Quin

So did Gallo in 2020 and 2021, where he was primarily a right fielder. I didn't even think of the shift, which Bob pointed out.

@Bob Sacamano, I see your laugh react, but it's clear that Jim Bowden read my Cocaine Elmo post. It's happening.

Jim Bowden, who we all know is 100% nails when it comes to forecasting things: Top Free Agents 1. Aaron Judge Best fits: Yankees, Dodgers, Giants, Mets, White Sox Contract prediction: 8 years, $330 million 7. Carlos Rodon Best fits: Giants, Cardinals, Braves, Mets, Orioles, Yankees, Red Sox, Angels, Blue Jays Contract prediction: 5 years, $144 million 16. Brandon Nimmo Best fits: Mets, Blue Jays, Yankees, Padres, Rangers, Royals, Tigers Contract prediction: 5 years, $100 million 18. Jose Abreu Best fits: Padres, Cubs, Rays, Rangers, White Sox Contract prediction: 2 years, $34 million 21. Michael Conforto Best fits: Mets, Marlins, White Sox, Rays, Red Sox, Blue Jays, Padres, Braves Contract prediction: 2 years, $34 million with an opt out after Year 1

The funny thing is you know someone out there is upset about this.

Quality.

I vote we talk about Charlotte's new jerseys instead:

This is A+ teamwork and communication.

Conforto. If we're adding to the outfield, we need a guy that can go to right field.

There might be a meme template in here.

Pat looking more aggressive lately has been a welcome surprise. I was genuinely shocked when I saw this last night:

I will miss Cairo's A+ penmanship for those lineups.

If only he wasn't a sentient trash bag.

Bryce Harper on a mission. That ball was obliterated.

A big fat stack of cash.

Eloy in shambles.

Cons: Royals org Pro: His analytics stance, his non-Menechinan home run stance, Spanish-speaking, bringing an experienced manager as a bench coach, canning the non-Katz staff. I'm cool with it for now. Feeling a lot better than I was before, even if it is just snippets people are dumping in here to hype him up.

The other possible take is the Royals wanted him, but hired Quatraro after Grifol told them he'd go to the Sox.

When it was good from 2004-2006, but then Ozzie started buying into his own mythos and put us through the nightmare that was the Mark Kotsay/Andruw Jones rotating DH nightmare instead of bringing back Thome, who hit that fucking monster shot off of Thornton. In case anyone needs me to drop a source

The fact that we learned Willie interviewed after the fact was all we needed to know about it.

"Dear Blue Jays outfielder Kenny Williams, The White Sox should call up Frank Thomas."

Woah there Chris Sale, them's fightin' words.

That's just gonna be the going rate at this point. Which we all know is why the team should have shelled out for 26-year-old Harper, but Jerry had to Jerry.
