Ryan Helsey is a poor man's Chase McDermott

When Helsey was 26 he was on his 3rd year in MLB.  Not sure McDermott is gonna pitch to a 183 era+ in MLB anytime soon.

White Sox once again drastically overvaluing their players. 
 

Can you imagine this level of hubris for a guy that barely plays and isn’t playing now?  I wouldn’t trade Kjerstad for him

We have no interest in him anyway, but it’s clear we are not going to be dealing with the White Sox. Much rather pillage somewhere else.

Sure give up your top young prospects for a player who has managed to play over 100 games in a season once last year only to go back to being injured this season.

The White Sox are never going to rebuild with their delusional front office.

I'm not sure I would trade Norby for him.  He's hurt more than he plays.

The package they got for Cease was solid IMO.  Just because their initial asks are absurd doesn’t mean they won’t get a reasonable deal done when push comes to shove.

As a reminder, the Nationals got the following prospects in the Soto deal:

C.J. Abrams -- Padres #1 prospect (#9 overall by MLB Pipeline)

Robert Hassell -- Padres #2 prospect (#21 overall by MLB Pipeline)

James Wood -- Padres #3 prospect ((#88 overall by MLB Pipeline)

MacKenzie Gore -- Padres #4 prospect

Jarlin Susana -- Padres #14 prospect

 

I doubt very much the White Sox will get even half of that prospect haul for Robert.

They can ask for whatever they want. Doesn’t mean they are going to get it. 

But I don’t blame them for asking for the moon. It’s what I would do. Ask for the stars when the real goal is probably closer to the moon.

AJ Preller is stupid.

    • The Braves currently hold the tie break leading the season series 6-5. Bottom line, regardless of what happens tomorrow, the Mets have to win both games of the Mon. Double header vs. the Braves to get in.  
    • Detroit is one of those teams that got hot at the right time. I think they have won 6 in a row and were 9-1 in their last 10. I checked yesterday I think, but getting hot at the right time is huge for the Tigers. I think Texas last season got hot at the right time and they were like a freaking buzz saw.    I picked Baltimore to be a wild card before the season started, but had them going farther in the playoffs. I hope these guys can get it done. 🕊️
    • With either team as the opponent, the key is going to be us.  At full strength, our lineup is just flat out better than either KC’s or DET’s. Not by a little. By a lot. Witt is unreal, and Perez, Greene, and Carpenter are all really good. But behind those guys, it’s a bunch of mostly light hitters that have had their hot streaks (with DET’s being mostly ongoing) that don’t really compare to the depth in our lineup. If our pitching mostly holds up, we’ll win as long as our hitters do what they can do. Both of those are giant question marks, obviously, and the season will hang on the answer our guys provide. But you really can’t ask for much more than an opportunity to go into a series saying we think we’re better on paper than them and we just need to perform — that certainly didn’t feel like the case last year, with the way the Rangers hit up and down the lineup all season.
    • It looks to me like KC is happy to rest and get ready for the Astros with the way they used Witt. The White Sox actually have something to play for...with a win they avoid the worst winning percentage of the 162-game era, although 41-121 is not a lot better than 40-120.  To bad it looks like Detroit can back in at this point with the Braves much more motivated than the Royals.
    • Let's just try to win 1 playoff game before we think about a 2nd round game.
    • How is the extra hitter just "a possibility" for the WC roster? If you can't get through 3 (at most) games with 12 pitchers, you're either doing something wrong or you desperately need to spend heavily on adding better pitchers in the offseason.
