Good. Get another.

Ah, the epitome of the 2014-2016 mindset applied to our 2021 championship contending team.

What? I’m saying there are more players looking to sell than teams now buying

Rosenthals latest only has this on the white sox ”where are the white Sox?” Ill say this, seems to be a whole lot more on the sellers than the buyers.

I think getting the comp at 2016 should have worked out. That draft was incredible, we managed to weave through all of the impact players.

Oh yeah, that trades an A for sure them.

It’s happening!!! (if you fall for this, just delete your internet)

I gotta admit. They are a good hateread. I get so mad at how dumb it is, they have me wrapped around their finger.

Not recently but they get their info so early I’m sure it’s coming, they are basically the decisionmakers

So part of this is Hahn just not being a buyer because of his horrible start and the shit 2015-16 teams. So this is off memory but: 2013: - Sell - Peavy for Avi. Didn’t work out for Sox, but they got a now 8(?) year major leaguer and 1x all star so I’ll give it a B+ for talent eval, d- for PD staff - sell - Alex Rios for Leury Garcia. B+, not bad. 2014 - I don’t remember anything? Middling team “rebuilding in the fly”. Was this that one reliever who got injured a week before deadline and we almost got arrietta? Tough luck 2015 - Specifically didn’t trade smarj, used the comp pick in a loaded draft for a college reliever F- - Zach Duke for Tilson (was this 15 or 16?), poor strategy of going after Old AAAA players with playing time - D 2016 - either this was Duke or I don’t remember. Starting to feel like 2016 was Duke. 2017 - Sell - Q deal A+++ - Sell - Frazier/Kahnle/Robertson - D , kahnle was good, almost got luzardo with Robertson alone Hodgepodge of years - Soria for Cordell - F, hate the trading for 25 year old injured players strategy - MiGo for Ti’Quan Forbes - B+, I’m Forbes biggest backer, migo was nothing, went young, May pay off? I thought Forbes would bet us a MRP - The AJ Puckett deal - can’t even remember who we sold for this guy but right idea, I liked both - that Tampa trade for Gillespie B- 2020 - Buy year! Nada Sox had reasonable activity, but just haven’t been buyers under Hahn save for last year. So, go impress us?

Lisa left eye Lopez burning down Andre Risons house was pretty good. I have no idea how to spell his last name but greg louggainnis (? Greek spelling) HIV felt like it was covered for months, in a pretty disgusting way looking back. For me personally, Walter Payton dying was incredibly sad when I was a kid. I mostly missed him playing and just idolized his highlights especially as bears were terrible.

Feels like the lack of August made less people go right up to deadline.

Wow, thank goodness. I’m so glad the Sox medical staff - so good at predicting injuries - is leading our acquisition effort.

Burger would be a really good match for Coors

what a fucking horseshit game. Fuck you cb bucknor

Ahhh it was bucknor

How do you not fucking see that live

Alright, here’s where Goodwin wins the second base competition

Oh, it’s not Vaughn. . .

It was just guaranteed. Felt like this kinda game since the seventh.

Ugh

I don’t buy it, but if they trade for him I will instantly buy that he sucks because Colorado sucks to suck

Please no homers. Please no homers. actually just no hits. and no four walks

I would be happy for Mike Wright to get a shot somewhere. He deserves it, send him to the pirates or hell, decent chance he’s 3rd best angels starter

So, just as another scenario, a potential double iglesias deal! Jose is not the defensive wizard he was early in his tiger days. But he is now a sometimes good, but very decent offensive player, and still a fine SS. He is not a switch hitter, but isn’t too bad vs RHP at a 93 wRC+. Where his offensive productivity vascillates, it’s usually around power, with him getting hits but an aggressive .310ish OBP. The Angels seem to just be hoping to hide and redirect everything to “Hey look at Shohei!” but their road to the second playoff spot seems impossible, and Iglesias is FA at end of year. Double up with Rasiel and Jose?
