Should the Chicago White Sox kill 5 of their players to trigger a disaster draft to improve their roster?
The MLB disaster draft is a contingency plan to be used when 5 or more players on a team have died or have been dismembered. In the draft, the team whose players died will be able to draft the amount of players from other teams equivalent to how many they had lost. Other teams though are only allowed to protect 5 players from being drafted, but many teams have good sixth men that are available. With the White Sox having bad contracts on underperforming players such as Yoán Moncada or Lance Lynn, they could also just kill backups or minor league players to fill out those 5 kills to get the disaster draft. Also, according to Rob Manfred, the team would also get the first pick in next year's draft. Now this next draft class isn't crazy so I could understand their hesitancy, and being a repeat offender, that is, killing 5 players on your team could raise some eyebrows, but this could still greatly improve the White Sox! What do you guys think, and should any other teams do this and who should they kill?
