I know you aren't trolling which is why this is so silly. You not wanting to STEAL a top 100 guy for a 2 month rental of Jose when we are going to win 70 games is goofy. I think most people here like Jose, I do. But he doesn't make the White Sox better next year or the year after if you wouldn't make that move.
Russel is black and Filipino. Don't make this something it's not. Ray Rice knocking his wife out on camera for example is a lot more powerful than what happened with Russel.
I'd generally agree but he isn't walking at the end of the season. If we keep him it's fine too as much as I'd like to get one last piece. One less arm we have to look for next year.
With that said and some thinking I don't believe ATL is in play. Young, cost controlled team with a deep farm. If he gets traded to NL East I'm thinking Nats.
I'm ready for the stove to leak gas and explode now.
Braves, Nats, and Phils all showing interest and all need help. Hopefully this allows Hahn some decent leverage. Say what you want about Hahn but he has fleeced some of these orgs in trades.
This guy has never pitched over 170 innings and has a career H/9 of almost ten. This would not be a good move unless you want him to be some kind of swing man, working mostly from the pen. I wouldn't give up anything valuable at all for him.
Our farm is not stacked, at all. After Madrigal and Robert promotions we have Vaughn. Dunning too as long as he returns to form after surgery. Thats pretty much all we have aside from fringe 4th OF types.
I think Ricky Renteria is a horse shit manager and would like nothing more than to see him replaced.
However, this is the bottom feeding trash he has to send out there. Hahn and Kenny should be fired as well. We have sucked for a decade and have a depleted farm after some call ups. We have zero org depth and can hardly plug and play any of this stuff. Disgraceful.
