They should slip all these guys a couple of hundred and have them send back scouting reports on everybody. Asia covered.

HaSeong Kim and Lee with SFG/CF are the only real success stories.

It took Lee a full year to adjust to elite fastballs.

 

Hyesong Kim (LAD util) and Song (SDP) yet to be determined.

Good luck, buddy.

Maybe he hits a bunch of dongs there and gets another chance in the majors next offseason.  I do like the Kelenic pickup over him though.

Paul DeJong agrees to deal with Yankees. Minors deal, MLB camp invite.

Mama Mia!! If he was wearing a White Sox uniform, that jumping high ten landing would have resulted in a blown-out knee.

My over riding impression is once a clown, always a clown. I did enjoy that he remembered he's allowed to crowd the plate although I'd imagine it's a function of the velocity down there compared to MLB as much as any real adjustment.

Just overall talent really. Not just velocity.

That was a meaty meatball he was thrown.

I was a Realtor. It gets capitalized to denote that one adheres to their code of ethics and more importantly, pays dues to the NAR. They don't need to add "certified" in front. "Realtor" is what it is. 

I don't understand your CPA comment. They are accountants. It's right there in their designation - Certified Public Accountant. 

As the "other" English teacher around here I approve this message. Plus the OP was damn funny. 

INF/OF Josh Rojas has agreed to a Minor League deal with the Royals, per source. Rojas gets a non-roster invite to big-league camp.

The reoccurring theme of players that Getz gave millions to having to settle for pittance contracts or minor league deals just a year later is a bit unsettling.

He better be thanking someone.  If he had just his White Sox career, he'd probably  have been fighting for a major league deal right now.

Good for him but that's kind of a bummer, I was hoping the Sox would hire him to the front office/player development staff.

Reunites him with Sizemore too, who the Twins also took

The guy we traded Eloy for who then retired

 

The Mets and left-hander Trey McGough are in agreement on a two-year minor league deal, per league source.

McGough, who recently came out of retirement, posted a 1.98 ERA over 81.2 IP in minors in 2024. He previously pitched in the Pirates, Orioles, and White Sox organizations.

If he retired while still under contract, wouldn’t he still be under Sox control?

Yeah I dont get how the Sox dont have his rights.

His transaction history shows he retired May 2, 2025 and was released September 23, 2025.
