Who is taking him? seriously. 

I have yet to hear what other team will take his contract. 

You just have to hope he bounces back and maybe starts taking his career trajectory a bit more seriously. Cause at this rate he's gonna be out of the league in 2 years. He's also gonna cost himself at least $25 million.

To the Nationals for Corbin.

Kwan is who we thought Madrigal would be.

With all of the college hitters Hostetler drafted, one would think we could have gotten a Kwan out of the deal.

I’m very interested to see who the scapegoat is in regards to the players.  

I truly don't care. I'm really not interested in the soap opera that I assume this off-season will be. They don't deserve the attention. They'll have another clown show of an off-season like always, because it's who they are at their core. It's truly "White Sox Business" as Kenny so eloquently put it all those years ago.

Bad time to mention Reese McGuire posting .394/.429/.521 with the Red Sox ?

He sure as hell wasn't gonna hit that here.

Tip of the hat to Cle, who have a real manager leading a bunch of hungry baseballers that pounded the damn Twins and us when it counted the most. 
 

A giant FU to the WSox front office for not strengthening this team in the offseason nor having the balls to tell their aging owner that baseball is not a confessional booth for past sins. 

I think the problems run much deeper than TLR

I dont want to see Moncada, Harrison, Engel, Pollack, Deickman back in a Sox uniform next year and I really am indifferent on TA and Robert too.  This team needs to get rid of the Divas.

How the hell does Diekman not even look at the runner?

Especially after just getting burned earlier in the inning.  For a veteran, that is inexcusable crap.  Someone on this coaching staff should get in his face about it.  They got 2 more damn runs because he never looked back.

Nah, Kwan didn’t want an overslot bonus

Diekman returning next year is hilarious. Can’t wait to see him and Pollock around 

• Moncada $42.6M
• Hendriks $29.3M
• Grandal $18.3M
• Graveman $16.0M
• Pollock $13.0M (possibly $14M)
• Leury $11.0M
• Kelly $9.0M
• Diekman $4.5M
• Keuchel $1.5M

And absolutely destroyed their payroll for next year 

It is amazing how many bad moves I just listed - let alone the money spent on Kelley / Graverman / Pollock into next year. 
 

I will say - one scenario that would quickly remedy things would be Grandal bouncing back next year. 
 

I keep hoping if they miss - they start over. Kenny retired and they do what Bulls did and bring in new people and change things.

Ugh, I wish I found this to be wrong

I don't want to see one player currently on the 25 man on this team next year. 

Awesome eye by Grandal.  

As this game shows, the Guardians don't chase and the Sox do it all the friggin time.

Grandal trying to get that early October tee time going.  

Used to say I'm still a Sox fan even though I hate ownership because I like the players. Theres a few good ones as always but holy s%*# this group is largely unlikable.

Cease and Eloy are cool with me, as is Abreu once Vaughn is traded

Shakes head - not at Hendricks and I still say with a better manager we will see a better Moncada. More like a 4 WAR guy. But they need someone creative for a lot of this.

Kenny retiring doesnt even begin to fix the rot in this organization.

I guess I just freed up a bunch of time for the next month. Too bad Call of Duty won't be out until late October.

You'd have to do a lot to be more unlikeable than the 2016 team but here we are. 

Lol at the guy with a built for October sox shirt. No chance in hell. That shirt belongs in a dump.

I know these jobs are in VERY high demand...but who worth a damn wants to inherit this mess? Sorry, this isn't just an overreaction to tonight, as listed above, the Sox have an insane amount of money tied into a collection of talent that simply can't compete in the worst division in baseball. The system is still in the bottom third of the league and the entire organization needs to be re-started, for an owner who likes to do things "his own way"
