This. The guy showed decent stuff with dynamite control, until he got fatigued (understandably so). This guy can easily be a #3 pitcher for years to come.

He will be Shane Bieber-lite

Honestly, agreed. What kind of wimp let's his girlfriend (not even wife) dictate his living location while taking 7m less in a deal? The guy has no backbone.

There's just no way the sox take on Harper's contract

I have a bad feeling that a Dunning trade will really bite us in the ass.

They should. Only 2 teams in the league wanted him at his given contract. He bolstered his value a but this year, but is also a year older. A deal revolving around Stiever while eating all his payroll is what I would do. Otherwise, just freaking sign Trevor Bauer.

If they add Wheeler, I don't think you add Q. Sox can hedge their bets on Kopech/Dunning/Cease for the 4 and 5 spots.

I wonder if the only way a deal gets done is if the Phillies eat some cash. I'd rather the Sox eat his entire salary and not have to deal Dunning.

What do you guys give up for Wheeler, assuming they don't eat any money in the deal? Stiever + Micker?

Wheeler let his girlfriend dictate where he landed. He turned down an extra 7m to go to the destination of her choice. The guy is clearly a low testosterone cuck, and I don't want him.

Sheets is a nothingburger. Im surprised he has any value at this point.

Shorter pitchers past the age of 30 scare me. It's probably an unfair assumption, but it feels like the shorter pitchers don't age as well. It reminds me of Tim Lincecum.

The second wave would be nice, but you need to be a world series contender in the first place. Trading a guy like Thompson is absolutely something that should be done if it improves our roster now.

I'm back on the Southside. The Cubs letting Len go was the last straw.

What, I'm supposed to be impressed because he hit a homerun that stayed on the scoreboard? Fuck that guy. Once a Cub, always a Cub. I don't want him anywhere near my team.

Unfortunately, you can only change your name once a year, and it seems the Sox won't give Yermin a fair shot. Can my name be changed back to ron883? Thank you moderation crew.

Jack I'm surprised by this. I expected a more positive, rosy take from you.

If anybody wants to taste the sweet tears of Cubby fans. They are irate over this. I also see the Cubs fans trying to make themselves feel better by saying Eloy is only a 2-3 WAR player due to his defense, lol.

Yermin! Yermin!

Real convenient time for Kasper to switch sides in this city. He sounds like a bandwagoner tbh

https://www.nbcsports.com/chicago/white-sox/lucas-giolito-tony-la-russa-theres-not-much-complain-about-there Probably posted before, but whatever. Giolito on La Russa "I've had a couple conversations with him on the phone, and we didn't get into too many specifics, but I am a big fan of his coaching philosophy, I guess you could say".

I did.

What sort of idiot believes the numbers coming from China? You know, the country that is trying to hide their Uyghurian concentration camps from the world. Surely they are being truthful about their covid numbers.

New Zealand is an island with a population half the size of the Chicago metro area. Using them as an example of how the US should have done things is laughable

Imagine defending how China handled covid. Just lol.
