Yeah I wouldn't, I'm just saying at some point you worry about next year's problems next year. Specifically if it's a reasonable price for a rental, you're in basically no worse shape going into next year. Arguably you are worse off trading guy(s) who actually hurt just to get an extra year of control.

Since I mentioned JV, BTW, I am curious to see what his offseason is going to look like.

He is going to head into free agency, but I will be fascinated to see what his market looks like now that he is more of a 2/3 than an ace and is no longer dependable in the health department.

I am going to guess year to year contracts now as opposed to multi-year deals, but I also wonder what valuation he will be offered.

20M if he closes the season out strong, I'd think

I'm sure the MLBPA would be thrilled if the White Sox did that.

Crane's valuation will be different that most FOs but I think even he might reach a point. We wouldn't have him currently if the Mets weren't paying half the deal, and he let him walk once. If the number starts in the high teens or low twenties on a one year deal, I would think they at least give it some thought.

I wonder WTF the Cubbies are doing because I wouldn't mind adding Jameson Taillon even if he costs more in prospects.

He's got 2 more years of control at $17mm per.

Wonder if they'd be inclined to take Montero?

Tend to agree with you but there's always hope. Past history shows our front office usually finalized deals at the last minute before deadline.

I hope this doesn't end up being the case. Making zero moves sends a very bad message to the players and fans, especially when you consider where the team has come from and look at what other teams in the AL and division are doing to improve their teams.

There's a whole day left. They will make a move or two.

I'm assuming if they make 0 moves it wasn't by choice.

I rather them not make a move just to make a move.

And just because they don't make a move doesn't mean they're mailing it in. They can still play out as-is, win the division, and make a run with what we got.

Makes it harder but it doesn't mean it isn't doable. Got to remember we're not 3 GB chasing someone and needing to jump over 2 teams.

It'll cost a lot more than that.

I guess going against Skenes is the right game to just go bullpen and hope for something?

It was going to be a quasi bullpen game anyways, so I suppose Scott makes sense. Good thing we brought a fresh Ort up.

Would not be surprised if our bats light up Skenes because that's such a 2024 Astros thing to do. We make 5/6th starters look like Cy Young candidates so why not the opposite

That's fine they will light him up. It's the never Cy Young winners that are untouchable to this team.

Yanks have hit 3 bombs off Wheeler and it's only the 2nd.
