.162 with a .498 OPS in 48 games

This is the funny part. A certain segment of fans is still upset with stuff from 40 years ago, but in this case Jerry was way ahead of the curve. He was 110% right in this case. Paid TV was the future and it led to an explosion in baseball revenue.

What bad contact would you like to take on?

Of course we will end up with this guy

The guy who brought the suit got almost $50k in PPP money, and then got it forgiven.

FWIW most states won't allow that.

Literally the worst free agent signing of my life time by the White Sox.

If Kenny really is leaving as soon as after this season, we shoudl be on the phone right now looking to work this guy into our system somewhere high.

I will say this much about Gio. Almost all of his drop off last year traces back to his defense. His FIP alone is almost a run lower than his actual ERA. Much of the run up in H/9 is also related to the defense. Teams aren't stupid, and can see these numbers in front of them, probably in a much more detailed format than the generic stats which are out there. He is a guy who gives you 30 starts a season, and works into the 7th inning pretty much every 5 days. Those guys are hard to find, and can save a pen. Lucas Giolito has a lot more value than people are giving him.

More like there is no sense wasting my time. But yes, rest your case. Please.

No you are right. None of the Sox are worth anything. Doomed to fail. No point in even talking about 2023.

Oh right I forgot. The Sox can't go any direction but down. My bad.

You get something back for him, hopefully something that fills other holes.

I will be honest, while I think Gio could have a nice bounce back year, dealing him isn't the worst idea since he isn't sticking around.

I am not really worried about the other 29 teams, though it will still be a bad deal for a very long time.

I would feel like this would be the ideal spot for him.

Sox fans don't have the patience for getting contract output in the front end of a deal, nor the organizational willingness to spend over those bad contracts.

Either way, it will be an instantly bad deal the day it is signed.

Let me just say this outloud. Whoever pays Judge $300 million is going to regret it. This is a guy who has had a lot of problems staying healthy, and is probably a DH for a large portion of his deal.

Wat?
