With Chris Sale now off to the Red Sox, Adam Eaton off to the Nationals and rumors of the (very sensible) impending departures of Jose Quintana, Todd Frazier, Jose Abreu and anyone not under the age of 25, the White Sox are officially entering a full-on rebuild for the first time in forever. Their farm […]

White Sox send Adam Eaton to D.C.
White Sox Teardown: Part 2 featured another very good and popular player shipped away for a solid haul of prospects. The White Sox sent Adam Eaton to the Washington Nationals on Wednesday for a trio of prospects, according to multiple media reports. The prospects, Lucas Giolito, Reynaldo Lopez, and Dane Dunning, are all right-handed pitchers […]
Sale is gone – BPSS Roundtable
On Tuesday, the White Sox executed the first and most daring step of long-rumored rebuild: they traded Chris Sale to Boston in return for top-prospect Yoan Moncada, extremely live arm Michael Kopech, a far from irrelevant secondary prospect Luis Basabe and right-handed relief prospect Victor Diaz. While we can look at this package, see a […]
White Sox Have No One to Blame But Themselves
The White Sox made Chris Sale the 13th overall pick in MLB Draft on June 7, 2010. He debuted less than two months later, over the next six years he had developed into one of the best pitchers on the planet. He’ll enter the 2017 season on the heels of his fourth straight Top 5 […]
Chris Sale Traded to Boston
There is a lot to unpack here, and we will analyze this trade to death in the coming hours and days, but Chris Sale has been traded to the Red Sox for Yoan Moncada, Michael Kopech, Luis Alexander Basabe, and Victor Diaz. Depending on whom you ask, Moncada is somewhere between the No. 1 prospect […]
It sure seems like Chris Sale is about to be traded
The Winter Meetings are in full swing over in National Harbor, Md., and a lot of very smart and well-sourced reporters turned the Hot Stove temperature up to max Monday night with reports that the White Sox are moving closer to dealing Chris Sale. Sources: Legitimate chance of Sale trade to #Nationals. Robles, Giolito would […]
Maybe the White Sox will do something this week
A new Collective Barganing Agreement in place, the Winter Meetings opening this weekend, and scores of Chris Sale rumors circulating have eliminated any conceivable obstacle to the beginning of the teardown. They might as well. Beyond strangely and cryptically half-committing to a rebuild already, the White Sox offseason has been listless and inactive, unless it’s interpreted […]
Transactions Analysis: Brett Lawrie and Avisail Garcia
The White Sox declared themselves dead before the end of July and basically the only thing they’ve done since is awkwardly let Robin Ventura kind of fire himself and float uninspiring rumors about trying to trade Chris Sale. Well, we finally had some news last night as Avisail Garcia and Brett Lawrie avoided arbitration and reached […]
White Sox May Need To Buy In Order to Sell
I have made myself clear on what I think the White Sox should be doing to the point where people are probably sick of hearing it. Briefly, my opinion is that they don’t have that many holes, but rather, the holes they have are just really, really bad ones. Therefore, it should be easy to […]
That cost-cutting new CBA sure could help the White Sox
Reports that a new Collective Bargaining Agreement was reached Wednesday night are great, because it means the White Sox can finally get down to the happy business of trading Chris Sale for 19-year-olds. Numerous, brilliant, skinny 19-year-olds. Let the celebration begin. But! There could be still be other benefits for the White Sox as well. Hardcore luxury taxes […]
