I do too. It's called not buying tickets from the White Sox until 2026 at the earliest. 

All the former Royals!!!  We just can't quit them.

At least he attended the same university as Robin Ventura, Josh Fields.

And he will ONLY be 28 at the start of next season...

Fun fact - Jon and John are very different names. Jonathan has the root of Nathan, John is a universal name with equivalents in most languages (Sean, Ivan, Johan, etc.)

Here's his 2021 prospect profile:

Quote

Overall: Heasley looks like an up-and-down rotation depth piece and/or long reliever. He has a collection of fringe-average pitches and is an OK strike-thrower, although his athletic limitations and high arm slot prevent him from commanding all four quadrants of the strike zone. He has an inning-eater frame, works quickly, and isn't afraid to throw the fastball in the strike zone, which could give him an opportunity to eat some low-leverage innings.

 

We're gonna win so much we're gonna get sick of winning.

Well we obviously need more garbage relievers to somehow get hot this season so we can flip them to contending teams for more garbage position players at 1B DH RF LF 2B.

I love the non White Sox s%*# I learn around here...Thanks WestEddy. If I ever run into Nathan Fillion, I think I will call him Jon.

It's most probably a depth addition. They'll need arms in AAA, as well as dudes to toss in the major league bullpen for a week, then DFA when the better guy gets off the IL. 

Charlotte needs arms too.

If you're not good enough to make the potentially worst bullpen in big league history...probably not a good sign for MLB career longevity.

Would be awesome if he flipped the switch his age 27 age season like Max Muncy (another guy who played some 1B who is the same height). I’m not going to hold my breath though.

Well, he will be a "bit long in the tooth" 28, but sure...

This is a fun fact. He wasn't "Jonathan the Baptist" ya know. David's best bud wasn't John. Speaking of the Bible, David's love interest was Jonathan but he named his son Nathan. 'יְהוֹנָתָן'‎ (ye-hon-a-ton) vs 'נתן' (na-tan). I assume Jonathan and John are alike with via 'YHWH' and Jonathan and Nathan are alike through that last syllable meaning 'to give'. So if Jonathan was given by God, John is an embodiment of God's grace, meanwhile Nathan was just 'given' -- presumably still by God.

It would be totally cool if Heasley turned into a power hitting 1B.

That makes more sense.
