I would have preferred to have punted on Grandal and went with All-Star McCann and prospect Collins at catcher and spent the money on another quality starter. At this point any trade depends on what another team wants in exchange for a proven starting pitcher. This is not a popular opinion, but I would not take any of our prospects off the table if they can coax a trade for a decent, durable starter from another team.

Send Goins, Delmonico and Collins down. Bring Madrigal, Mazara and Yermin up.

Rodon is settling down. Keep hope ....for a few innings.

wut?

Yeah, let's trade our best catcher, an All-Star last year, and keep fuking Collins. LOL.

Collins as a pinch hitter? Should have brought up Yermin. We do not need three catchers dude.

back at you

McCann?

Collins sucks

Mazara and Madrigal need to get here.

Madrigal can't hit home runs but you would have liked his chances to hit a single in that situation. Instead we have Leury and Collins.

Ballgame

Take.

Need a walk.

Come on Panther

Please no double play

Grandal swung at ball 3 and ball 4.

Ozzie for interim Manager if this sh1t continues. I'm fuking serious.

wow fuk.

Pitcher has no idea where it is going. Just getting lucky with a few throws. One more breaker here.

I have some experience practicing law in IL, but Texas has some similar laws that pertain, i.e., future earnings potential is taken into account in Divorce proceedings. If Kopech had pitched this season and established himself as a front line starter or reliever, that would greatly impact the Divorce case.

Not sure about Texas family law (where he filed for divorce) , but generally, unless Kopech had a bullet proof prenuptial agreement, it would not make any sense to sign a big contract with the White Sox, where the income from that might be considered as marital property. Until the child is born, child custody and child support could not be determined or agreed upon. For these and other legal reasons I believe Kopech was well served by his father (I think I heard he was an an attorney) and his Divorce lawyer who likely advised him to resolve the Divorce, custody, alimony, and child support issues before proceeding with his career. If this was only about baseball or even covid-19, Kopech would be here. I am sure he will be here next season, and he will be wiser and stronger, just like any of us become after we have to come back from the mistakes we all make in life.

I would sign a 1 year extension for EE and definitely try to sign James McCann to a 3 or 4 year deal. Collins is a good starting or back-up catcher for another team so he has trade value.

I read the Tribune article that Kopech filed for divorce on June 19 in Texas. The reasons are none of our business. It would be great if he could opt back in for this season. i read there was a rule that a player can't. but wouldn't there be an exception for certain circumstances like this/

It is strange how Renteria and the FO are not being truthful about Mazara who must have it. And now I wonder whether Moncada may have tested positive again. It was just weird to rest him in game 3 of an important series against the Twins.
