July 16, 20214 yr This one is great too: I don't think 90% of MLB fans understand that trade value is much more than just performance. Team control and surplus value matters just as much and Gallo is only under team control for one more season and he will be on a market rate through arb.

July 16, 20214 yr I just wonder how Not Cishek would explain how he knows the inside and out of all the White Sox trade discussions, yet had no clue Lopez was being called up and Bummer was being activated. he isn't the first fake insider who does this, and certainly not the last, but all these so called insiders have a ton of stuff that never happens, and explain it away as typical, yet have nothing about things that do happen.

C'mon those minor things just aren't worth his time. He only goes for the big stuff.

His value has to be sky high at the moment. I agree with you. Engel has been so damn good, just ride with him the rest of the year as the RF starter. Focus on 2B and relief pitching.

FWIW in my Twitter timeline, he is the first have Bummer up and Fry/Foster down.

He claims to know all the trade conversations. Jimmy had it first anyway. Jimmy is one of his sources. Maybe his only source. Edited July 16, 20214 yr by Dick Allen

He tweeted it before James, but I won't give him credit for it because anyone could have just checked the transactions page on the White Sox website and seen it yesterday

My point is, the guy who knows how trade conversations are going should know that, since it's been in the works for days. Edited July 16, 20214 yr by Dick Allen
July 16, 20214 yr Twitter debate going on right now I'm a bit surprised at how many Sox fans seemingly would do this deal for Frazier. It's a hard no for me. Burger/Stiever/Ramos/Rodriguez/Dalquist for Frazier E6boObpXMAwDQFM.jfif Edited July 16, 20214 yr by steveno89

When your main justification is that the player values are close in that dumb MLB Trade Simulator tool, you need a new argument. Edited July 16, 20214 yr by Sleepy Harold
