Oh he's absolutely tradeable. Whether the White Sox would like the return is less certain.

The return wouldn't be anything more than salary relief even if he is tradeable.

I don't think anyone would want to pay him  42.6M over the next two seasons.

Oh hey, bases loaded. Can we find magical hit #2 on the season, with em loaded?

I'd like to personally apologize to all of Soxtalk for all the Sheets staning I participated in this offseason.

People are going to rip LaRussa for sitting him every 3-4 games.  I mean the guy carries himself like he truly doesn't want to be out there. 

 

That's why you keep playing him everyday and don't ever take him out, make him at least sweat for the millions he's making.

Hey remember when people thought we could get Montas or Manea for Sheets ?

We're still chasing that LH Bat unicorn vacated by Jim Thome.

Despite the collapse that 2020 season was a lot of fun.

We also miss Mercedes Hamilton Goodwin the sparks off the bench last year.

I also miss last year's Grandal.  I know he is awfully streaky and that hot streak might still come but he looks bad this year and he was crucial to the offense last season.

Need Veeck's Eddie Gaedel trick to at least walk in a run.

I’ve always wondered if Yoan changed some of the things he was doing after receiving the big contract extension

Oh, he'll find a way to pull himself out.   Like an in-grown toe nail or something.

But Sheets homered in game the Sox lost by ten in the postseason!

McGuire is playing so much he might be on the All Star ballot and finish last in voting.

Benetti talks to Gordon about his career as if it's Joe Morgan he's talking to.

Yeah, I get that Ricky had to go because you can't hyperventilate on the bench in the playoffs and expect the players to be calm, but that team played their asses off every single day. They constantly came back in games. They had a lot of fun.

This team honestly looks like they're going through the motions and that they feel the division was there's and they didn't even have to work for it. 

Ricky only had 2 pitchers in the playoffs it wasn't his fault he was hyperventilating.  Like you said "The team played their asses off every single day" for him, can we say the same about are HOF manager?

Ricky also supposedly wanted the Sox to get more pitching at the deadline and Hahn said nope

The Sox should be absolutely lighting this guy up yet they only have 1 hit off him. He is at 65 pitches through 3 innings. His ERA is 9.11. He is trash. 

The other pain point is how Sox games have been ever since LaRussa came on board.

Whole afternoon trading session in NY is about the same amount of time.

Boston signed him for 30 million so it's not like he didn't have money before the contract extension.
