WestEddy Posted Wednesday at 06:26 PM Share Posted Wednesday at 06:26 PM 1 hour ago, ChiSox59 said: You could theoretically bring him back for a couple mill. Giving him the $5M we would have gotten in arb would have been insane. That being said, just give those at bats to guys already in the org (Sosa, Baldwin, Amaya, etc.). Colson will factor into the infield mix by June too. By the way, does anyone know what happened to Braden Shewmake? After getting demoted early the season, he played of a bit in Charlotte, hit the IL and never heard an update rest of season. Kinda weird. Shewmake injured his ankle in spring training, and was supposed to miss opening day. He came back miraculously quick. Maybe it just gave out in June, and that was it.

He came and gave us a season that was totally in line with his career numbers and he didn't get hurt every few weeks. This was far more than can be said about most of the people on the 2024 team. Bringing him in alone wasn't a problem. Bringing him as a defensive savior and starter was the problem Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is getting more pathetic by the day that we're creating space for a guy who has almost no positives other than being left-handed but is in no conceivable way part of the next playoff team.

Why in God's name would we want Lux at SS for two years before losing him after arbitration runs out? The Dodgers reliably prove where guys like Grandal Vargas and Peralta do and don't belong on the field, but we just disregard their findings because the Sox have such a good record with fixing players defensively. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Likely they already are targeting Montgomery for third and don't have an internal replacement (Baldwin more utility guy), but the main point would just be turning around and flipping Lux for a prospect at some point after his value had magically bounced back to a higher point again.

WhiteSox2023 Posted Thursday at 03:40 AM Share Posted Thursday at 03:40 AM (edited) I’ll pass on having either Gavin on the roster. They are both stinky lefty bats that can barely OPS .700. Definitely sounds like a terrible Getz acquisition, just like the majority of his others, so I wouldn’t be surprised at all if it happens. I’m sure Lux’s bat would boom moving from LA to the Sox, just like Vargas. 🤣 Edited Thursday at 03:43 AM by WhiteSox2023 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Falstaff Posted Thursday at 11:14 AM Share Posted Thursday at 11:14 AM Nicky has value but not on a team like the White Sox. I could see a contending team in need of a late inning defensive player/base runner/ spot starter. I would be surprised if Lopez doesn't get signed. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah if that all happened, you’re looking at around 250 losses over 2 seasons. Might be the case trading Crochet and Robert in good deals regardless.
