Supposedly they had that old Dodgers trade fall apart years ago based on exactly this the Kusinski kid.

The worst possible scenario is a knee-tweak on a his debut day.

But yes, Lenyn couldn't play LF.

AAAANNNND there goes the thread.

Looks like it will probably happen, but it might be a late night.

Hi8is is better than Bruce Levine.... oh wait, we just did that.

This is definitely better than the usual post hype flop. GIve me a young guy with some upside tools every time.

Still better than Bruce Levine

WHAT ARE YOU DOING WEGNER???

FWIw, sounds like the Verizon problem might be a 3rd party vendor

I think I subscribe to that letter.

Also an acceptable joke angle.

They must have forgotten Chicago...

In before "The White Sox keep winning the Crochet trade"

Old Friend Mike Vasil is learning to pound beers left handed during his rehab, giving Chris Getz the switch hitter he's been looking for.

What top 100? The White Sox one?

And then added and even cheaper ownership group in the Cubs

This was always going to be a dicey signing. There is a reason that the Sox got him for basically 2/40. If he was a slam dunk, he would have been a $200 million player. We need to see if he can adjust to MLB pitching. It doesn't take long for them to find a weakness and exploit it. Now Mune has to adjust back.

Instead he gets years of the fans talking about it, instead of just tearing the bandaid off and being done with it. It's a sunk cost. Deal with it.

They are eating the contract, in the same amount, and in the same increments, whether he is here or not. They are holding on to him in some fantasy world that someone eventually picks up some of his contract to save them a few bucks. You just saw his equivalent in Sosa (average hitter with no defensive position) with a minimum wage type salary get sold for absolutely nothing. It's a fantasy that will never happen. I would love to pull a winning powerball ticket, but I know the odds are 300m:1. Jerry needs to realize that the same thing is happening with Benny. He's the Springfield Tire Fire.

We just gave up 4 years of a similar player at a much lower salary to do so.

It's not much of a ... consideration.

I am looking more at his baseball IQ in general, and the inability (or willingness) to find a defensive position he could play.

High school draft picks almost never play the years they are drafted anymore, with the loss of rookie ball post draft. If you aren't an early pick, you might not even break camp the next year, and instead play complex ball until a spot opens up. As a 17th round pick out of HS, I am not surprised he hasn't played yet, even if they see something in him.
