You like JOKES or JULKS? He might be in the game today, too.

They have missed out on all the big targets so far. Hoyer is getting played by the market right now. Should have made some moves days/weeks ago.

The excuse is that the Cubs are dumb and no one else would give what they gave for Soroka.

They’re losing out on all the bullpen pitchers they should have been overpaying to get, and then they pick up Soroka? Probably should have waited on that extension for Hoyer until after the deadline.

I was thinking this had Brooks Boyer written all over it, and there you go. He's terrible. Just terrible.

mlbtraderumors says that despite the Rule 5 Draft starting at 1pm Central time, the White Sox pick has already been reported by Jonathan Mayo as RHP Shane Smith from the Brewers. Not sure how that works if the draft hasn't started yet, but that what mlbtraderumors says. Edit - nevermind. I see the edit to a previous post and the other thread now. Sorry.

Is that second quote a recent one, or is that a retweet of something he said after last year's debacle? If that's a new quote from Reinsdorf, it just proves how out of touch he is. First of all, the whole organization needs to stop with the "we're in the AL Central, so we've got that going for us," nonsense. That kind of smug/arrogant attitude about the AL Central despite only having won the division 4 times since it was created in 1994 is so stale and off-putting, not to mention they are currently dead last, 42 games behind the second worst team in the divsion. Run your team like you want to win the World Series which means beating the best team in every division. And what core? That's the part that makes me think this was a quote from last year and he was referring to Robert, Moncada, Jimenez, etc. and how they were rarely on the field together and healthy last year. But if it's new, it makes me think he doesn't even know who's on the team anymore.

Maybe he's open to the manager position. What better person to manage a team of scrappy, slap-hitting players than him?

Someone in the area should do a kickstarter campaign to raise money to print up like 10,000 "Sell the Team" t-shirts and give them away at a game. Or even better, somehow organize a grassroots "blackout game"-type event where everyone shows up to a game wearing them.

Or cash considerations. And STL also gets PTBNL or cash considerations from the Dodgers! Wow.

St. Louis is also giving up a low-level minor leaguer per mlbtraderumors. Does he go to the Sox or the Dodgers, though?

Technically, it's Fedde and Pham for Edman. Then Edman and Kopech for Vargas and two prospects. Not sure why it needed to be a 3-team deal. There has to be more.

Fedde AND Pham for Edman.

The Sox are MLB's slumpbusters.

Funny that "GRF" can be shorthand for "grief." That's what the field should be called, "Grief Field," because that's what all the fans are left feeling after every game.
