DirtySox Posted July 30, 2022 Share Posted July 30, 2022 (edited) From the AL Central trade piece. Quote Fegan: I haven’t found a single scout who thinks the White Sox have the farm system to get beyond the rental market, and that includes some defenders of a prospect group that was regarded as the worst in baseball in spring training. It’s a big accomplishment that the Sox have developed a legit top-50 prospect out of a late first rounder like Montgomery, and that Colás could have top-100 buzz by the end of the year at this current rate. But they also don’t have the impact prospects of that Castillo haul in the organization, let alone enough to cover multiple needs. The rental market could do plenty for them, as they specifically need a lefty reliever and a lefty platoon bat in the here and now, and even pulling that off could make them less vulnerable in specific matchups. But Rick Hahn was openly lamenting the supply (which correlates to price) of the starter market, and they ultimately could live without adding José Quintana as a depth option if there’s a desperate run on him. It looks like they straight up won’t be able to afford Frankie Montas at this current rate, since they weren’t able to line up on something this spring when their need was more acute. Put me down for the Sox landing a reliever (maybe a second-straight bold play for another impact right-handed setup man) and a left-handed corner bat, but nothing that significantly lifts the burden off the team’s core. That should probably be encouraging for the Twins and Guardians, who have been watching said core underperform for four months. https://theathletic.com/3462875/2022/07/30/twins-guardians-white-sox-trade-deadline/ Edited July 30, 2022 by DirtySox Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We are halfway through our contention window and we have no playoff success and a terrible farm. By now, most recently successful rebuilds produced an LCS or World Series by this time. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Apparently, Bruce Levine was hinting at major changes coming this winter. It seems like they're about to pull the plug on this core. I think TLR steps down, but Hahn and KW remain. Players with value and no control will get traded. Edited July 30, 2022 by Jack Parkman Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When it comes to the White Sox, the people that have the best sources are Bob Nightengale and Bruce Levine. They're shitty everywhere else, but they're accurate about the Sox. If Bob or Bruce says it, It's probably true. Edited July 30, 2022 by Jack Parkman Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Trades sure but it will be to compete in 23, not start a 5-7 year rebuild 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just wish they would fire la russa/ hitting coach now just to see what effects would come out of it in the second half... that is really valuable information we are leaving on the table. 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They will hopefully overhaul the roster and find a way to keep key players healthier, but this team isn’t getting ripped to the studs. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NCsoxfan Posted July 30, 2022 Share Posted July 30, 2022 It’s always looked to me like the White Sox lack a process and analytical rigor. Major decisions are probably made by RH/KW “gut feelings” and it’s ridiculous. These guys need to go. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
