Great for him to get out while he still can without being tainted forever.

He'll close out game 7 of the WS for the Astros, won't he? 

Meanwhile, Padres replacing Pomeranz (injured last season, logical "buy low low low" candidate now after two years off)/T.Hill/Hader with two Asian closers in their pen now...one from Japan, one from Korea

I'm sure the Sox are. After all there are probably a few more broken down, has been former Royals pitchers out there to be had!

Everyone BUT Staumont lol.  Who is of course the only really solid guy over there.

White Sox aren’t through collecting ex Royals. According to Bob, Jeremey Haber will be leaving and Jim Wong from KC will be taking his place.

So.... how many former Royals players are left in free agency this year?  ? ?

Makes sense after losing out in the Jerry GM Sweepstakes. Would like to hear more about Wong.

Bob also reporting Cease is likely staying to open the season, which I prefer without a blockbuster return.

Message sent to Bob by Jerry/Getz and Bob as usual delivered.

The KC obsession continues.  Who would want to nab front office people from a winning team when you can steal them away from a perennial loser?

Haber leaving might be the best move of the offseason so far.
