amazing that he got that long form answer out of them but...we dont' know the return?

Not high praise for the farm.

Crochet is a guy who might turn into a TOR starter and make this deal a huge win for the Cubs.

Crochet is a guy who might turn into a 3-4-5 starter and make this a fair deal.

Crochet is a guy who might stay the back end bullpen guy he is now and make this deal a huge win for the Sox.

This is exactly how I feel.

A penny pinching organization trading 6 years of a pitcher for a set up man making 16 million.

I quit.

Yeah, not a fan at first blush.  Not a good use of limited dollars, or Crochet.

Rosenthal also reported Sox on Kimbrel.

Yeah it's real for sure but Kaplan is a stooge

I mean the good news is that I feel like these deals go really wrong trading position players and I just have no idea what position player they could give up that I'd be terrified by (*we can't trade colson right?)

Dude just take the L. It was legit. 

Good for the Sox going for it...but I am in the minority in that I do not like or trust Kimbrel.

Crochet likely part of the return.

Absolutely disgusted if we moved Crochet.  Awful.

He also said the Twins' return wasn't as good as people thought. So ?

Holy shit.

Can't say I'm not shocked.  It will suck if Crochet turns into a stud, but he's still an if, while Kimbrel is not.

The sox are penny pinching and acquiring a $16 million closer 

oh, so everything they've done and said in my entire life time doesn't count? got it.

?

In that case, I LOOOOOOOOOOOOVE this move.

Man, the White Sox don't have a bullpen, they just have a guy standing on the mound with a M240B

Oh...yikes I'm...that's not a return I was expecting. This is tough call.

 

What the hell?

Omg no
