It's just for during games. Why would there be a pool set-up for somewhere you're not going to be?

ESPN ranks him #2 prospect in baseball

Way to hustle Eloy.

The return is the least of my issues with the trade but yeah. I keep hearing the line "sold high!!!" as if it means anything. You got a single minor league pitcher for a quality position player with years of control. Maybe not a poor return but certainly not an overwhelming one. The sold high stuff is just buzzword crap given how little discussion there is on the return itself. Just because you traded a guy while he's having a good year doesn't actually mean you sold high.

But it's dreary, windy and rainy right now.

I don't even like pitbulls. That said, there's no way anyone actually cares about any of this.

Nickname

The White Sox subreddit certainly does. I don't know what part of the fanbase they are though. Edit: Hahn only though. KW they despise.

Well his wife seems to think it's a MLB deal. That would surprise me.

Burger slashing .278/.366/.472/.838 since joining the Fish. Eder meanwhile has given up 9 ERs in 5 IP. Early returns.

Nice swing oscar

We're spoiling the Cubs. It's all good.

No way would I give him anything near that but I guess someone will.

Where the hell is Katz? You know what, probably better off in the dugout

Someone has to eat innings at some point. We're already running out multiple guys with like 6 ERAs in Charlotte. Shaw is apparently Mr Willing by all accounts.

It's awesome we're finally going to have excellent 5th starter depth next year. Now just need a 2nd, 3rd and 4th starter to compensate.

I wish it were real. I'm perfectly okay with Middleton saying what he did. Scoreboard operators taking the most harmless jab ever is funny too though. No reason to be upset.

Actually update: now reading it wasn't there the next inning. So not sure either way.

Extend Elvis

Shaw went 2IP with 4ks while getting the save Monday so that may have earned him the spot. Of course Santos may be put back out there regardless.

I guess Shaw is the closer now. Hard to argue with his performance the other night.

Don't think it was. Was up the next inning

Where have you been? He's only effective as a closer though.

Which is why mutual options are rare but yeah in this case, he's pitched better than $12 million. No trade market though should be a pretty good indicator to him what his FA market will be.

Sooo does that mutual option with Clevinger hit?
