That's not true at all. The actual real third option was he still had too much time left on his contract and would have been really hard to get actual value. Everyone would have lost their mind if they traded him for "less than" and no team would have given up the farm for him.

You bring up McCarthy like they traded Tatis Jr when he was good.

I guess I meant it was positive in a way that they actually had the highest bid on it. Also think it was entirely his wife not wanting to live in Chicago, if I remember correctly.

Are you this interested in sources when it's a story that would be "negative" towards the White Sox? Jeez.

It would be a very short term problem, I think. One of Meidroth/Ramos/Monty will be up fairly quickly.

Yeah, I'm not saying the guys the Sox signed are going to be good, but they are better than those two currently are/will be.

The guys they brought in are better than Anderson and Abreu.

Vargas put on 20 pounds. Still holding out hope he can show something this year.

If people think Gallo is washed than I don’t even know what Abreu would be considered.

No reason to get worked up minor league NRI guys, but I'm sure plenty of people will.

Jimenez got hurt both in shape and out of shape. Robert looks like an NFL wide receiver and can't stay healthy.

I don't think anyone in the baseball world thought 2023 Luis Robert would be "peak value."

Padres continue to baffle by signing Pivetta for a lot of cash.

You’d be upbeat too if you were going to win 94 games.

He knew what he was walking into. This is basically year zero. You can at least see a semblance of a future team. Could not do that last year.

Robert trade imminent?

Alex Bregman isn’t this important to wait so long. Sign a contract already.

Yes that's exactly what I meant.

Feel like this is a tad misleading since he started getting bombed and it seemed to be his injury. He had a nice little run going before that.

I thought he said "it" instead of "in" but I tried to jab a pencil into my brain to forget that all.

Sounds like a home game for them, too.

Their fans are probably currently worried about two people arguing who even owns the team, with one accusing the other of sabotage.

Don’t worry, the Padres took care of it continuing their awful offseason.

I would say that might be the worse source that's ever been posted and that includes fake Twitter accounts.

That is going so well for the other teams trying to do that. They aren't leaving.
