It seems the Sox could have gotten something done easily in this so maybe it is about the money. I am deeply concerned about the rotation. Expand Sure, assuming they wouldn't give up major leaguers as well as Vera, Montgomery and Colas, our Top 4-11 doesn't really compare with SD's 12-30. Hahn is getting too cocky about outsmarting everyone with Lopez and Velasquez. Edited April 3, 2022 by caulfield12 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GreatScott82 Posted April 3, 2022 Share Posted April 3, 2022 If the White Sox want him, the Padres will get him. This is starting to get silly. Unrelated but the Tatis Jr deal set the tone as these rebuilds were pretty parallel with one another. After that, the Sox were linked to these players before SD got them. 1) Machado 2) Snell 3) Adam Frazier at the trade deadline last summer. 4) Now Sean Manaea.
