Sox don't like his medicals.

He's terrible.

Remember when the Sox weren't supposed to draft Vaughn because you don't draft 1B that high? That said, someone needs to tell LaRussa the Sox traded for a 2B. Doing too much of this with Vaughn could come back to bite.

Or they trade him somewhere else. If this guy helps the White Sox advance in the playoffs, it puts more money in JR's savings account, and probably hurts the Guardians moving forward. I would understand as a Cleveland fan if he was making a ton of money, or the prospect was really exciting, but why do one of your biggest rivals a solid?

It's an option next year. It saves them a couple of million, but it may cost them in the long run more than that.. They probably could have traded him somewhere else I doubt their roster is very happy with the trade. It may make a little more sense if their sell off is just beginning.

The guy is a solid baseball player. His power surge may be a mirage, but he does other things well. He's a good pick up.

I still don't get this from an Indians perspective unless they really really like the prospect. Sending someone to a division rival , if he helps the Sox win, makes the Sox a lot of money, and makes their road back to contention longer. The Indians are toast, but it doesn't appear they just acquired the left handed version of Shane Beiber.

So Kaplan is his "source".

Yeah, but at least he is another body. Leury is fine when he is hitting, but his hot streak is OVA, then he beomes annoying. Mendick can't hit at all.

Chicago White Sox has been trading this guy for months. Finally it is done.

What did the Sox give up?

Strange the Indians would trade to help the White Sox. He's a poor man's Escobar, not ideal, but he'll do. Can't spend $1 when all you have is $0.50.

Looks like JR is taking a page out of the Orioles handbook. Ingrown toenail? Pass.

Is it wrong to treat a man's groin to get rid of some tightness? No counselor, I think not.

Why would they lift Lambert after 2 but let Burger play through 8? I don't think it's anything.

Tony looks like he wants a drink.

Got scared of the wall.

Dale Murphy was once a catcher.

Gallo is going to be able to tell his grandchildren he was once traded for 6 or 7 players.

It depends on the cost. Escobar is the guy I wanted. But maybe they have another guy coming with a reliever.

The question is if the Sox trade for Story will not cishek delete his no big fish tweet like he did others thar suggest he isn't quite what he claims?

Leury hit an unsustainable tremendous since Madrigal went down. Mendick can't hit at all. They are really going to regret not filling that hole if they pass. One can hope the reason Escobar isn't a White Sox is because someone better is coming.

Which means he is due for a hot streak.

From the discussion yesterday it is now being reported that if the Padres want Gallo, takimg Hosmer is a good start. They will even include a top prospect.

Probably getting to the point they need to get guys some breaks and maybe if they get a reliever get Kopech a few starts.
