I was looking forward to both teams being competitive and I was excited for some storybook crosstown games. But if only one team can be good, I'm glad it's our Sox. The White Sox actually need some of those wins to chase down Houston and Boston. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They'll build around Contreras. This is now a White Sox town. The Cubs now are doing what I was so against the White Sox doing. The tank thing while rebuilding several years. Hard to believe the Cubs are yet another Chicago team (Bears, Sox, Cubs) to get just the one title out of that unit good enough to win it all. Cubs remain the most embarrassing MLB team from 1960 to now. Sox need to pull a Blackhawks and win 3 in coming years baby!

Soxnfins Posted July 30, 2021 Share Posted July 30, 2021 (edited) Being frank, Cubs actually did a solid job in the start of their rebuild this deadline.... I think they may be a fun team to play in the future.... PCA/Madrigal (granted I'm not the highest on him)/Alcantara is pretty solid... Have to give credit where credit is due.

Why wouldn’t they trade them? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They'll build around Contreras. This is now a White Sox town. They extended him? Didn’t they learn from Mauer and Posey (up until this year again, where he had a full Covid rest year) contracts about catchers nearing late 20’s or early 30’s? And Contreras isn’t quite as good a hitter as Sal Perez. Will be interesting to see how that works out for them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Look at Ray Ray Run Posted July 30, 2021 Share Posted July 30, 2021 (edited) Anyone who thinks the Sox didn't get bent over in their trade after seeing this one have lost their damn minds. That said, Bob is a moron. I'm like 100% sure it's Alex Canario. Edited July 30, 2021 by Look at Ray Ray Run Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
