This is about the same return that AJ Puk got. Hitters just don't get the same demand as pitchers do at the TDL. Just hold on to Robert if this is what the market looks like. You have three more years of control to still work with.

Pitching at the deadline is where the overpays happen. Hell just look at the Sox deadline deals last year.

To be fair, the Sox sabotaged him for years by rushing him to the majors and stuffing him in the pen while never coming up with a plan to start him again.

Those all seem a player or two light. Neither has more than headliner.

He's #76 on the brand new BA list.

For the record Puk and Tanner Banks, both LH longer relievers with very similar numbers, with Banks having more contract control.

The Astros don't have much. I have to imagine another team would easily outbid them.

The White Sox could go on a 57 game winning streak, winning every single game the rest of this season, and they would still miss the playoffs.

*Now with 10% more yikes!

This has actually been a great series of Bobbles if you are just tuning in.

Ok, we really don't need to troll this dude anymore. Let it go.

WTF is he rambling about an extension?

If he pitches like this the next two years without injury, he's looking at Cole money of a few hundred million total. Hell maybe more as a lefty. If he gets to free agency with some sketchy health history where he has an injury or two and averages about half a year of work, he's in line for the Glasnow money of $30ish million for 5-ish years.

And in his case specifically, there was no one to block.

The White Sox are 0-61 when trailing after 8 innings.

Next verse, same as the first!

The hitting was going to be bad, but again almost to a man, guys are at career norms, or below.

And push that out another year if Crochet and Robert stick around.

The only group of White Sox who hasn't vastly underpeformed this year is the pitching. I know the bullpen has been awful, but most of that is because they aren't good bullpen pitchers. The starters as a whole have all been as good as, or better than, expected.
