2021 Needs for a WS title

Recommended Posts

With Kopeck, Steiver, Lopez, and Rodon fighting for 5th starter spot ..... do we need pitching?

There is an obvious hole in RF that needs to be addressed.... preferably a LH option Joc Pederson?

EE will probably be replaced with Abreu at Dh and Vaughn will take over at 1B

Not sure Colome will be back ..... depends on $$$$$ .... Maybe Hauer takes over as the closer.

Would love to see McCann return again depends on$$$$$$. If he's not back Collins & Yermin will back up at C DH & 1B

Bauer and Springer for me. Lineup without holes and Giolito/Keuchel/Bauer/Kopech + Cease + Dunning fighting for the last 2 slots. Stiever in AA/AAA, maybe used for a big trade if Springer doesn't sign?. See what's out there in FA for relievers, or trade someone like Sheets/Yermin Mercedes for bullpen help.

Nobody tells Abreu where he is going to play. He is The King.

Bauer

Then trade for one of the mets outfielders.  Id prefer Conforto but he only has one year left so cant give up much unless hes willing to sign an extension and forego free agency (would adolfo+sheets/burger get it done?).  Mcneil or smith make more sense, at least if you believe smith can handle a full season in right field.

This x100. If the Mets are smart they'll have a firesale. See if you can nab Nimmo from them. Maybe it takes Stiever + a lower level prospect. He is a perfect fit on this team.

I'm curious why Nimmo? His career numbers aren't even that good.

Id prefer mcneil personally but nimmo would be a big upgrade.  when healthy in 2018 he put up a 4+ WAR, and if this was a full season hed be on pace for about a 3.3 WAR.  Hes also got several years of control left.  hes a solid player that is just entering his peak years.  But really any one of the four of them would be nice to get.

What if we win it this year ? Abreu will be the primary 1st baseman next year. You can count on that. Rodon might get non tendered if he still wants a chance to start . I'd tell him he's going to the pen and if he doesn't like it Non-Tender him and see just how many teams want to give him much of a chance to start with his injury history.Who knows they might give Mazara another shot in RF though he is a non tender candidate too. Colome isnt pretty but pretty good save percentages over the time the Sox have had him but he probably tests Free Agency like McCann. Sign Bauer and now you have Cease, Dunning , Kopech and maybe even Stiever and Lopez to go along with Gio, Keuchel and Bauer at the top. That's 8 starting pitchers so some will be in the minors for a bit or the pen like Stiever, Kopech , Rodon or Lopez.

Really still too much up in the air about next season to make determinations now. Bullpen will probably need some help . Right now it's the weak spot but the starting pitching has been surprisingly good all season.

Thanks for the feedback.   I wasn't sure,  i don't have the time to watch as much baseball as most on here. I make enough to watch the sox anymore ?

Has a year left, definitely worth keeping IMO, even in a lesser role...if this continues next year then we can entirely move on

He'd get paid something like $6 million if he was offered arbitration. He'd get what, an invitation to spring training and maybe a deal where he's released if he doesn't make the major league team if he was a free agent? If the White Sox have $6 million to spend, which isn't guaranteed at all - there will be better ways to spend that money.
