MLB tried to argue that players should be exempt as "creative professionals." Judge rejected it.

I'm aware they can. They still can't play in Toronto.

While frustrating on several levels, I'd still sign him since the Sox would only lose him and Graveman for one series.

Aaron Judge (and other Yankees, if Heyman is to be believed) about to risk a whole lotta games.

THE SOX ARE TRADING FOR TROUT

1. Flip Keuchel for Moustakas and prospects. 2. Flip Moustakas for Hosmer and prospects. 3. Flip Hosmer, cash and prospects for Oakland pitcher 4. ??? 5. Profit

Can Jake Burger equal one Todd Frazier

While I don't expect Greinke to be here for this and other reasons, no one has hated the White Sox more in recent memory than Morneau.

After pretty much all of their OF went down with injuries Sheets had been working on his OF defense for a year after they drafted Vaughn Those two are much more athletic than Yermin They can also catch a ball Right now they still have the following options instead of Yermin: Eloy, Engel, Leury, Harrison, Sheets, Vaughn, Romy, and worst comes to worst, Cespedes, Basabe, and maybe Micker if he's still around? Hell, Mendick, Burger, and Velazquez are in the corners before Yermin. I didn't include Robert because he's in center field in all scenarios.

I don't know what's more ridiculous between Yermin working out in LF or you thinking they would actually consider using him there.

Sheets and Burger are right there and you just want to hurt us.

If my boss paid me $340M and that hobby could possibly put my entire career at risk...yes? From a Washington Post story in 2015 The Bulls were kind enough to pay Jay Williams $3M to cover medical expenses. They could have left him high and dry.

CJ Abrams = Kirk Hinrich???

Lmao. Tatis is trying to blame the lockout for his wrist.

Caulfield's new favorite.

On top of not having the shoulder surgery...so that he could be ready for the postseason last year.

At least James Shields helped Giolito, right...right?

Dude is heading towards Derrick Rose territory, except the team is locked into the contract.

I'd certainly be cool with one.

Appreciated.

That basically leaves, what, the Dodgers as a Kimbrel suitor?

Buster Olney googled it, saw "team options" and was like "nah, Chicago isn't allowed to have a franchise shortstop."

He has two team options: $12.5M in 2023 and $14M in 2024.

I remember thinking Buster Olney was good at his job when I was like, 12.

The Blue Jays love this.
