Jose Abreu

Nah, I would be pissed if they let a 60 game season cloud their judgment over 5 consecutive prior seasons of a wRC+ above 100 with solid defense

I'm pretty much down the middle on this move. I really liked Dunning but Lynn is awesome and it feels good to be on this side of trades again. Hoping we can extend him for another year or two though. Lynn, Joc, and Q would be a good offseason. All three are very underrated on this board IMO

I thought this was possible too but someone asked Passan and it's real

Damn. I've always really liked McClure. Wouldn't be surprised if he turns into a competent #4/5.

I've been increasingly skeptical of these accounts, but all 3 of the main ones seemed to be on point today. I'm still not convinced that they're all different people, but maybe they're all legit

When Joc signs with the Cardinals tomorrow, we can blame this guy for old time's sake

There were some on Friday that named Darvish specifically that went down after like 20 mins. I didn't screenshot though

NSC and the Portillo's account both seem to have been hinting at something like this over the past few days, including through since deleted tweets. I would like this trade assuming the big money owed to them both means we aren't giving up any super valuable prospects

Unless they're doing something crazy like a package of Darvish/Contreras/Bryant, I highly doubt any Cubs player has enough surplus value to necessitate Vaughn

I don't see why anyone wouldn't. It's not my money, and the team would instantly become the best in the AL for the foreseeable future

It's like the 2:50 mark

So in Trevor Bauer's latest vlog, he says he is speaking to fellow MLB players about their thoughts about the league and how they can make the game better. But all the players he spoke to were either ex-teammates, Adam Cimber, Jared Hughes (Mets), or Lucas Giolito. I'm sure some interesting things were shared on that last call

In recent years, the U.S. hasn't even been secretive about it. It's painfully obvious that billionaires are running and simultaneously ruining the country, but most people just don't care

And Joc is better offensively than Rosario, so you’re really not sacrificing anything

If you're going to base your opinion of him on a 126 PA sample, you need to have something more than just the results of the PAs. As someone who watched many of them, he was killing the ball and seemed to be pretty unlucky. He had a .270 BABIP which, for a player of his caliber, is probably at least 60 points below what it would actually be over a real sample at A+

Vaughn after his spring training contract extension

He never had White Sox related images or information in the first place

So analytics coordinator is a dugout role?

I’m just confused at this point. Both national guys and our own insiders like Harold are saying the Sox will be spending this offseason, especially after hiring TLR. But not on Bauer, not on Springer, not on insert real difference-maker here. Maybe my idea of spending is just misguided. That said, I would be happy, although not overwhelmed, by an offseason of Joc + Lynn + Quintana, or something close to that

I can’t speak for Richmond, whom I’m less familiar with, but no leftist considers Neera Tanden to be one of them, FWIW. I think people see her race/gender and occupation and just assume she’s progressive. Her actual views that I see her express are fairly close to Biden’s
