He’s 32 and the team isn’t likely competing again until he’s 35 and washed or close to it. If a division team gives you the best package you freaking take it, at least for him! 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think I would be okay with ONE of them being pitching heavy as long as the other two are position heavy. And I hope the Pham/Kopech moves are position as well.

We need like 7 position players assuming Montgomery and Quero pan out. Almost every trade here on out should be position player heavy IMO. I have zero faith the Sox will ever sign a big bat at big $$$. Edited July 28 by WhiteSox2023 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm more along the lines of only Fedde, Kopeck and Pham being moved at this point with Fedde bringing back mostly pitching. Look at what the Rays are doing right now. They are running circles around the Sox organization when it comes to maximizing returns. Maybe I'll eat my words, but this feels all too familiar like past deadlines where the Sox come up with excuses that the market wasn't there for them.

His performance this year has to be deeply concerning. Quero is a switch hitting catcher who is a solid game caller. Floor for him is a lot higher. If Montgomery doesn’t hit, the profile does not work. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The not trading within the division thing perplexes me. Do they honestly think they are going to compete next season? I mean they might be dumb enough to believe that, but, that would just be exhibit 97 why this is the most incompetent franchise in professional sports from top to bottom. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chicago White Sox Posted July 28 Share Posted July 28 Just now, fathom said: If you can’t hit velocity, you have no shot in the majors The question is how much of that is related to a potential back issue. I don’t ever recall hearing about this problem until the AFL. And it’s not like AA is lacking of pitchers with high velocities and he hit very well there.

If Montgomery doesn’t hit, the profile does not work. i think Law was probably right - hasn't been the same since the back injury. There really wasn't any sign of him being unable to hit velocity before that. Hopefully he can recover from that. But he may not - great prospects turn to crap all the time. The one plus is that he's not changing his approach. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And even if they were contenders, who cares? The AL East teams trade with each other all the time. Schueler had that "we won't trade with the AL" nonsense when he was white flagging it; we ended up with Foulke and a pile of crap instead of the Lowe and Varitek that Boston got for Slocumb who wasn't as good as Roberto Hernandez, not to mention the other players that the Sox threw into the trade.
