Yes. DRS he was -9 last year and -19 in 2018. URZ he's -4.9 and -12.3 in 2018. He's -12.6 in defensive WAR. He's a butcher.

I like defense. That's my reason.

I'd rather have Mazara in RF everyday than sharing with Castellanos

Yeah that's what I got out of it

Oh that's what I thought you were looking at. I don't know how they calculate it. Just defensively to break down URZ or DRS Puig is superior. But yeah he could explode. I think it's an interesting opportunity to improve though if the White Sox already went through the motions on controlling him.

Ultimately Mazara shouldn't be the starting RFer opening day with any club. He has to earn his way back into the fold. Puig is a superior player. I'm assuming that the White Sox internally already went through the motions about dealing with his attitude.

Unless I'm missing something. Fangraphs had him at 0 DRS last year between 2 teams. then +6 in 2018 and +18 in 2017 in RF. His DRS stats in CF are pretty good too.

Where are you seeing that? In DRS he's at 0 which is perfectly fine.

Being against change is one thing. Running around on the baseball field doing the same old shit and plugging your ears is another. None of that's good.

Ah that may be. Was trying to find it again to listen to it. Either way that's not exactly a good thing.

Isn't that what Evan Grant the Texas Rangers beat writer said right when the trade was happening? They said he lost interest.

I mean if you get Puig I'd just rest Mazara on the bench. I don't know how the White Sox plan on fixing Mazara's lack of interest. DRS is also fairly kind to Puig.

I did. I can feel their pain with the starting pitcher issue.

Also...EE absolutely kills the Twins.

I don't think Robert signs an extension. But that's just me.

Good deal. Glad this got closed up today. Wasn't paying attention to Twitter today thinking it would happen next week sometime. I'd like to add a short term 2nd baseman if possible. But that's just cherry ontop move.

Cool. What about the time he got the Dwight Howard trade wrong 3 times?

DRS likes Castellanos as much as it likes Matt Kemp

Trying to figure out how Boras is playing this or if this is a plant by him because his market is dried up is futile.

Still think the Blue Jays will be in the running though.

Twins fans are ultra pissed on the Twins Subreddit. It's quite amusing.

Well this was a nice Saturday surprise!

You know the sport is in a good place when trades like this have to be made.

Except that statement is flat out false. There's nothing saying that they can't try harder this offseason to add premium talent. They just won't for a multitude of reasons. But to say that it's out of their control is false.
