If you told me it's cause Getz felt he needed to outdo Hahn, I'd believe it.

Should have traded him the moment they entered the rebuild.

If Getz really did make the call on Smith, I'm never gonna be happy unless he turns into a bonafide #1. This isn't Jacob Gonzalez bad, but it looks like an early whiff.

Just please call up any catcher, Lee or otherwise, and put them both in the lineup.

Schriffen: "Listen to this mic'd up!" Vargas: "Oomph."

Padres want Boston to take Cease and a rapidly plummeting in value Salas for Duran.

Yeah that was super clearly safe. Vargas did what he could.

Schriffen has an uncanny ability to make me annoyed during any situation.

Genuinely happy for you.

Where the f*** did that land?

Close up of Imanaga was great.

Boy do I hate to tell you who was in charge of player development during the last regime.

He's about to be back in the lineup and then traded in the 5th.

I do want the cause to be something hilariously stupid out of OOTP, like he got nut tapped by Civale.

I'm sure people come finger wag this, but Luis Robert has the loudest tools I've ever seen a White Sox player have and it bums me out to this day that they (Robert and the org) couldn't maximize his talent.

Taking Benetti out of it, anyone that's got a problem with J.K. Simmons is a chode.

Remember, that unlike with Reinsdorf, Robert's contract isn't a big deal for Steve Cohen cause I just love sharing this video

Anyway, I am once again sharing The Curious Case of Mark Buehrle. Buehrle's defense gets undersold in his argument. We all know about his fielding, but And that doesn't even consider the chilling effect of how many runners just didn't go against him because running against Buehrle was a terrible idea.

Mike Mussina says hi.

Ok, ya got me. If they become franchise cornerstones, sure. But if the roles were reversed, we would be seeing Tommy Edman and Michael Kopech once a decade (at least) for the next fifty years for celebrations at the Cell.

I think Vargas would actually learn a lot from Konerko, cause if he's gonna be a guy who does swing changes, why not learn from the dude who always tinkered?

Until Vargas, Perez or Albertus are contributors to a World Series winning team, the Dodgers won the trade. This is like saying the Sox lost the Carlos Lee trade cause Lee put up monster numbers for the next 4 seasons and Pods had one great year.

Most def. It's just disingenuous for people to talk about Our Chuck while he hypes up Hanser Alberto and then rag on Merkin. They both serve the same purpose, Merkin just doesn't come across holier than thou while somehow being beloved.

I think it's pretty clear the Dodgers won the trade.
