Dick Allen Posted June 10, 2021 Share Posted June 10, 2021 Just now, bmags said: To date the sox have been right in being conservative in additions. So I'd get it if they did it again. But obviously I would enjoy an upgrade, this team is too good to take chances on a few too many injuries depriving us of the post season. They have a lead, and some hope the players return. At the deadline, there may be a little more pressure on them if the race is tight, and the injured guys aren't progressing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't want to see a combination including Leury either. I don't want to brush my teeth when Im falling asleep at midnight. That doesn't mean it's not what's best. The important thing is our pitching is carrying us and Cleveland could conceivably sell. With their awful ownership they could be 3-4 games back and sell J-Ram. Point being, we shouldn't do anything rash. Edited June 10, 2021 by raBBit 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dick Allen Posted June 10, 2021 Share Posted June 10, 2021 (edited) Right now, they are pretty much the 2017-2019 White Sox with a much better rotation and Liam Hendriks. Edited June 10, 2021 by Dick Allen 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even with the Sox injuries. I would not be going after the high end names to where we have to give up a significant piece for the future, because at the end of the day that’s what the Sox nucleus is still built for. Being good for a long time. Giving up on a guy like Crochet could have a lot of ppl kicking themselves. The guy has electric stuff. Especially with Lynn and Los FA looming.

Eminor3rd Posted June 10, 2021 Share Posted June 10, 2021 Sox should wait. Given how few assets they can afford to use (both money and prospects), they need to brace for a bigger hole to open up. For example, if a starter goes down, the drop off is much more severe than from Madrigal to Mendick Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ah, but isn't that enough to make the playoffs and when Madrigal, Eloy and Robert return, isn't that enough to make a run in said playoffs provided they do something to shore up the bullpen?

I would think so. If they had fewer injuries, the race would be over. There is going to be a lot of weight on the pitcher's shoulders. If the Sox can avoid some bad injuries there, they should be OK.

Chicago White Sox Posted June 10, 2021 Share Posted June 10, 2021 3 hours ago, iWiN4PreP said: Just collecting some thoughts: 2b: Adam Frazier Ketel Marte Eduardo Escobar Cesar Hernandez Thoughts: I have not seen any rumors that Ketel Marte is even on the trading block. Regardless, the White Sox have almost NOTHING of interest to the Diamondbacks in a ketel trade. This is a fantasy (an amazing one). Eduardo Escobar and Adam Frazier are both intriguing, but could be somewhat sought after. I think if Madrigal is indeed down for a while, you definitely make a trade for either of them. OF: Ketel Marte (double) Joey Gallo Charlie Blackmon Starlin Marte Mitch Haniger Thoughts: This is where it gets really interesting IMO. Blackmon should be had for basically nothing. The only reason he isn't a White Sock right now is $$$ and how lame this teams ownership is. Rockies should be willing to give Blackmon up for just about anything. Starlin Marte is IMO the best of the bunch. He should also be cheap, but if enough competition comes out and he keeps raking, his cost could go up which leads me to think that the Marlins are holding out on any trade here until the deadline. IMO, that would be too late for the CWS. Joey Gallo's ship has sailed. Padres have interest in Gallo and there's nothing the White Sox can do to compete with their deals/farm. Haniger is another interesting piece, but I have to admit that I have no interest in him. RP Rasiel Iglesais Richard Rodriguez You offer D-Backs Madrigal plus other things for Marte if you want to get really crazy. Nick is such a polarizing player though so not sure how other teams would view, but there is theoretically some logic to the move. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If Madrigal is out long enough to require an addition, Yolmer part 3 will happen. He is hitting .167 in AAA with a ton of strikeouts. He won't cost anything. And how is he better than what's already here? Nick is a replacement level player, amiright? ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And maybe it has felt more razor thin than it has been, but we've gotten a lot out of the backups so far, and I'm just worried it will add two black holes to the lineup and what that means. But the sox have done excellent in free agency this year and on the margins, areas where they have been horrendous prior. I'm here for the ride, but acquisitions are totally fun so I'll probably lean in that direction. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chisoxfn Posted June 10, 2021 Share Posted June 10, 2021 I can’t believe some people on here are suggesting the club trade Crochet for a 2nd baseman. Ridiculous. This injury sucks cause depth is beat up - but thankfully they have built some cushion and really need to grind into August when reinforcements should be coming. I am totally good getting a piece but I am not trading someone like crochet for a guy who will go back to the bench in 2 months or be a super sub. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
