6-3 Royals

They must have gotten too overconfident. Usually Francona keeps them pretty grounded.

Don't want to run the risk of an injury.

That annoying Madrigal is back again...at least still have the Cubs to cheer against, especially if they try to hold onto Bellinger and Stroman.

Burger would have beaten it. Or Remillard. Well, probably not on second glance.

Royals and White Sox playing spoilers this weekend...

Still owe him $6.67 million counting the $4 million mutual option next year. Guardians last by far in homers across the majors this year. That's definitely helping Clevinger's confidence.

Seems like it will be another 4-5 inning start with all those pitches piling up after the long layoff.

Clevinger up to 96.3 mph. Seems he would be happy with a relocation.

Does Jay Cuda agree?

Might as well get Dylan Covey back...he was pitching somewhere in the bigs in the early season.

You could have two Benintendi's for that price. Win!

Angels look like they're headed for another loss today at the Dome...

From Mets to Yankees first...had a PEDs in there somewhere was well.

Nightmares of Jaime Navarro glancing at the thread title...

So we're now officially on Rebuild #3 under Hahn. Along with Jose Abreu, the Sox had added Rodon and Tim Anderson through the draft to go along with the likes of Sale, Q (2012 team) and eventually Avi and Eaton... The Red Sox got former Cy Young winner Jake Peavy from Chicago, as well as reliever Brayan Villarreal from Detroit. The White Sox got Avisail García from Detroit, and Frankie Montas, J.B. Wendelken, and Cleuluis Rondón from Boston. Finally, the Tigers got José Iglesias from Boston. This move was from trade deadline 2013. Of his 50 signings since taking over as White Sox GM, just eight have given the White Sox surplus value. That's a woeful, almost unfathomable 16% clip. So, right off, the dirty details for Hahn: Signings 50 Positive surplus value (SV) players 8 Salary paid to free agents $568,235,053 WAR value of those free agents $213,698,292 SV of free agents -$354,536,761 Unlike Hahn’s trade history — most notably the “rebuild deals” and anything having to do with Adam Eaton — there is no “hot stretch” for the GM in free agency. A full class-by-class assessment can’t run all the way up to 2022, because in some cases, players (say, Yasmani Grandal) still have time left on their deals to improve or hurt the overall class’ SV. A White Sox GM Rick Hahn Assessment, Part One: Trades - South Side Sox

Can't imagine a bigger contract to Snell than they wouldn't even consider for Giolito ($150-175 million vs. the $50+ million they wanted Gio to accept)...and buying Bellinger as if he's the 2019 MVP again just seems like classic White Sox move under Hahn. Merkin's on the phone right now on the Rosenbloom Show and it seems like Merkin is trying to distance himself as much as possible without agreeing that he basically should be fired. Defending him by saying a lot of teams "go through rebuilds" (compared to Royals and Astros and Cubs). Those banners fly or stay forever, defending the Cubs and Royals as if the White Sox experienced the exact same World Series successes, lol. Should fans feel insulted? Comparing Sale and (now) Giolito wanting to stay there during Rebuild 1.0 where they dealt Peavy for Avi Garcia and brought in Abreu and Anderson and Rodon in that period. There's just no way there's going to bring Lucas back in FA, even though they can throw that out there was an option.

"Pissing on the Sox fans and telling them it's actually raining" Steve Rosenbloom absolutely obliterating Rick Hahn on his show...mostly on the how you can possibly entrust Hahn to execute yet another rebuild and how everything he has done with the personnel and training staff and Grifol has been a complete/utter disaster. Of course, after that segment was over, they had Scott Merkin come on to reminisce about the Eagles. Playing the song "Take It To the Limit" to describe the feeling of Sox fans and their ongoing frustration with the team.
