Giolito to the Red Sox, 2 years $38.5 million, Y1 opt out
Just don't have him pitch the Patriots' Day game.

Sox sign former Royal LHRP Tim Hill to 1-year, $1.8M contract
Ah the mystery lefty. Just like the mystery teams that pop up in free agency for Boras clients. See? We do have a seat at the table.

White Sox sign Martin Maldonado 1 year/4 million, vesting option for 2025
I was hoping the Stassi trade would make them not sign guys like Maldonado.

What the f***? Why?

2023-24 NFL Season Thread
The Bears have had one of the easiest schedules in the NFL. Sure the record if they win 7 games looks acceptable, but the way they went about it gives me almost no confidence in the coaching staff.

No, because if the Panthers somehow win out the pick can actually go to 3 if their SOS ends up higher than the Pats'.

There's no scenario in which the Cards win the tiebreaker over the Panthers. Their SOS is .40 higher than the Panthers. It's impossible to make up with 2 weeks left.

The Pats' win has all but locked up the #1 pick for the Bears. One more Panthers loss and it's locked.

They let a 3 score game in the 2nd quarter get down to a 1 score game in the 4th, again. Offense looked like world beaters for a quarter and a half and stalled out for the rest of the game. The Bears need a whole new coaching staff.

White Sox Early PECOTA Projections
I can see why projection systems might be a bit pessimistic on Robert due to his swing and miss issues. I just don't see how they can be so optimistic on Benintendi. His defense also fell off a cliff last year. Part of his value before was that he was a good left fielder. Not anymore.

White Sox Early PECOTA Projections
Fedde having higher projected WAR than Cease is hilarious. PECOTA has been bad for a while so no surprise.

More competition for Baltimore...the team with the prospects we should actually want.

FWIW, Fields just had his worst PFF rating of the year yesterday at 48. His season rating before that was 75.1. I think it's time to move on. Hopefully he plays well enough for the rest of the season for a team like Atlanta to give up a 2nd rounder for him.

I think we end up winning 6 or 7 games. Losing out puts us in the top 5. I'd honestly just rather lose out unless a week 18 win keeps the Packers out of the playoffs.

I'm not opposed to taking Williams but he has really similar problems to Fields. Both hold the ball for a long time to go big game hunting. Both have problems with ball security. Williams even more so than Fields. Williams has a much quicker release which may be the difference between failure and success in the NFL.

Patrick Williams having a really good game today. He's been much better ever since Giannis blocked the s%*# out of him.

He threw 138 pitches in his last game in the NPB. Granted it was game 6 of a championship series. I'm not sure if he was often used like that, but there's a lot of mileage on his arm. I don't think he'll be average. Senga was a worse pitcher and he was very good last year. Provided Yamamoto can stay healthy, he should be really good.

He took huge steps back today. The bad accuracy from earlier in the season came back. The Giants blitzed him a lot and he didn't look quite as comfortable under pressure as he had against the Chiefs.

I thought the Bears blew the worst game of the season against the Lions, but the Dolphins just one-upped them by giving up a 14 point lead to the Titans with a little under 4 minutes to go.

He really should be yelling at Toney. This is a terrible look for Mahomes and I feel like the general consensus among football fans was that Mahomes already gets a bunch of calls. Him saying the refs should ignore the rules late in the game just validates that consensus. This is like kids saying cool plays should stand because they're cool...that's not how sports should work.
