You never know , you might need him tonight. Exactly. And then just option him tomorrow. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If it's that the timeframe it's a grade 2 with some instability. The only surgery would be an arthroscopic cleanup. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

greg775 Posted August 5, 2020 Share Posted August 5, 2020 Too bad Madrigal got hurt. I temporarily forgot about TA being hurt, too. Leury's gonna get all the at bats he wants just like last year. He's a good hitter IMO. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chitownsportsfan Posted August 5, 2020 Share Posted August 5, 2020 OK well this is very good news. That said, it's going to be up to his pain tolerance how well he can play through this until they can go in and clear out the loose bodies this offseason. As always thanks to @ptatc 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EloyJenkins Posted August 5, 2020 Share Posted August 5, 2020 This is almost best case. He will be fresh for the last month push, can stabilize for the playoffs, and get his cleanup and be ready for the 2021 championship season. Sounds okay to me.

he gone. Posted August 6, 2020 Share Posted August 6, 2020 See that the A's are going to release Barreto - would seem to make sense in my mind to explore a trade there. Probably doesn't take much to get him at all, but based on our record we wouldn't be high on the waiver priority. I like Mendick and Leury fine, but if our scouts see anything in Barreto it could be a nice 3-4 week tryout. Former top 50 prospect i believe. All eyes have been on Barreto since he signed a $1.45 million deal with the Blue Jays as a 16 year old in July 2012. That scrutiny only intensified in late November 2014, when he was the key prospect in a deal that sent star third baseman Josh Donaldson to Toronto. Despite the pressure, Barreto has met or exceeded expectations at every turn. After getting a taste of the big leagues last season, Barreto seems on the verge of establishing himself as a big league regular at the tender age of 22. Since joining the A’s before the 2015 season, Barreto has been challenged to play up a level. He spent his age-19 season in High-A with the Stockton Ports and his age-20 season with Double-A Midland. In both cases, he shook off slow starts to put together solid years. http://oaklandclubhouse.com/oakland-athletics-2018-top-50-prospects-franklin-barreto-ss-2b/ 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Texsox Posted August 6, 2020 Share Posted August 6, 2020 Trades will be interesting this year. I can see a whole lot of teams thinking why bother for this season and keep their roster focus on 2021. With so many teams in the playoffs, it's going to add some unpredictability into who you might be playing and how you will match up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We need at least a backup option for the next month.. plus he may have some upside still. Why not! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
caulfield12 Posted August 6, 2020 Share Posted August 6, 2020 (edited) https://theathletic.com/1977283/2020/08/05/do-the-white-sox-already-have-enough-to-win-with/?source=dailyemail Do the White Sox Already Have Enough to Compete With? “With the expectations being, right now, that both Lopey and Carlos will be able to rejoin us here in the coming weeks, I don’t think we will end up going outside,” Hahn said of trading for starting pitching. “If in fact that plan changes in terms of their availability, I do think we’ll have a few other options among our young arms down in Schaumburg that could potentially fill those voids as well. We’re, what, 11 games in? And the trade deadline’s three and a half weeks or four weeks away. So it’s a weird dynamic.” If the White Sox, endlessly speaking of multiple championships and long-term goals before the world went to hell and left them with a 60-game season, will not trade for starting pitching, what would they trade for? They’re loath to rule out anything, but with Nomar Mazara back, Tim Anderson beginning his rehab from a groin strain on Thursday, and already a surplus of 1B/DH bats, the offense doesn’t present obvious needs even before a discussion of how Luis Robert, Eloy Jiménez and Yoán Moncada have led them to a 130 wRC+ as a team through Tuesday.
