Jerry apologizes for a record setting season of losses. Breslow apologizes for a .500 season. A .500 season would be a success to Jerry. There’s your difference between losers and winners.

Chicago White Sox Posted December 10 Author Share Posted December 10 Mark Feinsand update. Quote It has been assumed that the White Sox will trade Garrett Crochet this winter, and while several teams continue to engage Chicago about the left-hander, there are suddenly more arms becoming available, presenting suitors with other alternatives. The White Sox have received a number of hits on Crochet from clubs including the Brewers, Reds, Yankees and Mets, and while a trade is possible prior to the end of the Winter Meetings, a source indicated Monday that nothing was close. “I’m not sure they really want to make a deal,” one rival executive said of the White Sox, noting Chicago’s asking price for Crochet. “There seems to be more and more pitching on the trade market that teams are motivated to move at this point.” According to sources, those pitchers potentially available include Seattle’s Luis Castillo, Miami’s Jesús Luzardo, San Diego’s Dylan Cease, Houston’s Framber Valdez and St. Louis’ Sonny Gray. Of that group, Gray is the only one with a full no-trade clause in his contract. Castillo is signed for $68.25 million over the next three years, with a vesting option for 2028 if he throws 180 innings during the 2027 season. The Mariners are loaded with starting pitching and need a bat, making Castillo a logical contract to move to acquire an impact hitter. Gray is set to make $25 million in 2025 and $35 million in 2026, with a $30 million club option for 2026. Cease and Valdez are arbitration-eligible for the final time this winter, set to become free agents next offseason. Like Crochet, Luzardo is under club control for two more years before becoming a free agent. Expand 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He wasn't called up because he was performing well at AAA, he was called up because Hahn traded Frazier and open spots meant high level prospects must come up. He had a lot of work to do and a really rough 2018. Expand In 80 AAA games his call up year he slashed .282 / .377 / .823 and was 22 years old.

What more did they need to see from him down there? Expand An .823 OPS in Charlotte is simply not that impressive to me. For a #1 prospect in the big leagues? Dude struck out 102 times in 309 at bats. That's just not great at AAA, that would be among the worst K-rates in the leagues in the big leagues. I'd like to see him actually dominate AAA offensively at least for a month, and I'd like to see him showing signs of controlling that K-rate at least a little. What was his problem in 2018? It was his approach and K-Rate, he was probably the only guy we've ever called up who was too patient, guys could throw him strikes and he still didn't swing. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
almagest Posted December 10 Share Posted December 10 If you don't want to trade impact prospects then you trade for the expensive guys, I guess. Bohm, Casas or Abreu seem like a lot for Castillo unless the Ms pick up his salary. Luzardo you'd be buying low, but he wasn't very good last year. Cease we all know (if the Padres somehow get "more" than the Sox did for him this board is gonna explode). Valdez is a premium starter without a lot of control left. I could see one of Bohm, Casas or Abreu going in a trade for him. Sonny Gray is in his mid 30s and is likely in decline. I don't think he'll fetch much. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It would have to be someone fans have pencilled in, in their minds. Anthony, Meyer and Campbell are the only ones that realistically fit that description.
