Chicago White Sox Posted July 30, 2015 Author Share Posted July 30, 2015 QUOTE (Frank_Thomas35 @ Jul 29, 2015 -> 10:21 PM) Is it odd that there is nothing out there about what our plans may be? Is it a sign that we don't know what to do becUse the fact that there really is a lot of supposed friction in the FO? Or is it how Hahn does it when negotiating? Or do you all think they stand pat and let these guys play out the season? Even the normal inside guys on here are quiet. Just odd to me I guess with two days left. Probably quiet because we went from likely sellers to potential buyers so quickly. I would expect a ton of rumors tomorrow though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nitetrain8601 Posted July 30, 2015 Share Posted July 30, 2015 I would honestly add two bats if I want a legit chance at competing. Puig will always be my first option. I don't think he's traded though without two starters going out or 1 starter we need and a hot prospect. The point is that we are buying now. So I would try for both CarGo and Justin Upton. We need protection around Abreu. And just DFA Adam LaRoche. Eaton Cabrera CarGo Abreu Upton Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Baron Posted July 30, 2015 Share Posted July 30, 2015 I think 1 bat and 1 pen guys is fine. If Carlos Gomez only costs what we just saw then we should definitely go after him. That was cheap. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bigsoxhurt35 Posted July 30, 2015 Share Posted July 30, 2015 Tomorrow will be Kennys day. You know he's seeing all these deals with some ahead of us whom were competing with. He's going to make a splash tomorrow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bigsoxhurt35 Posted July 30, 2015 Share Posted July 30, 2015 Gomez is too pricey. CarGo is most likely IMO unless we can snag Puig. Maybe even get in a three way with Detroit for Cespedes Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pettie4sox Posted July 30, 2015 Share Posted July 30, 2015 (edited) Man the Sox are on fire. They have to be the best baseball team of the past week. It should be an interesting deadline but I would not want to be in a GM shoes. Personally I'd white flag the s*** out of this.

However, this idea becomes pretty pointless if we upgrade RF and let Avi platoon with LaRoche. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They played so badly for such an extended period of time, there's no law that says they can't ride this great pitching staff to eight weeks of excellence. I can see why they'd stand pat or try to add just one bat. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
