Kolek planning to go pro
Sox need a bat and reliever still. It’ll be very interesting to see what they do with Andrew Vaughn.
Jeff Passan is reporting Dallas Keuchel to the White Sox.If true ...
Why do anything with Vaughn?
My gut feeling is they’re making a trade soon.
Agree with pretty much everything buck said.One name he didn't mention is Mookie Betts, but I'd give up a prospect like Madrigal or Vaughn only if Betts signed an extension as part of the trade.Speaking of the BoSox, rumor had it they wanted Madrigal AND Vaughn for Price and Benedetti. Woof.
I don't think you understand exactly how good Mookie Betts is. I wouldn't trade him for both those guys if I knew I could sign him to a 8-10 year contract, let alone throw in Benintendi.
Ryu reportedly to Toronto - 4 years, 80 million.
I was told this would be an incentive-laden contract. Mr. Boras has done nicely for himself this offseason
White Sox reportedly signing Encarnacion. 1 year/$12 million.
The White Sox have become relevant again, and that is exciting for the city.
Yeah...heard that before. Believe it when I see it.
The White Sox have become relevant again, and that is exciting for the city.Can't imagine McCann-- in a walk year following an All-Star appearance, is too excited about Grandal taking his catching reps and EE platooning at 1B.I think I'd rather they go after Puig, who can actually play a position. But, it's hard to say the Sox aren't trying, which is all you can hope for.
Maybe they are going after Puig, as well.Mark FeinsandVerified account @Feinsand 22h22 hours agoMoreAccording to sources, the White Sox remain engaged with the RF market despite this month's trade for Nomar Mazara. Yasiel Puig appears to be a primary target.
I have to say, I'd be surprised. Mazara is fine for your 7th or 8th hitter especially if he is being platooned with Garcia. Puig probably isn't worth the trouble, and really, I'm not sure why he'd want to go to a team where his role is the short side of a platoon.
That would seem like an unnecessary move. Would prefer Hahn focus whatever resources he has left on the bullpen.+100 on your previous post. No guarantees that what the Sox have assembled ends up winning anything, but this is the first time since the late 80s Sox fans have had legit reason to be optimistic about long-term success built primarily around a core of players who've come up through their system. 2020 success may depend a lot on guys like Grandal, Keuchel and EE, but longer term it'll be because Moncada, Robert, Eloy, Madrigal, Vaughn, Kopech, Gio, Cease, etc. are who we hope they are
Totally agree. I give Hahn credit for executing a successful rebuild
Little early to be calling the rebuild successful.
