That’s fair. Def get the Tony concern.

They didn’t give up anything, though. This is McGuires value, which is basically waiver claim territory but nothing more.

CWS, you cant honestly be upset about this deal? We got a lefty reliever with a track record for a dude we were going to have to DFA or phantom IL in the coming days. We also have Perez in AAA, we don’t need 4 MLB catchers . Diekman isn’t anything to get excited about and don’t love the $4M in 23, but it’s a fine move.

Mmmmk

Secondary? Crochet is a pretty major piece by himself.

Smoke where, exactly?

Yes I got that far. Lost me at Lord of the Rings. May be a hot take to some, but I’d have to be paid a hefty hourly wage to subject myself to that theater.

Lost me at LOTR.

I suspect they'd slow play this another couple weeks so they could keep him in AAA until September. BTW - is the roster maxed out in September at 28 or 30? Cannot remember that rule change with the CBA.

Frankly should redo the whole lineup. Pollock should never sit against LHP.

And therefore no Bubic on Wed.

Not mad about that.

I frankly am hoping they do. I'd love to see the Twins blow a good chunk of their prospect capital chasing this season.

He clearly was sent back to Chicago for more tests because whatever is ailing him isn't getting better. They gave it a go, he DH's one game, didn't feel well, and they sent him back to Chicago for more tests. Which means he's likely at least a couple weeks away from returning because they're going to have to send him to AAA again. Just brutal.

Well it'd be nice if any of the dopes that cover this team actually try to get some fucking information on what is going on. I am not holding my breath, though. Like why is Merkin telling people that Robert is in the clubhouse, and then just crickets. Its annoying AF.

Sort of sad to see the O's subtract.

Yanks gonna have quite a 40 man crunch....

No roster move today, so clearly he's in Chicago for more testing. No bueno.

Color me....unsurprised. Hopefully we actually get the Monday update we were promised.

Sox fans love to get worked up about worthless mentions of the Sox tied to elite talent.

What in the world is dreamy about a 33 YO SP with an ERA and FIP just below 5 since the start of 2021? Not sure why the Sox would want Hendricks. Outside of Crochet, what you listed off for the Sox is pretty close to worthless and probably isn't getting you anything from the Cubs you listed outside of perhaps Givens and Robertson.

He's only due, what, like $3M ROS?

Engel isn't an impending FA fwiw.

Yeah idk. Seems stupid to let your best player be the one you fuck with to save Seby Zavala or Reese McGuire's roster spot. Really hoping I am wrong and Luis is activated today. The tealeaves just don't add up.
