Ken’s on point with his… well… points. Wonder how in the hell they would accomplish the item above though.

Sounds about right.

That’s insane! Wow!!

Thankfully I’ve had a metric poop ton of work pop up over the past two weeks - so that’s kept me occupied and has prevented MCU explorations and missing baseball insanity onset. ?

This sucks.

This. Sucks.

This is your daily reminder that Nick Madrigal sucks.

This is exactly how trades work among major league executives.

I feel sorry for the guy.

Fuck Nick Madrigal.

BTW: eww to Solano and Rosario

White Sox “Wish List” post lockout according to Bleacher Report. Remember this is just their opinion and is not based on any sources: ”Chicago White Sox 1. LHP Carlos Rodon: With respect to Clayton Kershaw, reuniting with Rodon is the best way the White Sox can satisfy their desire for a "front -ine starter," which USA Today's Bob Nightengale reported they are seeking. 2. 2B Donovan Solano: Matching a free agent to Chicago's other desire for a second baseman is trickier, but Solano is a bat-to-ball guy who'd fit well in its lineup. 3. LF Eddie Rosario: This one's more of a reach, but signing the reigning NLCS MVP would allow the Sox to move Eloy Jimenez to DH, where he belongs.”

I can’t recall any other commissioner regularly being booed at all levels of the sport… From draft days to World Series trophy presentations and many other spots in between.

I absolutely agree! Escobar or Wendle would have been great pickups. I would have preferred Wendle and I’m still hopeful that they’ll address second base adequately. I also wouldn’t have been completely against trading Madrigal for the right type of player. My preference would have been to upgrade the starting rotation if he was going to be moved. Bottom line is it was about the worst utilization of using him as an asset and we’ll see where things are in March.

Yea they did such a great job of replacing a temporary injury for negative value at the position last year.

I am the egg man. I am the walrus. Koo-koo-ka-chu. Koo-koo-ka-chu.

I was told it was going to be easy to replace Madrigal because second base is an easy position to find a player at.

?‍♂️

It’s at least usually filled by fun milestones… like if it wasn’t for the damned lockout we’d have the winter meetings to look forward to on Monday or sometime around there.

It’s going to be a long off-season.

It’s going to be a long off-season.

Thanks for that tidbit

Probably take home about 60% or more depending on what state. About 3% for agent fees is common from what I understand and in California for example at that tax bracket you’re looking at around 35%+ for state and federal combined.

Schwarber is seeking 3 years / 60 million. I’m pretty surprised that’s what he’s reportedly looking for. https://fansided.com/2021/12/02/mlb-rumors-kyle-schwarber-contract-demands/amp/
