This guy really is poison. He pitched well enough last year that I thought someone else would sign him. Makes me doubt that the Sox can unload him at the All Star break even if he pitches well.

"Poison?" Wow...

Jerry could've signed both Snell and Montgomery to build a 3rd place team but would've rather left his kids another $100M?

I’m nervous this is going to make Holmes, Bernstein and Dicaro mad at the Sox

I had to look this up to make sure this wasn't an April Fools joke.

Not sure if this is a bleaker indication of the Sox or of Clevinger.

The problem is, they aren't signing Clevinger just to eat innings. If that was the case, he would have been signed already. And there are plenty of shitty pitchers in the organization to eat innings.

This is the White Sox reacting to an 0-4 start, and being desperate for any pitcher that can get them wins. I really do think Getz was trying to put together a competitive team this season, and he's panicking. 

Regardless, it just reinforces what a joke they are.

Who should they have signed instead?  Or you're happy with the rotation?

It's hilarious you think it matters. This team is losing 100-120 games. Clevinger doesn't even move the needle.

Nah, this has been in the works for a few days it seems.  Once again, the Sox know they’re going to be total dog s%*# this year.

It just gives most of us another reason to root for them losing every game, so I couldn't care less. This team can't possibly sink any lower.

They can sink much, much lower still.

I'm at the point where having an asshole on the team is the least of my worries.

The difference between 65 and 62 wins doesn't seem worth it.

Let's revisit this post in September.

I'm willing to consider another adjective, but no other club would touch the guy even with a decent season last year. What would you call him?

Apparently, it’s important for Getz to get from 60 to 65 wins.  ?

This proves that Footlong Comiskey Dog on Twitter must have some sources.  He posted this yesterday…

Why did no other team in the MLB sign him?

Agree with those that say if you're gonna do this go sign a Urias or a Bauer, be the team that takes the PR hit, and try and get something for them 

Clevinger's personal history aside...there's only two reasons why players would sign with the team on the south side of chicago. No other team wants them, or they are a glutton for punishment.

Lol.  Nothing like bringing on a raging asshole who is super mediocre to join a god awful baseball team.

But enough about Tony LaRussa

A few weeks really.  I am sure he was looking for something better, but it is this or nothing.

The idea that the Sox a free agent away, or even 5 free agents away from decency is laughable.  This team is so bad, there isn't a point in spending on it, especially for a guy that literally no one wants.  It would have been one thing if we found a flippable guy, but we found one so toxic that no one wanted to trade for him last year, or sign him this year.

They had this low ball offer out to him for a while.  I honestly can't believe no one would beat it and he finally caved.
