Are they grading on a curve? Literally only the Cardinals won that trade on Day 1.

Yeah, we effectively benched some combination of Colas, Fletcher, and/or DeLoach so that we could send cash to the Cards to take him.

I would be shocked if he spoke to anyone about these comments before he said them, because anyone with a vested interest in the White Sox would have known how stupid and short sighted they were.

I will also accept this answer.

And waste a year for evaluations? Absurd.

Captain Panic strikes again.

Efficiency at its finest.

Hold me, I'm scared. Hearing Chris talk about his hurt feeling over Crochet wanting an extension, I can only imagine the haircut we take on him now.

This is something.

Because apparently the Sox are broke.

White Sox fans wanted Kenny Williams fired, because it couldn't get worse. Then came Rick Hahn. Then they wanted Rick Hahn fired because it couldn't get worse. Then came Chris Getz. White Sox fans wanted Ricky Renteria fired, because it couldn't get worse. Then Tony was AED'd back into existence. Instantly Sox fans wanted him fired, because it couldn't get any worse. Then they dug up Pedro. I think the lesson is we need to stop believing that Jerry can't go lower.

He came into this year with 142 days of service so he has to be somewhere just after one full year of service, leaving him 5 years of control.

I can't wait to see us waste $50 million this offseason.

No. Current year draft picks can't be PTBNL until after the World Series.

I would have rather held on to him and rode him into the offseason versus taking this return, even as a quickly depreciating asset. There is no way this was the best deal on the table.

Eh, he was never going to be fixed here anyway. He refused to listen to basic coaching with suggestions to change his pitch usage for too long.

If you are old enough, they will run you out therew.

Bet on him sitting on the bench for a while first.

A typical arrangement puts a few guys on a list, and then the receiving team has some period of time to decide which of them they want.

The kids are going to Kanny.

Vargas is also coming to Chicago.

I don't even need to see Benny added on to a Crochet deal to say that the Sox are officially the dumbest franchise in baseball.
