Zack Greinke (his looks the most serious), Sonny Gray (pec tightness, might only miss a start or two) and Royce Lewis (collision with CF wall) all injured in action on Sunday...

But if you do trade away most of your younger players (see Madrigal being replaced by Harrison/Garcia, essentially), the payrolls are still going to skyrocket. We all have concerns about Moncada long-term, especially his $24-25 million years (one is an option). So logically they need to think about a replacement. If Burger is traded, then you're waiting another 2 years for the next group of prospects to arrive, and then another 2 years to get their feet under them at the big league level if you look at the struggles of even top prospects like Moncada, Madrigal, Vaughn, Jimenez, Cease and Kopech. So trading Burger gets you a B level prospect who you end up waiting on into some indeterminate point in the future, like a Brayan Ramos, Y.Sanchez, L.Sosa, Colas or Cespedes. What the White Sox have been particular good at is taking a player like Sheets who has one breakout and then instead of trading (see Rays) you end up with a pit of nothingness and the value of your assets simply go up in smoke. They can't differentiate between the assets to keep and those to trade at peak value and how to keep replenishing the system so there aren't constant peaks and valleys organizationally.

The White Sox would never recover as a viable WS contender...except profits-wise, running Pitt or Oakland payrolls with attendance falling to the 13-14000 range. Of course the various tv deals virtually guarantee the ownership group money in their pockets. Can't even say the Guardians because they invested a ton into Jose Ramirez at least.

How old is Herm to bring now out of retirement? I think his official title is emeritus. Just not sure his old school methods would fly with a new generation of players...but something has to change, doesn't it? It's now like 82 degrees and nearly perfect baseball weather can still be used as an excuse...that cold weather/abbreviated ST thing only worked the first six weeks.

The odds of him having read Kapler’s explanation are pretty much slim and none.

Anyone think there’s a correlation between this suit…the relative silence on it…and the lack of local media articles or follow-up questions this season (especially now with a potentially crippling TA injury) about our MASH unit? Not one single move to shake up our strength/conditioning or training staffs? Not even the old lateral promotion by not firing someone and stowing them away in the front office or minor leagues? Inexplicable array of injuries that put last year to shame.

Maybe they’re just testing to see if he can play a game without getting hurt as well?

They said Robert might not be back for TOR series.

If Anderson's out for a month or more...that might be curtains.

Player of the Week. Moncada might never start at 3B again for the Sox lol.

Burger is the hero. .500. Mired in mediocrity. Crazy game.

Next decision will be which pitcher to hit in McGuire's spot.

0 for the series like Happ. Productive out.

Even described as athletic. Guess they're thinking about dinner reservations at risk now.

Cucks Subs not sure if you combined all the Central Division teams in both leagues outside of Milwaukee you could win a playoff series.

Why can't we be Marisa Tomei more than once a century?

Most meaningless Crosstown Crap Cup in series history. Cubs with 4 runs on just 5 hits the entire game.

Sigh. You deserve to pay for walking the catcher.

Of course it wouldn't have been called had they thrown Leury out. Then again still probably don't score the run.

Or 0 and 0 from both to add to the frustration.

This is going to be a back breaker if they don't win. Of course the Cubs have blown three leads in a row so just God awful all around.

Yet the pitchers aren't comfortable throwing to anyone else. Conundrum.

Harrison hitting the ball pretty hard there gets him another start on Tuesday in Toronto.

Reese's bat falling to Pieces. Dreaded Low Energy ends the "rally."

Or not, lol.
