Chicago White Sox

I think he’s packaged with one of the big three most likely, but I think people are underrating him. Since Jun 1st, he’s got a 2.70 ERA / 1.40 FIP with 13.5 K’s per nine and a 7.5 K:B ratio. Again, I have never actually seen him pitch well, but apparently he has based on those numbers and teams are desperate for relief pitchers this time of year.

He will 100% be traded and actually return something of value. He’s really damn good for the last month and a half, although it does feel like he sucks every night.

lol no…but the Rangers not selling would be nice. That might be inevitable to some degree though, so let’s go Brebbia!

What’s better from a deadline perspective…a clean 9th from Brebbia or a Rangers win?

McLain must be at least $150k under slot then, which makes much more sense to me

Sloan did FWIW.

What in the f*** Kopech

If this is Fedde’s last start with us, it’s been a joy to watch him pitch in this mostly shitshow of a season. Also, Kopech better strand that runner so Getz can try selling Fedde as a sub 3.00 ERA pitcher.

Good trade value game so far.

I don’t think signing the picks will take much time from GMs. I’m guessing right now is the normal slow dance of buyers and sellers both exchanging ridiculous proposals while looking for someone to pull a Perry Minasian and jump the market in an overly aggressive way.

If you’re interested in Crochet, doesn’t hurt to have some info out there that Tigers are listening to offers.

I know some people think protection doesn’t matter, but it’s hard to argue that the disaster of an offense surrounding hasn’t impacted him.

I know you’re mostly joking, but it sounds like they are calling up Locklear

Doesn’t this just mean whether they go on the active roster or return to the IL?

That leaves $900k above slot for our remaining three picks. Got to imagine gets at least $600k of that amount.

Who doesn’t like Seattle’s system?

We’re eight days from the deadline…I’m sure a few more will enter but a few bubble teams seem to be leaning towards buying now.

I think he’s gone before the deadline. We have seen a pretty big change in the way teams value prospects and I feel like it takes both a legit playoff race and the limited supply that comes with the trade deadline to get many GMs to go outside their comfort zone. Right now, there are a ton of potential buyers and very few sellers that potentially creates a very favorable environment to move Robert. And I’m not sure that the buyer pool will be radically different come this offseason, but the sense of urgency to trade a ton of prospects for Robert could very well be less. I think you sell now if you can get 90% of fair value.

Maybe, but they are still tied for the division lead and are only 2.5 games out of the Wild Card. I can’t see them wasting a year of this pitching staff when they have a loaded farm system they can tap into to get offensive reinforcements.

He’s doing NBA Summer League games over MLB games? Was he already committed to these when hired?

I don’t see how the Mariners don’t ultimately trade for Robert.

How do you feel about those three selections and the price we paid for them?

Wow…would be huge for us

If my math is right, we have $1.1M over slot for our first four picks.

Part of the reason to fire Grifol and give Sizemore the reigns. No manager can overcome this lack of talent, but a different voice might be able to get the best out of it. There is literally downside of firing Grifol and putting an existing coach in charge other Jerry having to a guy for doing nothing which we all know he hates.
