Oh Panda, forgot about him of did I just try to.
Now there's the new poster boy for Deal a Meal or Weight watchers spokesman (I wish)

He has lost a lot of weight... For some reason I can't get the picture to show up

105 isn't end all be all. Location is more important. Rondon for instance was a bum for awhile.
The Kopech kid has a chance to be special. To me, the White Sox did pretty well. They got one sure fire prospect, another that has a top ceiling, and a couple more to develop

I don't disagree, it's mainly on Moncada to break out.

Yep. It's always a crapshoot when you trade for prospects, but if you get it right, you can turn your club around. If you are gonna trade a guy like Sale, you have to get a kid like Moncada, but I'd also want a kid with #1 starter stuff more than a bottom of the rotation type. This trade will help the Red Sox this season, but the White Sox may be ecstatic with the deal...four years from now lol

He's doing an amazing job sucking that gut in.
Yes since he broke his belt in his last swing of the season.
I laughed my ass off not knowing the shoulder went on the same swing.
Then I felt bad

Good on him for losing that weight. On and good for Boston to get Chris Sale. That's a good pickup for sure.

Moncada is the #1 or #2 prospect in the league. He's going to dominate. Good trade for the ChiSox.

I like this return for the White Sox more than what it sounded like they were gonna get from Washington. Could Chicago have gotten 3 or 4 top prospects for Sale? Possibly, but I think if an offer like that was ever available they would have taken it easily. They could have just gone into the season with him and make a trade at the deadline but then you risk a serious injury or more problems off the field like the uniform incident of 2016.

probably more MLB ready talent they got from the Red Sox compared to the Nationals...

I think they could have gotten a decent haul if they included someone like Avisail Garcia.

I like what the White Sox did in landing Moncada, think he's a legit cornerstone type of player if he lives up to his potential. The other prospects added some more potential and depth in their system, and the fact that they got Moncada's contract paid off helps.

Now they should go all in and deal Frazier, Abreu, Quintana and Robertson and just stack the young talent.
