Chicago White Sox

You hearing anything on a potential deal raBBit?

Feels like something about to pop...

Now Portillo’s just liked this tweet:

If my Twitter timeline all fucked or is Al’s Beef retweeted a bunch of Burnes videos now?

Random retweet by Not Cishek ?

Portillo’s randomly brought up Springer to the Blue Jays as well

Flash has already claimed that Burnes is the odds on favorite to win NL Cy Young next year, so I’m pretty sure he’s saying Burnes will outperform Giolito next year.

Bet what?

FWIW, Lucas Giolito has the highest Zips projection amongst all starters next year, so saying someone is better than him based on 12 awesome starts is being pretty ambitious.

The way I look at the latter proposal is you’d be giving up a top 50 prospect who is high floor but low ceiling (which is an unusual centerpiece), two SP prospects who could quickly enter the bottom of top 100 lists next year, and and a controllable reliever who has already posted great numbers and has closer potential. To be honest, that’s a lot of talent to give up, even if it’s not an overly sexy package. The challenge is it doesn’t give the Brewers an immediate replacement for Burnes, which means they’d be taking a step back next year and that seems unlikely unless they were to make additional “retooling” type moves.

Theoretically he’s a major league ready starter to replace Burnes. I wouldn’t be shocked if there were teams dying to get their hands on Lopez based on how badly Cooper butchered, but he’d definitely a secondary piece to any trade.

Burnes for Madrigal + Heuer + Lopez + Kelley Who says no? If you say the Brewers, what if you replace Lopez with Stiever?

I don’t think he knows shit unfortunately

Where are you seeing this?

And that’s a totally fair perspective, but the Brewers aren’t going to give him away for cheap after the season he just had.

That’s not coming close to getting Burnes

Locking his mouth and throwing away the key

Oh fuck

He stayed healthy last year ?‍♂️

That Reddit rumor has to be bullshit unfortunately.

Important life lesson here, but before you send 67 sexually oriented text messages (including a dick pic) to a member of the opposite sex without getting any sort of response, maybe just rub one out and call it a day.

Lester getting $5M makes it feel like Quintana & Richards should get closer to $10M. They better find a way to land one of these guys. Also, random thought, but given all the concerns over Richards’ health, if we signed him I wouldn’t be against forming a Garrett tandem with him and Crochet. Cap Richards at five innings per start and then give Crochet three afterwards. If we are going to use Crochet out of the bullpen, I do like the idea of keeping him on a starters schedule and this may be a way to solve that. And if Richards were to go down at some point, I’d probably just replace him with Kopech and keep the same arrangement going.

They were but that doesn’t change what actually occurred

They simply have an owner who wants to win above all else.

Fernando Tatis Jr signed for like $800k. I get the hit rate on these kids is low, especially for us, but I’d rather have three lottery tickets then sign a guy like Sanchez who is both older and with a limited ceiling. At some point you’re bound to get lucky and hit with one of these teenage signings if you keep investing in that area.
