Fedde should fail his physical if the doctor is a White Sox fan.ScotchMIrish wrote: ↑09 Feb 2026 10:56 am https://www.mlbtraderumors.com/2026/02/ ... fedde.html
It will be interesting to see what he signs for. Probably more than MLB minimum but I doubt anything North of $2 million.
LOL - he will provide depth likely at a bargain price. One think I don't understand about the White Sox is why their payroll is so low.

In fairness, the White Sox have some interesting young pitchers.sikeston bulldog2 wrote: ↑09 Feb 2026 11:57 am Tells me they have little confidence in their youth, and little confidence in others youth. So they sign an over the hill vet.
On the other hand, the Cardinals are loaded with young arms. Good position to be in.
See I know not what I talk about- ha. Then that’s nuts- if they have just as good ready, young, then give them the starts.Talkin' Baseball wrote: ↑09 Feb 2026 12:17 pmIn fairness, the White Sox have some interesting young pitchers.sikeston bulldog2 wrote: ↑09 Feb 2026 11:57 am Tells me they have little confidence in their youth, and little confidence in others youth.

Well, like us, not all of their interesting young pitching is ready. Some is, but the best is yet to come for them.sikeston bulldog2 wrote: ↑09 Feb 2026 12:19 pmSee I know not what I talk about- ha.

What's amusing is the Red Sox and Cubs in those ancient ballparks without a lot of the modern amenities that owners insist are the key to success are both top 10 in MLB payroll and will remain so due to the allure of the historic ballpark.45s wrote: ↑09 Feb 2026 11:53 amProbably not the only reason…..but their stadium is not in a good location..ScotchMIrish wrote: ↑09 Feb 2026 11:48 amLOL - he will provide depth likely at a bargain price.

True but that's not the only ballpark in a high crime area. I remember the Orioles cancelled a home game due riots in the neighborhood adjoining the ballpark. A lot of people don't realize how dangerous the area across the street from the Enterprise Center is. Be careful where you park.45s wrote: ↑09 Feb 2026 12:41 pmHistoric is certainly a draw..ScotchMIrish wrote: ↑09 Feb 2026 12:26 pmWhat's amusing is the Red Sox and Cubs in those ancient ballparks without a lot of the modern amenities that owners insist are the key to success are both top 10 in MLB payroll and will remain so due to the allure of the historic ballpark.45s wrote: ↑09 Feb 2026 11:53 amProbably not the only reason…..but their stadium is not in a good location..ScotchMIrish wrote: ↑09 Feb 2026 11:48 amLOL - he will provide depth likely at a bargain price.

Safety is certainly a draw..
The Sox ballpark is neither..
