I know there is an injured player exception but I have no idea how it works or what it would achieve.

I'll admit that I haven't followed him at all since the trade and was going off of what we saw here.

More singles, more bad defense, and more bad base running. Sign me up!

If the Cubs took Joe Kelly and his bad deal straight up, that would be a yes from me then. Call it a reverse Kimbrel.

No thank you

So when this season crashes and burns like last season, and the Bulls are maxed out in talent and salary, who takes the fall? The brand new president of basketball ops that created this mess, or the average head coach they just gave more years to? Ugh.

Yikes. Gawd the Bulls are as dumb as the Sox.

So when are they going to make this official?

If death is on the line, I'm gonna take the safe bet and say no. But I could see Gallo or Benintendi if I squint. Maybe. I just get the feeling we are in for an Adam Eaton & Matt Davidson trades sort of winter.

That is true. I probably just assumed that it was either non-existent or filled with lackeys because Duncan obviously wasn't an analytics person. Either way, I hope who ever is there now actually knows and cares about what they are doing.

Damn, the Sox non-tendered the next Babe Ruth like it was nothing… ?

Has there been any mention of a revamped analytics department? I know Grifol has said he embraces the data, just curious if they cleaned house there too and can’t remember either way.

JR might have been willing to go higher to retain Abreu, but I don’t it meant spending higher elsewhere.

I’m just gonna leave this here…

Must be nice to be a fan of a team willing to spend and go all in to win.

I would love him on the Mets. Please go play for a team not afraid to spend to win.

That one time when ‘All In’ was their slogan and it crashed and burned spectacularly? Wait, not so much then either. Nevermind.

Dear JR, Kindly and politely, Go f*** Yourself. Spare us the empty drivel. You alone sir are the reason a franchise icon donned another uniform today. This icon gave so much of his playing career to your sorry organization, and left because he wanted a chance to win. Something you and your ways have made impossible to do under your watch. Your hollow words are just another in a long line of hearty “f*** you’s” to your die hard, loyal, long suffering fans. Please do us all a favor and cash out, sell controlling interest in our beloved White Sox, and ride off into the sunset of baseball obscurity. Give us the gift of hope that we might someday finally reach the promised land again without your greedy tendrils impeding the pursuit of excellence. Please sir, go away, leave us be, and let us never hear you utter a single word about the Chicago White Sox again. Sincerely, An embittered White Sox fan

hahaha just STFU Hahn…

What do we know about José Castro? Edit - saw the blurb in the other thread.

So 36 would be really bad. Like, really really bad. Awesome.
