July 12, 20232 yr I get why they did this of course but big picture what does it say about the organization that six years after the rebuild started in a so-called "window of contention' they are having to resort to picking up stiffs, has been's, flotsam and jetsam because they have no one else available or ready in their own minor league system. ?

July 13, 20232 yr I'm fairly certain Hahn will get canned at some point but its pretty mind-boggling he's going to be around to kick this next "transition" off.
July 13, 20232 yr They had to pay the Royals cash for this guy? Wow. KC must really need some cash for the petty cash drawer.

We haven’t had pitching depth all season so I would say a move like this a few weeks before the deadline is probably telling. we are 16 games under .500, the writing is on the wall.

July 13, 20232 yr Basically he couldn't even make it on the second worst team in baseball that had even more pitching injuries... "Mayers had been operating as a bulk reliever behind an opener during his last three appearances, but he drew his second start of the year Saturday. The role switch didn't change things for the right-hander, who has now given up 16 earned runs over his past three outings while posting more walks (five) than strikeouts (three) during that stretch. The Royals are dealing with numerous injuries to their pitching staff, which has allowed Mayers to carve out a role recently, but if he continues to struggle, Kansas City may have to look for help in the minors. Mayers was removed from the Royals' 40-man roster last month after putting up a 6.15 ERA in six games (two starts) this season. He'll head to Triple-A Charlotte for now but could eventually get a shot with the White Sox in the rotation or bullpen." https://www.foxsports.com/mlb/mike-mayers-player Charlotte ticket sales department must be simply elated....

The Sox once upon a time like 18 years ago signed a lefty reliever with a great arm, but couldn’t get anyone out. They transformed him into a good player, so ever since then they decided to become the patron saint of guys that can throw a brick through a battleship, but can’t hit the catcher’s mitt.
