GREEN = Minors

 

[CabanaBoyKen]

I believe Adam Duvall should be green.

 

[philthepat]

Yes he should! Recycling is important...

(Knew I'd miss one... heh)

 

[Takket]

fire kluber into the sun





is that harsh?

 

[philthepat]

So you don't think we should pick up his $11m team option then? ...

 

[Takket]

I’ll pass.

 

[CabanaBoyKen]

So let's try and jump start this thread to discuss possible moves for the team over the winter. It's rumored that the White Sox will still listen for offers on Dylan Cease this winter. How about this for a proposal:
Red Sox send Kutter Crawford, Nick Yorke, David Hamilton and a lower "lottery ticket" type pitcher to Chicago.
White Sox send Cease to Boston.

 

[DemonessBaby]

I like the sound of Dylan Cease coming to Boston.

 

[philthepat]

I'd love to get Cease for that deal for sure. The ChiSox will certainly be selling this offseason.

I'd love to get Cease for that deal for sure. The ChiSox will certainly be selling this offseason.

It seems like a fair deal to me. They get a more controllable pitcher with some upside potential, a highly rated 2B prospect, a young player who cracked the majors this past year who can play in the middle infield and a wild card type player. If they don’t see themselves realistically being in a position to be competitive in the next couple of years that’s a pretty good potential return for 2-3 years from now.

 

[philthepat]

That is certainly the exact sort of trade the Sox should be looking to try and do, whoever the next CBO is.

 

[philthepat]

Justin Turner declines his player option and the Sox decline their team option on Corey Kluber. Both are now free agents.

 

[HarpoSF]

Will James Paxton get resigned? When he was healthy, he seemed to do okay with the Good Guys.

My guess is no. They need someone more reliable to give them innings. Unfortunately with his injury history they can’t count on getting that from him. Some team capable of taking that gamble may luck out but the Sox simply can’t take that chance.

 

[HarpoSF]

(Where is Chaim Bloom when you need him?!)

 

[philthepat]

Updated:
Justin Turner, Adam Duvall, Justin Garza, Corey Kluber, Adalberto Mondesi, Joely Rodriguez and James Paxton all elected free agency.
Wikelman Gonzalez and Luis Perales were added to the 40-man roster to protect them from the Rule 5 draft.
Logan Gillespie was claimed off waivers by the San Diego Padres.

 

[philthepat]

Updated on 30th December. Added Giolito even though he hasn't officially been yet.

 

[philthepat]

01/03/24: Lucas Giolito and Max Castillo added, Mauricio Llovera has been DFA. 40-man roster is now full.

 

[HarpoSF]

Why is Chris Sale still on the list?

Why is Chris Sale still on the list?

Because it's hard to say goodbye...

Also: oops.
