Between 1/4 to 1/3 of the innings Garrett has thrown in the past 6 years (college, minors, MLB).

Korey Lee also has game at 1B in the minors.

I’m not sure. We would only get compensation if he finishes top 3 in RoY voting, right?

I don’t in my free time. During the work day though, it’s needed background noise. And I can only re-watch my favorite shows and movies so many times haha

Over 50% chance (near 80% 2 of the days) of rain each day Sunday-Wednesday. Maybe this happens.

It doesn’t bother me too much. Working from home, there’s at least games to watch in the afternoon. Can’t say that about other sports.

I count only 27 players on the active roster and a quick search says AAA rosters are 28. In the Knights transactions, it also notes that Grossman is assigned there.

Kinda weird seeing 4 infielders on a 27-man roster. Is Colas, or one of the other OFs, going to be used mostly at 1B?

Hoping a game or two gets PPD to push back the need for a 5th starter and we get the extra year. It's really only like, 11 days.

The best part was the 3 hours of tailgating, which was longer than the actual game. Significantly.

Yes lol Hoping that if everything goes well this year, he signs a team friendlyish extension since the Sox: 1) Started his service time the year he was drafted 2) Missed a full season due to surgery, as well as additional time missed 3) They let him build up as a starter at the MLB level

Was at the game. Turned out exactly as you’d expect.

Grossman is who I wanted in 2021 when they signed the shell of Adam Eaton

He has to be on the active roster at some point. 60-day IL all year doesn’t do that. But yes, him going on the IL at least for the start makes it easier. Figure it out later when other injuries happen.

That’s awesome! (Who is this)

Bobble arm

Wear him out until he’s DFA’d.

Hmmmmm he's a glorified opener.

To get to the 5th starter (pending any PPDs), Bryan Shaw DFA

I was thinking of that earlier too. Like couldn't he start the first game of the season for Charlotte? He only needs to be in the minors for what, 10-11 days? Seems worth it to have just had Kopech make a start or two.

Going back to this, if they really are going with a 9-man pen for the first 5 games of the season (won't really need another starter until game 6 of the season), maybe we will get lucky with a rain out or two pushing the need back a couple weeks. We will see I guess.

I think they let him opt out (that was the date veterans could opt out and the article also said it’s not confirmed if he did or not) to see if he could get a better guarantee.

Was it confirmed to be league minimum? The only thing I can find about the amount (in the article on whitesox.com) was that it was less than the $3M agreement prior.

Play him! He had a good spring and deserves to play over the 37-year old, 2023 worst catcher.

Most of the decisions people are complaining about deserve the complaints. Not just “complaining about everything.” It’s a really, really dumb organization.
