Don't want to part with top guys? Kick rocks then.

Is he an everyday piece? Probably not. But I'd rather play him and see what he can do instead of playing Lopez or Shoemake or every other AAAA journeyman of the 40 man.

They will need arms, yes, I don't think he will be one of them though.

Which pitchers will be traded? Garrett Crochet - 60/40 no Ericke Fedde - Y Chris Flexen - Y Mike Clevinger - N, DFA'd in August. Michael Kopech - Y John Brebbia - Y Steven Wilson - N Tanner Banks - N Michael Soroka - Y Chad Kuhl - N Which positional players will be traded? Luis Robert - Y Paul DeJong - Y Tommy Pham - Y Gavin Sheets - N Andrew Vaughn - N Yoan Moncada - N, DFA'd in August. Eloy Jimenez - N, DFA'd in August. Nicky Lopez - N Martin Maldonado - N Andrew Benintendi - N

No one wants him. I think he's DFA'd at some point.

As with every illness plaguing this org, it starts and stops with him.

Being a large market team shouldn't prohibit them from drafting and developing well.

If they are willing to give up Norby, I don't want him, and he sure as hell isn't a headliner for Crochet. Fedde maybe, but definitely not Crochet.

Make a real offer or get fucked Orioles. Actually, just get fucked. I don't trust what they'd be willing to give up panning out.

Not just a headline editor, but a content editor as well.

If he were further away from FA, I would think he's silly for not taking guaranteed money now. But why commit to this dumpster fire org for your prime when you are close to huge money in a few short years? For him, the benefit probably outweighs the injury risk.

Let's see you write about this god awful org with any effort or enthusiasm on a regular basis, and then we'll see whose analysis is meh or too jokey. For Jim Margalus and James Fegan, it's their full time gig and they can dedicate all of their energy to it. For the rest it's a side gig making pennies. Maybe educate yourself before casting dispersions on the many dedicated people who care to put for the effort covering this fucking abomination of a franchise.

I'd really need to know what other offers were on the table for him. It feels like a classic bid-against-themselves while doubling down on the colossal mistake of taking him 4th.

Wait wait wait, they paid Bust Williams $90M? Ninety freaking million? This team is never going to be good again. WTH??‍♀️.

If all we could get for Cease was Thorpe+, please Chris, look elsewhere.

Robert to Seattle, please universe.

Narrator: he will.

White Sox to the history books:

Oh Lamont sucked, don't get me wrong. My point was more about Sox fans that claim TLR as a Sox great, when his time here he was pretty damned mediocre. Even without the dumpster fire second tenure. It's a weird flex, when, if anything, TLR's time with the Sox hurts his HOF case more than it helped.

No

Meh. Most of these mega deals for non-stars end up as bad money in short order.

$40M for a 3&D player. That has Thibs level of stupid written all over it.

I pay very little attention to the NBA any more, but how is 17ish ppg & <6 rebounds worth $212M?

When the goalpost moving is as circular as the arguments...

“I want us to play cleaner, winning-type baseball,” Getz said. About that...
