So you trade Bummer and go to either Banks or (likely out for season Crochet) to get out lefties in high leverage?

Grifol will automatically plug them into any situation where there's a LH hitter...in the future.

So do they present better odds of getting an out?

Peralta Davila Fisher Perez at Charlotte?

Likely not.

It's the same reason Shaw is on the active roster. Like it or not he's the best remaining option to get an out unless you're going to Santos for multiple innings every time out.

Gives us a clue as to why  he left Scholtens in too long yesterday.

This team is completely boring. So is Steve Stone. Look for two more losses against the Cubs.

I don't care if the Sox lose all the rest of their games this season as long as they win those two against the Cubs.  Fat chance though.

How pathetic. How neighborly of the Sox to get swept by the Brewers. Team is a disgrace. 0-5 in recent games against neighbor Cubs and Brewers. No pride. No nothing. No accountability. Cut your losses and at least fire Pedro. Please?

Not happening with Pedro but the good news is the Sox laying down and dying to the Brewers kept them in first place and screwed the Cubs.

The Jake Burger trade makes my blood boil.  When will sports owners and GMs understand that you do not trade popular players unless the return is ridiculous. Precedent for that in Chicago is long and storied from Wirtz Sr. trading Bobby Hull to George Halas letting Mike Ditka go to play for the  Cowboys ....and there are more examples including the heresy of the Cubs trading Ron Santo to the White Sox. Stupid sh1t. Obviously  Burger will likely not reach the status of any of those players but in a season where everything sucks, he was a bright light that gave hope and energy to a sh1tty line-up. I don't feel like going to any more games this season and I don't know or care to find out the name of the guy that Hahn got back in return from Miami. Thanks Hahn.

Just a few points:

Wirtz didn't trade Bobby. Bobby signed a one million dollar deal with Winnipeg of the WHA. Wirtz wouldn't come close to matching that salary figure.

Halas traded Ditka to the Eagles.

Minor nit picking there because Ditka was allowed to leave as was Hull....and Mike played for the Cowboys . Neither guy should have been allowed to leave Chicago, and that was my point.

The start up WHA signed several stars from the NHL including the Golden Jet

Which White Sox players other than Buehrle and Konerko were able to leave under their own terms the last 20-25 years?

They actually signed over 75 NHL players that first season. I was a big Chicago Cougars fan. 

The WHA deliberately targeted Boston and Chicago because they knew those owners were particularly unwilling to spend money on player salary.
