MLB 2021-2 off season thread
I dunno, Laurence Holmes on 670 The Score thinks he would be the perfect fit next to Tim Anderson in the infield. I believe he said Tim would be fine shifting to 2B for him, too. El Mago to the White Sox baby!

Where could Kimbrel be traded, and for what?
He had to have known he would be at least a part time setup man. I haven't seen anything indicating he would be a full time closer, and there's no way they would promise that and remove Hendriks from the closer role. I guess if he was promised he would be a co-closer this would make sense. Not sure the results would have changed much, since he sucked as a setup man and would likely continue sucking as one. It's pretty mind boggling he never got a shot at closing.

Apparently the front office acquired Kimbrel to be at least a part time closer with Hendriks, but TLR big timed the front office and refused to use him as a closer. None of the local or national reporters have reported this, but internet poster Harold's Leg Lift has implied it.

Reporters would love a juicy story showing the rift between Hahn and TLR, and TLR completely disregarding Hahn's plan for Kimbrel. Strange nobody has caught word of this yet.

Has Hahn confirmed that he was brought in to be a closer? Where is that idea coming from? Because he obviously wasn't used as a closer.

I want Semien but we have a bigger need
On the rare occasion that he is healthy and after the corner OFs cost the pitcher some earned runs.
-

Agreed. Throwing out pure garbage in the corners isn't a viable strategy.
-

Pitchers will love having Eloy and Vaughn/Sheets patrolling the corners.

Kendall Graveman agrees to deal w/Sox 3/$24
Nobody carried water for Hahn more than you did in the past.

Robbie Ray to the Mariners, 5 years $115 million
The TLR manager rumor.

Those medicals for Escobar though. Very scary. Too scary for Hahn.

2021-22 NBA Thread
I hope Wendell mires in mediocrity, as bad as that sounds. I had some heated debates with Magic fans who swore he was good and that the Magic swindled the Bulls in that trade. Left a bad taste in my mouth Wendell was so unbelievably frustrating to me last season. Good riddance.

@Look at Ray Ray Run Wendell Carter might be passing up Sexton at this point unfortunately, he got better after being traded to another team.

This offseason is a complete failure. I'm done with this team. Fuck everybody.

Would you rather trade Eloy or Vaughn?
I don't think Vaughn's value is at a low point. He held his own despite skipping AA and AAA. He also proved he can play LF.

Seiya Suzuki
I gotta give Bruce credit for one thing. He is shamelessly awful at tweeting, but he doesn't give a shit. He just rolls with it. It's like your grandpa trying to tweet, except it's a huge part of his job yet he just doesn't care that his tweets are always riddled with errors. Pretty hilarious actually.

He read it on Not Steve Cishek's twitter

Would you rather trade Eloy or Vaughn?
Purely hypothetical. There's an obvious roster crunch with the fringe OF/DH/1st base players. The team also needs to be more left handed. Both of these guys can play LF. If the team was to trade one of these guys, which would you prefer?

Sox to talk about Semien with Boras
The cutoff for savage is .875. He's slightly below savage unfortunately.
