Take some pitches man

I feel embarrassed they’re still talking about that tag. I gave Cubs fans enough shit about the “Javy Baez is a great tagger” line to not be.

You can’t when you swing at anything.

Pollock is just brutal but I’d keep playing him every day so the value of his option goes up so he doesn’t take team option.

True

Why not just catch Grandal?

Why not just catch Grandal?

See!

Yeah and it hasn’t even been a fun watch lol outside of some of the pitching.

If they lose 2/3, they only fall back a game from Cleveland, not far enough to say it’s over and just enough to trick yourself into thinking they have a chance.

And even the backup to both those guys (Mendick) is out.

Sosa has looked so overmatched. Not saying he won’t improve but just don’t think it will be this year. The offense isn’t good enough to wait.

Give me the guy hitting .237 over the guy hitting .114.

Technically more if they were getting negative WAR from the position, which I'm assuming is lower than -1. But it also doesn't exactly equal Wins.

For league minimum its fine. Send Sosa down and keep Romy up for utility role.

Just looked up the details of his contract to see if there is a chance he opts out for next season. $10 mill player option or $5 mill buyout. He gets extra $1 mill added to the option at 400, 450, 500, 550, 600 plate appearances. I feel like there's a solid chance if/when that options gets to 450/500 PA. At that point, the option is $7-$8 mill. And who knows, maybe he gets to 550.

Ha I wish. But unless something happens to Jerry he is safe.

Hahn will put it towards more utility players and relievers.

It is provided on whitesox.com under "Roster."

Churning over the talent at the bottom part of the 40-man roster has definitely not been a strength of Hahn.

Jesus who the fuck is that lol

You’re good. The article on MLBTR even explains that Oakland would be on hook minus the league minimum paid by new team. The vesting option, however goes away.

Doesn't matter how much the new team pays him. It's just subtracted from what Oakland pays, hence why these signings are league minimum. Unless you mean he can get an extra year out of a new deal for next year?

One is on the 40-man roster, the other is not.

We're not claiming anyone. He's a free agent.
