The sox having cost controlled position players and SP allowed them to be dumb with the bullpen when they needed it for a playoff push. That's fine. What will keep them competitive in 2025 is that they chose cespedes and colas over a real intl class, AND/OR shirley is a bad scouting director.

I mean, honestly yes, I only care about what a pitcher is at the moment we trade for them, this i slike that dumbass argument that Reynaldo lopez was better than Joe Musgrove because of 2018 in the offseason. And you also just happen to be talking about maybe the one relief pitcher in baseball that has been a fixture for a decade except for a season where he tried to hold out into the season and was terrible, and the covid season, where there was a lot of weird issues. SO taking Craig Kimbrels 3 year sample, in particular, is rich. But I wouldn't care anyway, because we are getting him for what he looks like now. Everybody knows the deal.

I don't want to shit on nick, really did start to enjoy him in May. But oh man I'll never not giggle when thinking of when people were defending his early miscues because he had never played in front of fans before lolo

hahahahahaha

I doubt it, there are cesar hernandez available every offseason which is almost literally true.

Mann this is the same shit we heard in the offseason with Hendriks. Oooh colome at 8 mill is abetter deal. The difference between Craig Kimbrel and every other reliever was MASSIVE. I'll take any time we get the best of something, though I was very dismissive of our very own best contact hitter and will honestly miss him. Hope he kills it.

yeah that too.

I was so shocked but, I'll go back to that 2b is relatively easy to fill. but now we...kinda do have RF and 2b, unless burger is ...legit down there.

Honestly just...fucking make an oil painting of this and hang it in my dining room

Oh...yikes I'm...that's not a return I was expecting. This is tough call.

I mean the good news is that I feel like these deals go really wrong trading position players and I just have no idea what position player they could give up that I'd be terrified by (*we can't trade colson right?)

amazing that he got that long form answer out of them but...we dont' know the return?

christ I read this as we were trading kopech lol the adrenaline is crazy

yeah but...why would the cubs want aaron bummer

The sox are penny pinching and acquiring a $16 million closer

holy shit

I need to get lunch. And every effing time I get lunch during a trade period there is a sox trade and I ahve to go read through takes to make sure my take is still original for my fans and it drives me crazy.

lol. I'm hearing

I would trade Crochet basically because I have a hard time believing he ever converts to a starter, and it really doesn't feel like the sox have any plans to do that either. So if he's just a bullpen guy, then...lets go use him for the best bullpen guy.

You wouldn't trade Jared Kelley for anything. What?!

This is a dumb plan for the white sox to rely on, as it was last year. If katz is a genius with bullpen then go prove it with our bullpen pitchers.

One thing I would like to say that appears unpopular is I would trade Crochet for Kimbrel

Thats what @Y2Jimmy0 said on twitter

worked with rodon last year. Foolproof.

This makes me really happy, I was so amused at how they were seemingly trying to be ignored and just being like "SHOHEI HIT ANOTHER HOMER DONT LOOK AT OUR RECORD"
