what? He didn't apologize for embarrassing Savala in front of cameras. He apologizes because he does something indefensible stupid and is pressed on it by the media and actually realizes it because the players were also baffled so he gives some media apology. How is him doing dumb things negative attention on a player?

Their weakest position this year is RF.

I would rather have Kris Bryant and Codi Heuer than Craig Kimbrel.. and it would have cost less. That would have been better for the teams chances to win a World Series this year than the current plan. I literally say that Kimbrel is better than Heuer in that post, so while you continue to ignore the things I say and distort them I'll continue to express the frustrations I had with the way the team allocated resources at the deadline. Kimbrel wasn't dominant in Boston in 2018. He was bad in 2019 and 2020. And he was great for 30 innings in 2021. People who keep comparing him to the period of time when he was the best reliever in baseball is like someone bringing up Griffey's Seattle numbers when the Sox acquired him; although I'm obviously exaggerating slightly here as Kimbrel was much better this year than Griffey was the year we acquired him.

Codi Heuer outperformed Craig Kimbrel last year and has outperformed him since the trade. Is he better? No. Can he better over the sample the Sox acquired Kimbrel for, 100%. As per your bolded part, one set of innings was guaranteed to occur when the Sox made the trade, the other set of innings was not guaranteed. The Sox didn't trade for Kimbrel so he could struggle in the regular season and not help their chances in obtaining home field throughout. They acquired him to bolster the bullpen the day they got him, not 2 months later. As for your bolded/italicized part, there's nothing more exhausting than hearing about the White Sox having "one of the best bullpens in the game." No one who actually watches the games would argue this. The White Sox strike out a ton of guys; they're 14th in baseball in ERA, 10th in FIP, and 4th worst in blown saves/games. At some point, the praise for a unit who has not gotten the job done just becomes tiring to read about. And ALL of that is despite having the second fewest innings pitched in baseball because their starters have been so damn good; so they aren't even overworked. They're just overrated and they remain as being the weak point of the entire roster despite them investing more money than any team in baseball on that unit.
