this team has good young startin' pitching.

Usually when ur on the Royals it means ur on ur way out of the league.

But Aroldis Chapman took a step back up and is with Boston this year. Still throws 100mph.

It's going to be extremely difficult to compete if they don't spend money. The current strategy of rebuilding through the minors will probably take at least 3-4 seasons just to see signs of progress. There's little evidence to suggest they would supplement the young roster with anything more than solid players, but they have a ceiling on free agency spending. Even if everything they are currently doing begins to produce good teams in 2027-2029, we're going to be talking about trading any of their young pitchers after 3-4 seasons because free agency will be coming. There's nothing wrong with having a deep minor league system that produces talent, but I think it's false logic to say it has to be all one way.

Garrett Crochet has a no hitter into the 8th.

And now he doesn't. Meidroth, of all people.

Miguel Vargas (116 ba as a White Sox) would be a prime candidate to be pinched hit for in the 8th in the midst of a rally. But there ain't nobody.

Only the White Sox would settle for all prospects and no proven quality MLB player for Crochet. Probably so they wouldn't have to pay him.

Every team in the position where it was logical for them to trade a young, inexpensive, future Cy Young would be trading for prospects. The first of those prospects has already made MLB and a second is right behind him at AAA.

Making it to MLB and being a quality caliber player are two different things. White Sox Crochet haul of prospects could all be future Nick Madrigals or Miguel Vargas's.

Boston did pull off a trade without giving up any their top 3 prospects (to my memory), but most still thought the White Sox did a good job here. The media has taken a liking to Meidroth, but he's, the 3rd best player back in the deal and may not be more than a utility type. I think his hitting (power) is still a question mark, but he's very disciplined and considered to be a smart player. He's new though and should be playing over veteran bottom of the roster types. Let's find out if he's a meaningful contributor to the team. With Montgomery's struggles, this guy has a chance to earn a middle IF spot.

I'd also keep playing Vargas every day. It's only April, and that doesn't mean he'll turn out to be a good player, but it's not as if they have many other options.

Remind me again, how proven is Cody Poteet? I ask because, along with cash considerations, that is the guy who your Cubbies received in return for Cody Bellinger.

Hope the weather is good in AZ, Scot.

Comparing Crochet to Bellinger is beyond dumb.

The Cubs were looking for a team to take Bellinger's contract. The White Sox were looking for a large prospect return.

Exactly. Thank you for explaining to the remedial residency of Cubs fans here in this section that both teams got rid of a player they had no interest in paying.

Just fyi Kyle Teel has essentially forgotten how to play baseball since being acquired by the Sox.

And just in case you were worried that was the worst news—Colton Montgomery is batting below .150 with a 50% strikeout rate.

The Cubs did pay Bellinger. They just did not want to pay him anymore and upgraded by getting Tucker.

Sox have built prospect depth at catcher. 7 more positions to go. Usually they just designate a guy and open the doors and let him through. Shout out to Oscar Colas.

I’d be shocked if Teel or Quero are 1.0+ WAR players at any point in their Sox career.

I don't know shit about them and neither do you. So I'll file your shocking report.
