flavum Posted November 10, 2023 Share Posted November 10, 2023 Got a week… Candidates? Additions to not be exposed to Rule 5? 40 man is at 35. Any educated guesses would be appreciated. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
South Side Hit Men Posted November 10, 2023 Share Posted November 10, 2023 Below are the players eligible for the December 2023 Rule 5 Draft per FanGraphs. I would assume they will add Veras, Eder and Mena. https://www.fangraphs.com/roster-resource/depth-charts/white-sox Catchers Ivan Gonzalez; Victor Torres; Luis Pineda Shortstop Wilbur Sanchez Outfielders Wilfred Veras, DJ Gladney, James Beard Starters Jake Eder, Cristian Mena, Matthew Thompson, Chase Solesky, Juan Carela, Manuel Volez, Andrew Dalquist, Jose Jimenez. Relivers Caleb Freeman, Andrew Perez, Adisyn Coffee, Jeremiah Burke, Kade Mechals. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Quin Posted November 10, 2023 Share Posted November 10, 2023 Longshot: I can see Carela being added. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChiSox59 Posted November 10, 2023 Share Posted November 10, 2023 I think Matt Foster is the only real non-tender candidate. He'll be just a bit over league min, so depending on how his rehab is progressing, Sox aren't really in a position to be punting off potential relievers. Sox also in not really in a position to non-tender Touki, and I think he earned another look. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sleepy Harold Posted November 10, 2023 Share Posted November 10, 2023 I'd add Eder and Mena and call it a day. I like Veras but don't think another team would select him in the ML portion. There's enough fat on the 40-man that adding him is fine, I just think the likelihood of a selection is low. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Springfield Soxfan Posted November 10, 2023 Share Posted November 10, 2023 My guess is Thompson gets added. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sure that would obviously be a bad outcome in what would further the darkest timeline of White Sox fandom. I just don't believe a team would select and keep a fringey LF/DH on a ML roster all year long. If they add him to the 40 that's great, I like Veras and given the circumstances of the roster there should be enough space, I just don't think he'd be selected. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

caulfield12 Posted November 11, 2023 Share Posted November 11, 2023 Another wasted Friends & Family move to add Elijah. He might have been the only hitter in Sox recently history to be eclipsed by Korey Lee. Caruso and Esteban Beltre ran laps around Elijah, comparatively.

Polar Bear Posted November 11, 2023 Share Posted November 11, 2023 Eder, Mena, Carela, Veras and Gladney are must keeps and will be added to protect them. Only one that I would risk of those 5 is Gladney just bc someone ain't wasting a 25 man spot on him yet, the others certainly could be lost Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Timmy U Posted November 11, 2023 Share Posted November 11, 2023 I'd non-tender a ton of guys off this horrible roster.

poppysox Posted November 17, 2023 Share Posted November 17, 2023 I love Bummer's stuff but enough is enough. He becomes "a deer caught in the headlights" when it matters. That we got some useful pieces is a nice surprise. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bmags Posted November 17, 2023 Share Posted November 17, 2023 I would not tender Romy, too injury prone. On 11/11/2023 at 6:35 AM, Timmy U said: I'd non-tender a ton of guys off this horrible roster.

Still like him, just don't think it's remotely a threat. I agree on a lot, I'd probably lose Romy too. I would also keep Cronin. That's about it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flavum Posted November 18, 2023 Author Share Posted November 18, 2023 Brewers non tendered Woodruff. Yeesh. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Harold's Leg Lift Posted November 18, 2023 Share Posted November 18, 2023 The Reds non-tendered Nick Senzel. I can't believe that dude hasn't hit. He's still only 28 and I still think he has a season where he's able to stay reasonably healthy and his swing is locked in and he puts up huge numbers. I already died on that hill so who cares.

South Side Hit Men Posted November 18, 2023 Share Posted November 18, 2023 5 minutes ago, flavum said: Brewers non tendered Woodruff. Yeesh. There is no incentive to spend more than $100M, really no incentive to spend more than $40M at this point beyond an MLB loss to the players union regarding spending of revenue sharing, beyond the handful of MLB teams each year trying to compete. Brewers are now at $97.4M for the 2024 26 man roster per Cot's Contracts after subtracting $12.5M for Woodruff. Wonder if the Cubs will be the only team over .500 this year in the NL Central, or whether the Cardinals will try to substantially improve to reach that low bar of three Wild Card Spot competitiveness.

Sleepy Harold Posted November 18, 2023 Share Posted November 18, 2023 So your team lost 101 games last season, not by design, and you tender every unsigned player on the 40-man a contract? I don't get that at all. I know people can be DFA'd and traded later, but I'm just confused as to why they ALL got tendered. 2 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Could have non-tendered 5 guys and no one would have given a s%*#. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
