to get Bauer so I don’t know what other starting pitcher they could even overpay for. Maybe Kluber.

The Sox will probably have to overpay to get it done but I don’t really care.

Foxy bomb

The seemingly light return for Darvish might help the Sox if they go after Musgrove.

Yet another instance of Reinsdorf holding this franchise back because he is cheap.

I’m kind of mad the Sox didn’t beat that offer.

Seeing the Cubs fall apart is so damn satisfying.

So your goal is to win the division? The goal should be to win the World Series. Period.

Kluber scares me because of his injury issues. But I guess it’s not that big of a risk if he’s willing to take a 1 year deal.

Why not bring back Quintana for a year as an insurance policy? We can’t bank on Cease and/or Kopech becoming good pitchers in 2021 as of now for various reasons.

If the Sox thought Howard was the best option, they would have just drafted him. The fact that they didn’t is telling considering he’s a local product with ties to the ACE program. Trading two prospects that are more highly thought of for him doesn’t make any sense.

What would be a comparable White Sox package to what the Padres gave up? Kopech would be the headliner I’m assuming?

This seems good.

You’re crazy if you think those guys are better options than Musgrove.

Musgrove’s talent + Katz’s coaching would have the potential to be amazing for the Sox. Not to mention that pitchers tend to get better once they leave Pittsburgh anyway.

Yeah I already have more faith in the Cishek and Cheesy Beef accounts of the world than that guy.

I’d have to think a “splash” would be Springer since we’re talking about the Mets.

Let’s hope it’s actually a competitive offer and not like the “offer” they made for Machado.

Lol Musgrove is a lot better than a #5 replacement level starting pitcher.

Pittsburgh is obviously blowing things up. Musgrove could be a good fit for the Sox. Thoughts?

I thought something happened given that this thread is hot, only to find dozens of posts of people arguing about nothing. Gotta love SoxTalk.

I thought Ben Badler did

Cespedes obviously isn’t as highly thought of as Robert was when the Sox signed him, but I’m still excited about this. You can never have too much young talent.

If including Jared Kelley gets the Sox 3 years of Luis Castillo, you do it.
