The Moncada situation for next season is getting close to having to unload him for another team's bad contract.   He's that  bad  (or physically broken)

Just DFA him and move on

Any ideas?

Reinsdorf is a pro-labor guy.  He won't send you home without getting at least half a year of service. 

Ok that's enough of Shaw for tonight. I'd still like to win this one.

Why is Shaw still in this game let alone on this team 

No Walks 

Noone up in bullpen

What?????

Shaws velocity up?

I hate to even put this out there, but I don't like this idea, but I wonder if he was involved in the Salvador Perez discussions.

Congratulations Luis Robert on becoming the tenth White Sox to earn 30 doubles and home runs in a single season.

I'll be there tomorrow for 4 in a row.

Shaw with a 4k, 6 out save. Pretty incredible.

Fun to watch a guy who has had a long career come back from the minors come up to the majors and have some success even after being sent down.

What is going on? This division is awful and its replacement level players better than they have been at any point.

Our new look, no name bullpen will keep this one close.

Let's put the Yankees back in the cellar of the AL East where they belong.

I told ya ??

I think you're probably in the right direction, dead weight for dead weight.    Although Perez is tied up for 3 more years, therefore a lot more money would need to be coming back our way. 

It's just a bad situation every season it feels, we're always carrying a guy on our roster who is too expenses to cut lose (for this owner) and then we have to carry him into June / July.

With the money he's owed that's not happening. Sox will get him scheduled for surgery, hope he is OK next year and try to move him at the deadline.

DJ and Len were discussing that Bryan is not the type of guy who will turn down the ball, so the pitching coach (didn't say Katz) needs to track his usage and schedule rest for him.

Bryan has pitched 4 2/3 since Friday (8/4 1 IP; 8/5 1 2/3 IP; 8/7 2 IP). Would like to see him get the next two games off.

Think it makes more sense to shut him down, get him back surgery or just rest through Spring Training.

If he ever will be motivated, it will be next year with his contract expiring, so there is a possibility he is healthy and uses the chance to perform like he has in the past, and be flipped at the deadline (assuming the Sox aren't contending). Teams would take on 1/3 of his salary ($8M), or the Sox eat some or all (plus the $5M 2025 option) and get better prospects back.

Do the same with Tim if you can't move either this off-season (There is a better chance at moving Tim).

Would aggressively try to move Eloy.

We’ll, I didn’t expect to see THIS outcome in person…
