Shaw for Quero sounds good to me

That trade was so dumb.

This was looking like his best opportunity for a Super Bowl.

Reasons that have nothing to do with baseball. He couldn’t stomach playing for a team that is much worse than his current team? Yeah, makes sense.

Josh Allen to the medical tent

I do not want Matt Shaw on this team. I don’t think he could stomach being on the south side anyway… for reasons. Plus, he puts himself before the team.

If they can get Shaw for ten cents on the dollar, should absolutely do that. Would think he could profile as a good LFer too.

I think Shaw's in a similar place as Quero, speaking only in baseball terms. Former top prospect, has shown they can survive the bigs, but still has more growth to be realized. It's a buy-low/sell-low that doesn't necessarily work for the Cubs. Robert's a bit of a mope. Vargas crashed and burned in real time. I act like Robert and Vargas are the great teammates that their teammates keep saying they are. Neither are uncoachable, as Law said of Shaw.

Yep, in his rookie season. Meanwhile, people were excited about Vargas’s supposed turnaround in his fourth MLB season and he finished with a 1.3 fWAR.

I didn’t say that. If the price is right however… You don’t usually get to acquire another team’s top prospects unless they have some sort of warts. I think he is interesting because he can play 2B and 3B and he could potentially be moved to the outfield. Besides, wasn’t it our “star” CF’er who didn’t even know one of the coach’s names — Charlie Montoyo? Vargas moping around for half a season. You act like the Sox roster is a bastion of amazing team players. I thought only Schriffen truly believed that.

I appreciate Cairo even more after last night.

Yeah hes a big boy. Hopefully this is as clean of a version or whatever is most minimal of a severe injury. Have to presume fact he is young helps in this scenario. Guy is huge and was definitely ascending.

didn't realize OT was 6-8, 312, holy s%*#

Yeah ptact - best news I’ve heard in a while. What sort of recovery time? Only thing I’ve heard is he ruptured his patella tendon.

I trust you ptatc. There was people on X saying he will not be the same again cuz its a less than 50% success rate and 20% full recovery for a torn patella tendon.

Nah, selfadmittedly, only the already finished and overly coachable can succeed here.

So the White Sox should do whatever it takes to obtain an obstinate rookie who bails on his team when it's go time?

1.5 fWAR. Considering his sub .700 OPS, and filtering out the hype that accompanied him, the 1.5 is more believable.

Per Keith Law’s article in The Athletic:

Deferring $70M of it.

He'll get in on the veterans committee

Yep, that’s a massive load to deposit all on one guy.
