The same reason the Yankees are not buyers…and because they might be able to get a better return for him now than letting him walk at the end of the season. Or they might think adding young pitching gives them the best shot this year and into the future. Or uncertainty about the compensation system. Semien and Hendriks didn’t get QO’s last year from Oakland, so he could get one this year…if you’re Toronto, do you really think you have enough to get past Oakland (who will certainly make a trade), NYY, Seattle, Cleveland (assuming Bieber comes back), etc. Playing in the AL East? Also depends on their revenue projections…having sacrificed attendance all season long to play in the US. The White Sox were only behind 3 1/2 for a division title in 1997…let alone a one shot WC game that’s a crapshoot just to get through to play it in the first place.

Extension rejected. If Semien and Buxton are both added to the market, things get really interesting for buyers.

And hopefully neither will Kopech…

Ummm…no? Managed to make the White Sox look lost in space this weekend on a national (seemingly Brew Crew t.v.) broadcast, along with the controversial Yoan play at home. Where the heck were Cairo, McEwing and Narron???

Might as well add Iglesias or Kimbrel…skip the rest of the pen.

How to avoid Hendriks hitting? Goodwin, Leury and Zavala…brilliant strategy, instead of scoring the insurance run.

Well, it’s either him or Anderson. TA7 arguably the most irreplaceable…along with a healthy Robert.

Other than Madrigal, Rutschman or Torkelson, supposedly one of the most refined collegiate hitters, finished product, etc. Nothing left to prove at that level.

Needed to keep Goodwin in there for his bat, apparently. Is Engel even available?

And RF, although Sheets/Engel is clearly the third biggest issue right now…

At least only a GD and not a F—K tonight. For FCC purposes alone.

Everyone could clearly see Kopech was pushing hard just to get through his first inning…

Notice that the Brewers are warning up their best reliever even with a 3-1 deficit. That said, no way Burr, Bummer and Crochet can be trusted on the road in that kind of environment.

He is actually well rested…the bigger issue is getting through the 8th the rest of the season.

The bigger problem is Crochet and Bummer know their manager doesn’t trust them..

90% of SoxTalk could have managed the last two innings better than TLR!!! Why do we have Cairo and Narron of they’re just yes men? Or disregarded?

This was just idiotic. Kopech at-bat, could have gotten him hurt. Why not just start Hendriks with a clean inning?

Still don’t understand why Goodwin is in and not Engel… Subbing out Vaughn instead? Haha. These announcers don’t know baseball. They’re talking about Goodwin’s father, not the actual Sox player Brian. Lazy.

Trading for Trevor Story to play CF makes zero sense when SD already has Pham, Grisham, Myers, Frazier, Profar and Mateo. Unless Trent Grisham got hurt again.

How did that not go out?

Last decade. Marte, Thornton, Jenks, Santos.

Are you confusing him with Cease?

Wonder what the cost to acquire Marcus Semien would be in another walk year?

Adames, Narvaez and Tellez. Narvaez pitch framing called out, lol. Watch Kopech get hurt running to first…coming off that hamstring.

Well, Crochet over Bummer would be an interesting choice. Two highly regarded lefties…but neither are particularly trustworthy, either. This is just dumb to hit Kopech and give up an out.
