There is always demand for left handed relievers and Bummer had some good years. Regardless I think the Braves overpaid and should be a good trade for the Sox.
I will miss Jason. Had a good voice and demeanor. Local guy. He was nationally recognized with national broadcasting gigs of other sports. Something went wrong as it's hard to fathom that the Tigers job would be more attractive than Chicago’s.
Agree. It is beyond dumb to bring back the manager of such a bad performing team. I guess the main reason is that he is under contract and JR does not want to pay him as well as a new manager. IMO.
ESPN+ has ranked White Sox season #30 last in majors with an F ranking, citing front office mayhem and underperforming. An embarrassment by the Sox this season.
Sox could have used Burgerctoday, to make it more interesting. He hit another homer today in a Miami,, a 446 foot three run bomb. This trade looks worse by the day.
Burger was 3 for 4 today with a 2 run homer. What a terrible, stupid trade. A 30+ homer everyday guy, well liked, with team control throughout 2028 for a minor league pitcher.
