If the Sox traded Robert for Senga, Acuña and I don't know, Clifford? Ewing? I suppose that gets us back a starting pitcher and CF, and there's your "prospect". Maybe there's an lower or unranked dude who Shirley/Keller liked.

I am not surprised at all by this response either. All lives matter after all, right? Oh you guys aren't telling that lie anymore? Same with the extra judicial executions in the streets being a reason for regime change? Save the one way feelings.

It’s a trade where the pieces “fit”; but it opens a big hole in CF. They can get a mid-pitcher as a FA. the Sox real need to get a young player with long term potential (or a comp pick) for Robert.

Great. We can stop all the BS and get ready to root for the Hammond Bears! 😆

Seems like they’ll keep him in a utility role (at bats to go around with rotating DH maybe and guys like Swanson, Happ, Bregman 32 or over. Plus, he can slide ride into 2B if/when they don’t resign Hoerner.

If the Cubs didn't say it, I've seen it bandied about that Shaw works as a Brooks Baldwin-type utility player for them. Frankly, where the Cubs are right now, I'd see Shaw as more of a sweetener for a pitcher or a bat they're trying to acquire, or whatnot, not somebody to move because they're blocked.

I feel like a Robert for Senga framework could make some sense.

There are going to be plenty of starts to be had.

I like that signing better if he’s a reliever

But I'm guessing that every team runs into the same problems. If they're going to pay down a guy like Rodriguez, they still want value for what they're sending away.

Exactly.

Newcomb expects to start 30 games. We'll see, I guess.

Okay, here's a SouthSideShowDown blog post about how the Sox could get a prospect for taking Castellanos off the Phillies' hands. White Sox could help Phillies pursuit of Bo Bichette with this unconventional trade First of all, could somebody tell me about all these trades that happen where teams send top prospects to other teams so they can pay their own players to play for someone else? Is that like Free Money day at the bank? Seriously, the White Sox sent international budget money to the Rangers for them to buy out Dionner Navarro's option within the last decade, and the world went mad with rage over how stupid and cheap that was. When else does this even happen? Looking today, there aren't even that many situations where teams roster players they might like to dump. Here's my list: Toronto - Andres Giminez Boston - Masataka Yoshida Houston - Carlos Correa Oakland - Luis Severino Philadelphia - Castellanos, Taijuan Walker Mets - Kodai Senga(?) St. Louis - Nolan Arenado Rockies - Kris Bryant Some of these, like Bryant - is just too cost-prohibitive to take on. Toronto seems to be happy with Giminez, Houston with Correa. The other teams listed have been shopping these guys for a couple of years, now, and somehow, they haven't been moved with "prospects". We don't need a DH. We already have Benintendi. Nobody's been beating down our door trying to trade for him and Hagen Smith. (Maybe 10-D and Jacob Gonzalez, in reality). I just don't think these deals happen, anymore. But everybody on Twitter and other boards keep throwing this fantasy at the wall, like every other day, teams are throwing prospects at teams with space to take their overpriced contract.

Not sure how any decent person wouldn't be offended by a law abiding citizen being brutally murdered in front of a thousand young college students. There hasn't been any assassination since Kirk so not sure what youre referring to there either.

You sure about this one? Not sure I can take any more on poor soil and the lack of ingress/egress at the 78 site.

Loveland was the most athletic TE I've ever seen at UM and we've had some good ones. He has unreal hands and fluidity for a guy that big. Some of the catches he made in big spots for UM were the definition of "game breaker". In the championship game against UW he caught a ball that I think even 90% of NFL TEs don't catch and he made about 40 yards out of it, got UM the momentum back. I believe it would have setup 3rd and long if he didn't catch it, instead it was a huge chunk play. He tried to play through a badly injured shoulder his junior year in a season that was over really before it began with Alex Orji and Davis Warren the QBs. He could have just shut up shop and gotten ready for the draft but he reinjured it instead and it cost him his first NFL training camp and lord knows how many weight room days leading up to the combine. He's a gamer on top of everything else and wants to play even when it might cost him personal stats if he can help the team anyway he can. Willing blocker and has a mean streak too. Other than maybe not being roided up like Brock he has no weaknesses. Create a player type guy.

Another fear was realized, though.

Quite ironic that Shaw's job was taken by an American citizen.

Yeah, things worked about great for Jason!

B A > B > C A. Is this even debatable? Hold a gun to my head A

Schriffen won the battle but Benetti won the war by moving on to better opportunities. However, Jerry gets a little enjoyment every time he sees Schriffen eat something neatly.

I'd much rather argue about the following than Matt Shaw's right wing politics: Schriffen vs. Benetti The 78 vs. Rate Field vs. suburban stadium site Ishbia vs. JR Getz vs. Hahn/KW I say options B, A, A, and neither.
