Multiple sources have confirmed that #WhiteSox 3B/DH Jake Burger is garnering trade interest and is a “sneaky pick” to be moved by the upcoming trade deadline.

[Steve @Steve02270]

What if #WhiteSox Kyle Teel returned to MLB lineup on Monday June 22 to kick off a series against the #Guardians? 🤔

[Steve @Steve02270]

@NlGHTMARE3TWO I like the idea. No clue if he’s available.

[Steve @Steve02270]

#WhiteSox are a good team but Benintendi is a complete black hole in the middle of the lineup.

[Steve @Steve02270]

I hope the #WhiteSox can extend Munetaka Murakami’s contract. Your guess is as good as mine these days, but I believe they will ultimately be successful! Murakami loves this team and that matters.

Believe me or not, I don’t care. Bookmark this tweet.

I have a friend who works at a very senior position in an MLB front office. They have confirmed to me that they AND the vast majority of teams in the league have reached out to the #WhiteSox to inquire about trading for Munetaka Murakami…

The Sox have made it clear to everyone in the league that even if they have a catastrophic fall off, Mune will not be available for trade this season. He is, for all intents and purposes, untouchable.

FURTHERMORE… the league-wide belief is that the White Sox ARE in fact currently trying to extend Mune. Whether or not they can come to an agreement remains to be seen, but Chicago wants to make him the first $100M player in team history, and a the consensus seems to be that a 4 year extension with an AAV in the vicinity of Kyle Schwarber has likely already been offered.

Mune is playing his pants off and, given his age and international draw, his reps have likely advised him to hold off. My friend cannot confirm what the contract will look like, if it even happens. But he is far more likely to be extended than traded.

Nothing is guaranteed. But the Sox plan on pushing to compete this year AND next with him at the center of their roster and a real effort is being made to keep him in Chicago well into the Ishbia era.

Great, great news for Munetaka Murakami and the Southsiders.

More than you think.

Have to wonder how much decision power Tony La Russa is still being given with the white Sox.

[Steve @Steve02270]

#WhiteSox would’ve taken Konnor Griffin over Hagen Smith if GM Chris Getz didn’t overrule. Similar to 2018 situation with Madrigal and Kenny Williams. I believe Hahn has done it too. A rite of passage.

[Steve @Steve02270]

Actually, I think 2018 was Hahn and it was Kenny who wanted Brady Singer. Either way, they’ve all done it. Could be a learning experience…

[Steve @Steve02270]

@NlGHTMARE3TWO No, the amateur scouting department. Jerry doesn’t get involved with these decisions.

[Steve @Steve02270]

When the #WhiteSox news comes out, it might be confusing to some. Just know that Jerry Reinsdorf still controls #WhiteSox as chairman no matter his ownership stake or the future plans. The bright side is there is an end in sight.

#WhiteSox GM Chris Getz is very sleepy and just emerged from his 2nd nap of the day!

(I don’t know.)

[Zach @ThatPacersFan]

@Steve02270 any whispers in the Sox org??

[Steve @Steve02270]

@itsbaseballkid I was basing it off the tweet I’m quoting.

[Steve @Steve02270]

#WhiteSox wanted another 1B at #5 and fans are surprised that they’re having a bad draft.

[Sean Anderson @Sean_W_Anderson]

they wanted kurtz…?

[Vinnie Duber @VinnieDuber]

New at @CHGO_Sports: Andrew Benintendi’s first year with the Sox didn’t go great. Turns out, despite playing in 151 games, he was just plain hurt.

“I can’t tell you how many times it was a 2 o’clock, 3 o’clock decision whether he could play or not.” https://t.co/dc1v4mWBGj

[Steve @Steve02270]

The people who are surprised that Tony La Russa still has an important role with #WhiteSox clearly didn’t follow my tweets in my prime 😂.

[Section 108 @fromthe108]

Is Jerry preparing to sell the Sox?
https://t.co/0UWMZszVzV

[Steve @Steve02270]

#WhiteSox Jerry Reinsdorf is closer to selling than his public comments imply, but Wayne Huizenga (assuming the lesser known Wayne Jr.) is not one of the potential buyer names I heard back in the day…

Can somebody double check this email? I can only confirm it was securely encrypted

[Steve @Steve02270]

@LilGille913 @PortillosHambu1 remains the gold standard.

[Steve @Steve02270]

Due to some personnel changes, I am no longer in a position to deliver #WhiteSox rumors and inside information. It has been a pleasure!
