In all fairness, there have also been a number of teams who cut players who won arbitration hearings against them as well. Isn't that even more unseemly? But there's never any surprises with the Sox, after they fought with Giolito over $25,000 and poisoned that relationship.

Was waiting for a Fathom comment... Still not going to predict a championship for Iowa when they still would have to get through USC/UConn and then likely South Carolina (yet again). Watched the first quarter at home before going to work and thought it was going to end up as an LSU blowout the way things were trending, honestly. On the plus side, Hannah Stuelke (foul trouble) and Gabbie Marshall didn't provide their normal games on offense but still won that game pretty comfortably. Not sure if Clark has another game like that in her. The biggest issue is the tendency to relax a bit after a hyped up game like that, but pretty hard to imagine the attention letting up with the media salivating over potential match-ups of star players colliding. And now we get another week of Clark vs. Bueckers/Watkins hype...

Seeing how they spent the last $27.5 million in free agency, another $3 million to protect their minor leaguers isn't the worst thing in the world. But the optics around this guy just aren't great. Especially if you are making the claim that "winning clubhouse chemistry" and getting rid of all the bad apples was one of the main off season priorities. I mean, the've turned over, what, 70-75% of the roster now? When do they start pointing the finger at themselves for being in this pitiful situation? Conveniently, blame will go to Hahn and KW, but that excuse won't last forever when teams like the Royals and Tigers are making legitimate efforts to compete in a division where Minnesota is already wounded.

No reason it shouldn't. Ofc, we don't know how close to game action that Clevinger actually is...it's not like it is going to mean anything in the overall scheme of things.

No.

Thought we were adding Sammy Sosa after reading the Clevinger thread...

Not waste any time losing the most games since the 1962 Mets...that quote isn't going to wear well for JR and Getzie, now is it?

"Gavin Sheets was drafted by the Atlanta Braves in the 37th round of the 2014 MLB June Amateur Draft from Gilman School (Baltimore, MD) and the Chicago White Sox in the 2nd round of the 2017 MLB June Amateur Draft from Wake Forest University (Winston-Salem, NC). $2,000,000 signing bonus." Braves are usually draft geniuses lol. https://www.amazon.com/Chicago-Autographed-Rawlings-Baseball-Beckett/dp/B09GBM64WP

Larry Sheets recommendation? Even those annoying O's fans couldn't positively spin his presence on an MLB roster.

But his bad wrist still apparently hasn't healed yet. Btw...when's the last time KW or Hahn consented to interviews since they were dually fired?

"Christopher Morel singles on a ground ball to left fielder Nolan Jones. Ian Happ scores. Seiya Suzuki scores. Christopher Morel scores. Fielding error by left fielder Nolan Jones. Throwing error by left fielder Nolan Jones." Rockies trying to out White Sox the Sox for worst team in baseball.

Not much left in the cupboard to trade. Might as well get the max for Wilson or Kopech as quasi closers like Reylo last year.

Four of the last five hitters would be rookie or second year players. Whether it’s Colas or Fletcher, you probably can’t survive without one of those Adam Duvall or Hunter Renfroe types that are going to cost them $6-8 million. Certainly not Robbie Grossman/Naquin variants at this stage of their careers.

We are now basically the feeder/farm system for the rest of MLB...like the G League Unite for the NBA, minus promising high school schoolers. (Except for Luis Robert Jr.'s presence...however long this lasts until he's traded as well.)

Just the Campfire Shake posing ... a not so subtle shot at Boyer and JR for criticizing how Jason would "messily/unculturedly" eat Sox concession items he was asked to hawk on air.

Or he was one of the few in demand from other organizations if they dangled him out there...

Ernie Harwell wouldn't be so petty...but times have certainly changed with 24 hour social media. And I can certainly understand the urge to get back at your former employer. Still, not a great look. And it's not like he was fired. He basically forced his way out.

Grifol hasn't even called a team meeting, YET. Ron Washington managed a 4-1 win for LAA Sunday after the first lecture about his Angels team and that "we can't get off track." "We just got to make certain that we come to be the ballpark ready to go." Maybe the City of Chicago will pay JR a bribe/kickback simply to go away and stop embarrassing the city...?

Swept Like Garbage! From:XXXXXXXXXXXXX To:jreinsdorf@chisox.com,cgetz@chisox.com Sunday, March 31st at 8:28 PM No longer a White Sox fan. Will NEVER watch or attend a game again! Disgusting year after disgusting year. Shame! Friend sent this e-mail over the weekend, haha.

At least that clears up all the Yosimar Cousin last name confusion. Thanks so much, JR.

First 0-3 start since 2015...

AL Central with three undefeated teams and then the winless Royals and Sox. Not a shocker.

How will the Ms bungle this one? Maybe they won't after all. Rodriguez can win it in extras.

Dodgers are just so hard to put away...
