There's also the opportunity cost they're spending on Benintendi. There are only 13 offensive roster spots, and Benintendi will be taking one of them. That means they can't carry one of Pereira/Kelenic/Hill/Mead/etc. It would be worth the incurred league minimum to DFA Benintendi and roster Pereira, for instance.

A name with an sky at the end isn't necessarily Polish. "Ski" indicates Polish. "Sky" can be Ukrainian or Russian.

And I've heard/read it surmised a few times that the return from the Pirates or Reds for eating money just didn't stand out from Acuña/Pauley.

He wrote an article suggesting Eloy Jimenez was opening eyes after 8 PAs. White Sox fans might cringe at slugging disappointment's Blue Jays comeback bid

Sounds like this content-mill has the same, insane, unreported take that you want to believe. Congratulations.

You do understand that Kannapolis isn't high-A, don't you? I dare you to not make things up.

Again, please link to anything that implied more than his name "coming up". Of course he felt the need to clarify his reporting when people made it into something he clearly didn't report.

It's a good thing he graduated, then.

Any reporters that have discussed this said they thought the return didn't get much better sending money along with Robert.

The original reporter also debunked his own story. He said Keaschul's name "came up". By all means, please link to anything that mentions a trade that could have been aborted.

And the supremely important 1 run victory.

The pitching and offensive sides of the roster are different. The White Sox ostensibly chose to keep Lenyn Sosa over Romy Gonzalez. Let me know the next time Romy hits 22 HRs.

Because even though the jury's still out on the Crochet trade, we get to list it as Boston "getting the best of" the White Sox until proven otherwise.

Does Italy charge their players for lost or damaged helmets? Seems like he would have gotten across the plate quicker without trying to catch and carry his helmet.

If they keep Lee on the roster, that means they want to put Teel and Quero at DH on their catching off days. That makes Benintendi useless. Sosa also has to play as often as possible. The other thing about Pope's guess is that the outfield has 4 OFs, two of which will back up the infield, and one of which they want to primarily DH. I don't believe they're going to eat 2 years of Benintendi's salary. Lee and Mead both have to be raking to make the roster. I'd say one of Lee or Mead has to go to make room for Kelenic or Pereira. I'd expect Pereira to open the season on the IL. I suppose in a perfect world, they'd cut Benintendi, trade Lee, then roster Kelenic and Hill (or Pereira if he's fit).
