Sometimes they come back throwing with more velo after UCL reconstruction. If it happens maybe it will be the case here. Haven't checked his velo at the MLB level. Was he trying to add velo in the MLB, I wonder.

It appears that relievers were the belle of the ball at this deadline.

C, Ok trade for fedde. Dejong meh.

Possible.

Too true. But they know more about the players than I do so i them handle it.

You can't develop them in the minors? If they didn't think they were ready for the MLB, they would be hurting their development.

They could shut hom down from games and do side sessions.

That's a new one. Although he is coming off an injury and hasnt looked particularly sharp so they are probably just protecting him.

Not if they didn't think they were ready.

We knew it would be a wasted year. Someone had to play since the milb players weren't ready.

Could be. They needed someone to play and the kids in the minors weren't ready so someone had to. May as well take a shot.

True. That's probably why it worked out the way it did. Just like any other prospects, hopefully they will be MLB ready eventually. Keith Law said in 3 years for perez.

I think they signed him with a hope for more. Didn't work. But at least they got an arm they may be useful.

I think we were told they wanted a quicker not prolonged turn around. I don't think anyone thought it would be this year.

Yes, but then took 19 year olds for the rest of the trade. They may look at a couple for now players, but the focus is too improve for the up coming years.

To try to build up trade value. Unfortunately, the players did not hold up their end of the bargain.

I don't think the goal was to improve this year.

I'm not sure. It will show that he can handle a season healthy. Up until now he hasn't shown that. The only thing that will hurt his value is if he doesn't stay healthy. Killing myself with the grandad level puns today. ?

I wouldn't stress over it. #granddad jokes

More white sox weird injuries.

Totally different injury for a football player. His was severe enough they put a rid in his tibia to try to take the stress off the bone. Didn't work.

No. A stress reaction or fracture is more like a crack from overuse and the pain coming from the periosteum or covering of the bone. Going to need to modify his footwear for the future but shouldn't be a long term issue.

It's a stress reaction in the tibia. He'll be fine. Usually a 1-3 month injury depending on the severity.

He got one for now but two for later as opposed to 2 that are ready now as with the other trade. You can do multiple goals at once. It doesn't have to be all now or all later. He split it in this case.

We can hope.
