Look at Ray Ray Run

Calling riding a motorcycle a hobby is like calling drag racing a hobby; technically it might be, but as a professional athlete it shouldn't be. I'm surprised they don't have this worked into his contract, and frankly it's a pretty absurdly stupid risk for the kid to continue to take.

This is just really weird and fff'ed up if you ask me.

unless the braves have a wizard in their front office, there's no way of telling when freddie freeman is going to stop being freddie freeman. certainly not any signs of that yet.

lol

I'm not sure how one could compare Carlos Rodon to Freddie Freeman but by god, you've done it!

Olson is younger, but to give up all that prospect capital when you could have just re-signed the leader of your recent World Series team is weird to say the least.

Good news is Kelly is/was hurt and won't be ready for opening day.

Twins gonna sign story.

Yeah, I don't get it. It's nightingale though so it could be completely wrong.

Not sure why you think that. Donaldson always hurt. Weird that they don't want Sanchez and traded for him to trade him,

Interesting move for both teams

No, my comment was based on the couple of people here last night implying the Sox were close on something big. Must have fallen through because it was leaked to SoxTalk!

So much for those big moves

You guys both need help.

He's been terrible as a starter for some time; his stuff has always appeared much better than his production. I'd be surprised if the Sox let him start. Converting him to a RP might be a relatively savvy move. His injury history isn't good so who knows if he would hold up, but as a two pitch guy out of the pen (Fastball/CB or Slider) he might be able to get his velocity back up to 96+ as opposed to 93 that he was sitting as a starter last year. Honestly I'd rather run with Lopez as a spot guy over him, but I think Velasquez would have a better chance of turning himself into a viable reliever given his pitch repertoire.

He was a former decent sized prospect who was the headliner of the Ken Giles move.

Never understood why no one has tried this guy as a RP. Maybe Sox will give him some run there. This should be a minor league deal.

I swear you work in the White Sox sales department:

If the Sox traded for someone like Tyler Mahle and signed one of Conforto/Castellanos this would make plenty of sense. If they plan on rolling into the season with Keuchel as the 5 and Engel/Vaughn/Sheets platooning RF/DH then this is just a terrible move.

If Sox are going to run a 215-220 million dollar payroll I'm fine with Graveman and Kelly, although I think very likely both take a step back. This is a head scratching move from a resource standpoint, less so from a player standpoint. Harrison is just head scratching in general, so I'll focus my negativity there lol.

Harrison was literally released two years ago. Signed with Detroit, had a negative WAR season by a good bit, signed with the Nationals for 1 year ONE million and was worse than Leury in his best season since 2017... and then somehow parlays that into a 5.5 million dollar deal with the White Sox for his age 35 season. Amazing when you consider all of that.

Had plenty; guy, we've been "waiting to see how such and such play out" for two decades. lol

I know he had that tendon surgery in August, wasn't sure if he was out for the year. edit: Give me Chris Martin if he's out for the year. I'd even take 1/2 year of Nelson though.

I would have signed: Jimmy Nelson and Daniel Norris if I was signing an outfielder. And then thrown a flier at Cam Bedrosian. Would have been cheaper, and the expected outcomes wouldn't be all that different.
