Yet when something interesting actually happens, we still can't talk about it without it devolving.

For the record, if this kid really was down in velocity because of an injury, it wouldn't be the worst thing because at least that would be a fixable reason.

Do we really need to waste time on Bauer? The Sox haven't even shown interest.

It really looks like OT or D will be very prominent when the #9 picks rolls around. WR might still be left.

Probably not without some divine intervention

Makes a lot more sense now

Bears jumped the line on a potential cap cut. Nice

I am going to guess that has more to do with their home ballparks than their spending.

I send my deepest sympathies.

D. Too many Orioles fans.

So was Getz waiting to see whose market dropped late?

The longer this drags out, the more I wonder if they really are keeping Fields.

He was effectively an opener anyway. https://www.nbcsportschicago.com/mlb/chicago-white-sox/why-white-sox-are-sending-michael-kopech-to-the-bullpen/546978/?cid=sm_npd_rsn_chi_fb_mn&fbclid=IwAR0gR4TMjrfOx9ryy2TF5TlF2ZgxdEQ_uvep_HUMlNE0VPa21lpeJqkHIGQ

What the hell?

4.041 years of service

Run along now.

And yet after a month, here we are. That should tell us all something.

Oh he has the talent. I believe the phrase is million dollar arm, ten cent head.

And yet here we are. Reading between the lines and completely guessing? They have been telling Kopech what to do for years and he doesn't. This happened last year, and already in a months time under new eyes it happened again. There is more to this than we know. Knowing Kopechs history and mixing that in makes this add up pretty clearly.

He's had shot after shot after shot.

I struggle to see how him getting his ass kicked for 3.1 innings every 5 days does anything either.

TBH, if this is happening right, it is almost certainly because Michael Kopech continues to be a mental case and a trainwreck. They obviously see that he can't handle it.

What rush? He's over 4 years of service time now.

He has sucked for years as a starter, and has sucked again this spring. I am sure this wasn't a planned thing, but a reaction to Kopech not being able to make any progress, and in fact regressing pretty decently.
