If the Cubs don’t make an investment like that a handful of years ago, they very well might not have a World Series. It’s definitely a risk, but I don’t mind it at all (mostly because I think we can find somebody to match the production Madrigal would be giving us).

BrittBurnsFan Posted August 15, 2021 Share Posted August 15, 2021 Just now, caulfield12 said: They're going to go from overpaying (based on beating up the NL Central as a closer) to having to subsidize his contract, just like the Cubs would have had to do for 65% of his time with the Cubs... He will get meaningful outs for the White Sox this year...whether those are for equal value to the trade and whatever we do with him will be debatable! That said...we had 3 easy outs in the lineup tonight...which is more upsetting! Goodwin, Lamb and Collins...why? Our DH was hitting 8th and is/was Jake Lamb???? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SonofaRoache Posted August 15, 2021 Share Posted August 15, 2021 Collins is easily one of the biggest disappointments of the last 10 years. Can't really hit and defense went from passable to bad before our eyes. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There should have been 0 chances for you to claim this weird conspiracy theory but there's already been two. I worry about you thinking it's weird for someone not to post during every game. Thoughts and prayers flying your way!!! Well you should know professor. You can read my mind. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not sure why it's so hard to understand why he might be struggling more than usual. Just look at his velocity. He was a closer on a bad team. Hardly some hype machine.

News to me. I can't think of the last reliever at that age demanding much more than that. Especially coming off 2 of 3 down years. Would he likely get more guaranteed money as a FA? Sure. But I doubt it would be at that aav. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

South Side Hit Men Posted August 15, 2021 Share Posted August 15, 2021 5 minutes ago, WhiteSoxFan1993 said: If nothing else, Vaughn's hit means that Collins bats now instead of leading off the 9th. It’s a shame Vaughn didn’t start to get Goodwin and Lamb’s futile LH bats in the lineup, one of many reasons the Sox are amongst the worst in one run games. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
