Gotta love this NL style baseball! So much strategy!

For what it's worth, I'm talking purely in a vacuum. Going forward I'm with you.

I think we'd all rather he play at DH/1B, but him suddenly turning himself into a league average LF (per advanced metrics that I can find / understand) was a necessary evil that saved the season.

Andrew Vaughn is pretty good at baseball.

Lance with the butt assist.

This made me look up how Ed Howard is doing. Looks like he's also been hit hard by having to jump straight to A ball, slashing .200/.253/.528. Looking back, if we had taken him over Crochet/Detmers and he was putting those numbers up, we'd be in extreme panic mode.

Those Wrigleyville jerseys are so bad.

Somewhere, Nick Madrigal is telling himself that about his home runs.

Fanbases are meaningless when it comes to actual deals, but OKC fans seem to be cool with offering Bazley in a S&T for Lauri. Not real good, but he's young and has a good defensive rebounding percentage. Donovan would be familiar with him.

He in the season opener against Charlotte two years ago. He was aggressive as hell. I mean, look at these dunks! Then Jimbo parked him on the 3 point line and Lauri just died mentally. This Lauri would turn the bench into a Bizarro Bench Mob, focused on offense rather than defense. At this point, dude might need to take the QO, get to the playoffs, then jet.

Lauri really misplayed his hand every step of the way. It sucks that he took such a massive step back under Jimbo, but he was also offered an extension last year and according to K.C. they were only $4M apart so Lauri messed up big time.

Let's not deviate into politics here.

When the Cubs throw Codi Heuer at us, we counter with this frightening man:

Really praying that Luis Robert is still a golden god in center field if we're flanking him with Eloy and Vaughn.

Touche. At worst, carrying around the Theis TPE and a Lauri TPE is more than Gar would ever do. Or Gar would have them, then let them expire like the forever atrocious Kyle Korver deal.

Well, that sucks. Charlotte is one of the only teams that can probably offer Lauri more than the Bulls feel comfortable matching.

Or that Caulfield is a bad catching candidate.

Kimbrel trade was worth it for this image alone

Thank goodness they went with a modern cut. Putting the Sox athletes in ye olde looking uniforms would have been an awful mistake.

From Fegan's very detailed, very excellent prospect write up

They don't always have mental health problems. Sometimes they're just shit people.

This is where @Chisoxfn will point out that the DeRozan and Vuc moves set the Bulls up with contracts that can be moved for a disgruntled KD.

Yolbert 1-4 tonight, 14 game hitting streak. It'll end now that I've pointed it out.

Shittu returns.
