This is one of my bucket list things to do. Going to move it on the soon list once this team is worth paying to see again.

Trying to get an idea of how these deals usually look, apparently the "average" of these deals is 8 to 10 million per year.

I am just glad it actually happened.

If it is a copy/paste job, it could have been picked up from the original text

In other words, he wasn't going through waivers, so the Sox got a little something for him.

It is nice to see. I wonder if the CME money is why.

It has been 0 Days since your favorite franchise did something embarrassing.

They also closed that loophole

It might mean they reworked the deal to give the White Sox a chance to look closer at other players to make up either for the injury potential, or for not getting their first choice because of medical red flags.

To start with, they can't be players on a 40 man roster, nor recently drafted.

So the Sox took on contract to get a prospect

Mike Clevinger on line 1.

That would crazy. Jerry isn't going to pay for a new stadium.

As of today, he's the only guy I could squint and see perennial all-star, MVP, Cy Young, type talent. There are some ceilings in this system, but I would top Schultz as a 70, while the others are 60 to 65 tops.

He has to stay healthy and get an innings base.

Gained muscle mass, DRINK!

Honestly I thought it was a quality discussion on current vs future weightings.

ESPN Twins 8, Sox 20. MLB Twins 2, Sox 17 FG Twins 12, Sox 22 Prospects 1500 Twins 9, Sox 14 BA hasn't released yet

Especially in a farm system that is ranked ahead of ours

Jerry: The f*** you will!

Both the Twins and Vikings fired their leadership in the same day

If the reports of a "high ask" are really accurate, that means they absolutely collapsed their price in negotiations, because what we got wasn't that.

This is exactly why I am still skeptical about the White Sox going forward. If we are still taking the cheapest way out in key returns, at best you are still prolonging this rebuild, at worst, you aren't going to be able to get to the talent critical mass you need to overtake the division. This apparently has not changed at all.

I wonder what the half price and full pick up returns were.

But of course.
