Lillian Posted April 3, 2022 Share Posted April 3, 2022 4 minutes ago, SoxBlanco said: I think the plan is to just wait until the deadline now. See what the team looks like in July and see what other players (pitchers) might be available. Some of our younger prospects might have increased their value a little bit, too. Isn't that risky? Hahn would appear to be desperate, if the team were already dealing with a hobbled, thin starting staff. Claiming to merely be trying to add depth is better than desperately trying to find a trading partner, because you don't have anyone who is available to provide quality innings. So far, all of the starters are still healthy, with the exception of Lynn, about whose status we don't yet know. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But it's also possible the hold a decent division lead early and can "wait" to acquire a starter. But it's all a risk. Or you don't have to worry about any of this and just use money to sign whoever you want...but that ship has unfortunately sailed. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The White Sox not having a window beyond 2023 is 1 of the dumber things typed on the internet today The board is like a contest between Caufield and Jack to see who can be the biggest shit poster. 3 4 2 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I really hope Hahn has an ace up his sleeve here. Hard to think he has an ace up his sleeve when the Sox are pretty close to the CBT since the Kimbrel contract was a wash with the Pollock contract. They are out of Aces in the deck they are playing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Didn't it come to just about $1M gained in the Kimbrel deal ? Or if you are talking about payroll cash then more since the buyout may not count against payroll ?

Pollock has 10 this year and a 5 buyout next year so his is spread out over 2. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I mean I read the whole conversations on it but I never got a clear understanding of what goes under the CBT and what goes under payroll.

Guaranteed money is only $1M different, but the CBT and cash impact is quite bit less for this year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jack Parkman Posted April 3, 2022 Share Posted April 3, 2022 44 minutes ago, Look at Ray Ray Run said: Why would the sox trade Vaughn for mitch Keller? If the Sox were gonna target a pirates pitcher, a cheap shrewd move would be inquiring about JT Brubaker. Because they need a controllable SP more than a controllable 1B/DH. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rey21 Posted April 3, 2022 Share Posted April 3, 2022 (edited) Hopefully the Sox keep loading up on high schoolers in the upcoming draft and sign younger talent during IFA. Edited April 3, 2022 by Rey21 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hindsight is undefeated. Obviously by the Pollack move and being close on Manaea here at the end, the Sox had a plan in place. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yep, the Manaea pursuit may have ended when they essentially only saved a million dollars on the Kimbrel trade. Reasonable chance the 10 million coming back was too much regardless of the asking price. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
