He would have been a minor league pitching coach at that point. So yes.

One trade acquisition Is be interested in is Kikuchi. One of the few teams of sellers, and he looked extremely unlucky this year. All his pitches looked better than 2019, and he added a successful cutter to mix.

COVID-19/Coronavirus thread
When it was new in March/April, it was scary and numbers hard to grasp, but was fortunate it wasn't visible anywhere around me. Coworkers, friends, neighbors, schools, offices, all safe from it at first. That's not the case right now, these are huge numbers but it also feels as huge as it seems. Neighbors coming down with it, family, friends, coworkers.

He’s not that inexperienced, he’s been a minor league pitching coach for years now, and teams have been going after coaches out of majors for a few years. Especially college where they have led mlb in player development

Do we see any other shakeups here in org pitching or pretty much Insert Katz for Cooper?

La Russa arrested for DUI in Feb; charged day before hire
What he did was already illegal? And gonna spitball this, maybe people feel there is a difference between "I want Tony Larussa to go to jail for a long time" and "I don't think the white sox should employ someone who has broken an important law more than once to one of the most sought after, public, and replaceable positions in their organization"

Right, I think that would be too much for lynn, but I just think it's closer to a Lynn package with headliners than Woodruff. I don't see why the Brewers would do that deal without getting a big time cost controlled bat.

The only chatter was among #whitesoxtwitter personalities, and the board has never really let that go. Brewers fans were laughing it off. That said, there are so many teams going for it, I could see why people target brewers as one of the teams that could trade a high impact player. But I think that package is closer to a Lance Lynn package than Woodruff.

Tough part about trades is everyone is going for it. Maybe Burdi is thought of highly still, but our best trade pieces are bullpen. I don't see matches for teams like Yanks, maybe they go for thompson/dalquist levels.

Rockies trading Marquez to infuse their expensive, weak hitting offense for Nick Madrigal is just the rockies kind of move I need. And then I guess they ship Brendan Rodgers to the ...outfield

The way that they had "the white sox, the new mets" was not intended, but should maybe be intended that way.

White Sox are short on pitching because they have Lopez.

who cares if it's fake or not, it's throwing out names that are players in baseball and we can discuss whether we'd want them, would trade for them, etc. There isn't anything else going on beside our manager risking people's lives. Fake insiders >> TLR.

Ah, so it isn't "sox will spend more" with larussa, it's "sox will be desperate for immediate upgrades but not with money so they will trade prospects for short term deals, and then next year they will also not have more budget so they will then be trading for Mike Leake and acting like they are world series contenders" Phew!

Oh i get what you are saying. Yeah, there are not a lot of teams that are a fit for Madrigal. Especially outside of our division.

I wonder if TLR called him.
