Boston’s return is supposedly an unnamed minor league pitcher. Also, Robert Murray thinks he’s a funny guy…

Who was Jerry’s immediate choice for new GM after admitting that he did not interview anyone else outside of the organization, or anyone else period?

I’m all for trading Martin. He’s not old but he’ll be turning 28 next month. But you would have to get decent value for him. If he’s a decent back end starter he has value. He isn’t a free agent until 2031. So it might be better to wait for him to put up a good full season next year before moving him. I’d also rather keep the much younger Cannon and see if he breaks out.

Yep, just what this team needs. More old players like Tauchman and Slater.

Perhaps Sasaki has already been to Chicago and New York, but if he hasn’t and he was at all interested in playing for teams that weren’t in the west coast, one might think he would want to see what those cities were like during the teams’ presentations.

“The Yankees and Paul Goldschmidt have come to terms on a one-year, $12.5 million deal, according to the New York Post’s Jon Heyman. That’s one more hole filled for the Yankees. The 37-year-old Goldschmidt is in obvious decline, but he did perk up some in the second half of last season, hitting .271/.319/.480. He’ll have to get used to hitting low in the order in New York, but that process did already somewhat start with the Cardinals. With Ben Rice out of the first base picture now, it will be interesting to see if he’s given a shot at the backup catcher gig in spring training. The problem there, though, is that both he and Austin Wells are left-handed hitters.”

Not for CHGO apparently. No one cares about the White Sox because they are so bad.

Your post is obviously putting a negative spin on such a reaction.

“Rickey Henderson, Hall of Famer and MLB’s all-time stolen bases leader, dead at 65“

Sign Iguchi to play 2B!

The problem with the Yankees is that they like to keep around guys like him as a fallback in case of injury, even if he may be able to get more playing time with another team.

Perpetual rebuilds and losing will do that to most fans. Let’s blame the fans, not the greedy loser in charge of the team.

I wouldn’t put money on it but I wouldn’t be shocked if the Sox win 50 games next season. But that’s still horrible and not really any sort of accomplishment.

He’s not signing here. 🤣

Yeah, cuz it’s also closer to to California where his agency is and where he would fly in from Japan.

This dude gets it…

That’s a big difference if you fly a lot.

I think if this trade was offered, it would’ve been accepted yesterday. You get an excellent 3B prospect and a lefty CF who just turned 24, even though his stock has been down the past couple years. He still has the speed to play CF and maybe he can do enough other things (play good defense, hit some dingers, and steal bases) to make up for his weaker overall bat (low AVG and OBP). ”Trade Proposal: Luis Robert for infielder Cam Smith (#73 overall prospect in MLB) and outfielder Jacob Melton (Astros #2 prospect)”

Clevinger’s value was really only in what he could return in a trade. No one wanted him because of the shitstorm surrounding him. So while it’s great that he put up a 3 WAR for Rick Hahn and his 61-101 team in 2023, ultimately who cares? The Sox paid him $15 million over two seasons and have nothing to show for it. Now, no team even wants him, but I’m sure Clevinger is still enjoying that $15 million dollars for 24 good starts in 2023.

Good god is it bad. I just looked at it. Can’t believe there’s an outfield out there that’s worse than the Sox. Doubt you are getting even Smith alone for Robert. They want him as their long-term solution at 3B. But it’s probably reasonable.

January 15th to January 23rd.

Keep trying.

They also had Christian Walker signing with the Yankees last week. So they just tweet out the deflection excuse. I like how they expect people to believe that a GM didn’t contemplate whether a free agent was worth their qualifying offer or not, prior to offering the player a deal. This account is a sham of bigger proportions than the Chicago food accounts.

Bogus is what I call it. Which one of these teams is not like the others?
