You could just pretend he’s traded while he”s injured, and hitting .185 into June.

IIRC, wasn’t Kelenic good in AAA originally? His second go round he was lost even before he got back there. Just reading the tea leaves, and Kelenic choosing free agency over going down, and that the ST invite was written in, this guy fully expects to make the team. And who knows about starting. I bet there is an informal understanding that he has a spot that is his to lose in ST. In other words, he doesn’t have to destroy in Arizona, he just has to not be bad. Kelenic didn’t necessarily have to come to Chicago. But Chicago is where as Mr Fox says, the worst outfield in MLB may exist.

He definitely sees an opportunity to start here. DFAd but chose free agency. Could have gone where he wanted. “Invitation to camp” basically means an opportunity not to play himself off the team

He’s just another Jim Parque (now that he’s gone)

Already moved on to Kelenic 🥹

You know how easy it is to bribe the office cleaning lady to plant an amazon recording device yes?

Yes. Real life.

Somewhere in the ‘States, Imai is very intoxicated, and most likely smoking cigarettes. Good times

Even if it was never going to happen, whoever in the Sox FO that is allowing the trolling to take place getz it.

I was commenting on this possibility or probability earlier. A dump could just mean they want to convert his salary to a different player. But it’s still cheap, they don’t have to do this just because Imai would be coming. And without a replacement for Robert in center, that’s not going to help the product just to move Robert’s salary into another position. There’s no reason they couldn’t dump Robert at the deadline either. Paying his salary for half a season shouldn’t be a big deal.

Does he deserve the cute nickname?

Rumors checking in that Imai likes the sauce. A lot 😱

It’s tough to get prospects in 2025 even if you’re offering a clean player, let alone Luis Robert. It’s likely just a salary dump for nominal dudes at the end of the day if there actually is a trade. Which would be a damn sight disappointment. Jerry owes us a shot at 2026 entertainment. That’s the least he can do.
