There's nobody to replace him. Sosa doesn't belong at SS. Just hold for 3-4 months and see where Montgomery and the first round draft pick are...they will eventually replace Yoan and Anderson.

Are you talking about the 2024 first round pick aka Travis Bazzana? Or do you mean this year's pick? Cuz Jacob Gonzalez is a long way from a sure thing.

I think TA will get 14 million if the Sox pick up his option, let him walk and spend the money on signing a decent starting pitcher, we can put up with Andrus another year who at least plays like he cares and shows some life, Montgomery should be ready in 2025. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If he’s anywhere near Corey Seager and the White Sox are 90+ losses bad again…the fans will have to have something to look forward to. And good hitters destroy Charlotte. Just no point at all playing Andrus there and dumping Anderson for $1 million…especially when there is $29 million committed to Moncada and they’re going to ride that out to the end just like they did with Grandal.

Harry Chappas Posted September 27, 2023 Share Posted September 27, 2023 If the price tag is an issue on Anderson then they are in huge trouble as it's a peanuts deal. He obviously needs a change of scenery so pick up the option and hope for the best. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And hope Colson is ready. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stinky Stanky Posted September 27, 2023 Share Posted September 27, 2023 My old paywall hack still works. The story appears for a second or so before the paywall takes over. If in that time you're lucky enough to hit control-P, the story will show up in the print preview window and you can read it there or print it first. Only works on a desktop computer though. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Short-term solution, yes. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DFAthewave69420 Posted September 27, 2023 Share Posted September 27, 2023 Getz had a poker face yesterday. In his mind, he knows what he is going to do. I'd put my chips on the table and bet he is going to blow it up this offseason and start over. Most, if not all of the bad eggs will be gone. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There are people in the organization who believe that Montgomery may be your starting SS on opening day. That means that Anderson moves to 2nd or gets traded.

I think they go with a partial blowup, JR is too old for another major rebuild and I think he's going to open up the checkbook and sign some solid free agents while they rid themselves of some guys like TA, Eloy and a few others. I would like to see Clevinger come back and also Giolito, his heart is with the Sox and he wanted to spend the rest of his career on the Southside.
