He got us negative anything. I think he could have gotten us nothing, and off the 40 man.

decent chance his prorated amount was worth more than the guy they just acquired. We just saw some teams trade cash considerations for sox prospects, so this isn't that interesting to me or worth applauding.

Sox could have traded nothing and gotten these guys as free agents after they were DFA'd is my main point.

They could only trade him once. So your evaluation is that "yes the sox made a great trade because they acquired a 25 year old marginal RH relief prospect and 4 players that were far below major league level, made the team worse, and also created a 40 man crunch that has caused them to let go of more promising players" is a win and I guess i disagree.

We are about 45 days in: ATL gets Aaron Bummer + 0.2 fWAR CHW get: Jared Schuster + 0.1 fWAR Nicky Lopez -0.1 fWAR Braden Schewmake -0.5 fWAR Mike Soroka -0.5 fWAR Riley Gowens mercifully is just a 24 year old sucking in A+ Totals ATL +0.2 fWAR CHW -1.0 fWAR Which on a normal team would indicate that not trading bummer would mean the sox added 1.2 wins above replacement to their team. But obviously, we know its possible Getz would have found even worse players than Shewmake and Lopez, so this may be true that it prevented even more harm.

Also the funky throwing motion and arm strength. But his ability to survive and throw some offense out there may pay off for him later.

PUMPED TO WATCH CLEVINGER PLAY BASEBALLLLLLLLLLL FOR THE WHITE SOX!!!

two straight days of weird ass start times.

I admit I watched yesterday and only getting shutout once in 9 games is like watching the 27 Yankees by comparison to the first month… But still so insane to me we are watching this hundred loss season and instead of surfing the waiver wires and giving some long shots a chance we have a bunch of mid 30s vets playing

Do you guys ever look at Brady Shewmakes stat line

I don't know if any coach was gonna overcome Giannis being out.

I mean, they may spend but I'm not going to be so excited for 3 bullpen and 1 DH signings for 3 for $50 mill deals as I once was.

Yeah, even as people are happy we have 3 top 50 picks, and I think we are on our way to a decent rotation (which is knock on wood), the offensive side of things is sooooo far off. And I just never understood the Getz focus on pitching prospects since I have much more confidence you could cobble a good rotation together even in FA with Jerry's rules with some luck and scouting. But we aren't getting an impact bat with Jerry. See Benintendi, Andrew. So it's gotta come from the farm/trades which will require the farm.
