Community Picks: Toronto Blue Jays 0% vs Chicago White Sox 0%

The trade deadline passed on Monday and all was quiet in the White Sox clubhouse. While nearly every other team in baseball furiously attempted to make last-minute deals before the 3 p.m. (CST) nonwaiver trade deadline, the White Sox remained silent. Though there had been a few rumblings of possible moves the past few days, none surfaced involving White Sox players on Monday. And for the first time since the All-Star break there was a relative sense of calm within the clubhouse. Monday’s tranquility was not the byproduct of a decision by the White Sox front office to stand pat but rather because of the flurry of trades Rick Hahn completed the previous 17 days. Those five deals removed involved Continue to Article

CHICAGO (AP/CBS) — White Sox second baseman Yoan Moncada hurt his right leg in a frightening collision with right fielder Willy Garcia in the sixth inning of Chicago’s game against Toronto. Shortly after the injury, the White Sox announced that X-rays were negative on Moncada and that he was day-to-day with a right knee contusion. Moncada’s injury was strictly a muscle issue and above his right knee cap, the team said. Because it was all muscular, no MRI will be necessary. Garcia suffered a head contusion and was set to be re-evaluated Tuesday morning for a possible concussion. Moncada and Garcia were chasing Darwin Barney’s bases-loaded blooper into shallow right field when the second baseman Continue to Article

Jose Abreu offered a thumbs-up assessment late Monday as the White Sox appeared to have dodged the worst case following a “nasty” collision between Willy Garcia and Yoan Moncada, the top prospect in baseball. “Moncada, very good,” Abreu said.

Gray has been de-Athleticized as expected, arguably the most attractive get of Deadline Day and a piece who can help consolidate the Yankees rotation not only for the rest of this season but for 2018 and 2019. Between him and Jaime Garcia, whom they lifted days ago, the Yankees now have reloaded a jittery pitching staff that could conceivably remain in place until decade's end. Outfielder Dustin Fowler, pitcher James Kaprielian and shortstop Jorge Mateo, to be specific, all go to Oakland for Gray, and the A's even throw in $1.5 million in international bonus pool money.
