I probably would (then you can trade Anderson for a CF later on or see if TA can play CF adequately). I usually don't risk trading ML ready guys for A ball prospects but Franco is lone exception. Kid is that good. If Tatis Jr. were still here though, this wouldn't even be a question but alas...

REJOICE!

Jesus, 25 is way too young.

Powers reporting the Mitchell news now (basically all but official). Getting him in the fold is HUGE for the franchise. Yes I think he's going to be that good. https://www.nbcsports.com/chicago/blackhawks/report-blackhawks-agree-terms-prospect-ian-mitchell-entry-level-contract

FWIW... from Chief.

I see some are forgetting how legit the Reds look.

One name that has surprisingly being thrown around out there is Becky Hammon. From some people in the know, she is fantastic but not sure if the players will buy in with her at the helm. I like Joerger, Griffin and Atkinson as well. Jordi Fernandez is another guy whose name has been thrown out there (right out of the Denver org too).

Bulls GM Gar Forman had a slow rise to power and an even slower demise I want both Pax and Gar gone but this is why I've wanted Gar gone for a looooong while now, far more than even Pax.

Not to mention Cooks massive concussion history on top of that. Bill O'Brien... the gift that keeps on giving.

Cooks on the move again.

Lets hope. Pax at least said he'll leave if that is what Karnisovas wants. Hopefully Michael and Jerry Reinsdorf won't get in the way when/if he wants Gar out too (who really should be the first one shown the door). I'm interested to see who he picks as GM now.

One guy this probably helps the most is Steve Cishek. Dude has alot of miles on that arm the past couple of years so the extra rest can/will only help a guy like that.

I was going to name Shoeless but he mostly played in the corners (LF/RF).

Makes sense.

Harold Diaz being released definitely sticks out.

So Gar and Pax will no longer have much say (yaaay) but will still be around. Typical Reinsdorf.

Connor McKnight also let go from the score.

Julie DiCaro canned at 670. Of course she plays the woman card immediately. No, Julie, you just suck and are a horrible champion for women. Good riddance.

Wow. I knew it was serious when I saw an OG (@aboz56) come out the woodwork. RIP Ed.

Just finished it today myself. Needless to say I hope all those other fuckers go down as well.

I'm surprised Reed didn't give pitching a try before deciding (especially as a lefty) but maybe he figured it was a lost cause as he's older. I wish him the best.
