That person has tried (and failed numerous times) playing "insider" this off-season

Chaz

My issue with Odor is he just hasn't shown any upside in recent years. He's a negative defender since 2019 per DRS (OAA was more favorable towards him until last season), and while his career OPS against RHP may be .725, from 2019 to now it's been .678, .737 (2020 short season), .625, and .645. That's putrid production.

Cancer sucks, f*** cancer. I wish Liam nothing but the best and hope he has a speedy recovery.

Odor's savant page induces nausea. A NRI? I guess, sure. Dude had a 645 OPS vs righties last year and was a bad defender, and also has been below lg avg hitter since 2017. I'd much rather let Lenyn run with 2B than have this as the alternative.

The "Basically Stay Healthy" plan, the White Sox should be blowing his phone up then.

Of everything that went wrong last season, the team's handling of injuries (for the majority of the season, not so much post-TLR) is still the most puzzling aspect to me.

Official now

That over parts of ten seasons is absolutely putrid.

Some video on the Sox upcoming signing

They do in the minors with relative ease so I don't envision it being an issue.

Yeah the pitch clock in action is fantastic, wish they would've done it sooner.

Yeah as like a gimmick jersey or especially a giveaway I'd be all over those, and I couldn't care less about the Bulls. I'd rather see those than the '83s at this point.

You'd think the stadium would have to be OAK or TB.

I remember going to the first TB series in April after a Sox win (think they were 6-3 at the time) and thinking to myself, "Ok, maybe this actually is a good team", promptly followed by that losing streak and the excuses of "it's cold/it's early/injuries/etc ". Thankfully the minors kept me distracted from the clown show that was the ML club. Seeing the individual progress down there and making my first trip to the affiliates was memorable in an otherwise trainwreck of a baseball season.

Blasphemy, TA is a C in my heart

Here's another horrendous trade idea from a Mets fan in case anyone wanted a good laugh this morning.
