Yesterday at 02:16 AM1 day Hard for me to think too much about it given that it seemed the attitude around here and most everywhere else was that it was insane to pick up his option in the first place.

They would have been better off keeping him. It was simply a salary dump when they traded him.Besides Acuna, who the Sox also acquired from that trade got both saves in the two wins at KC. People keep forgetting to mention that fact because it makes their complains fall apart.

As far fetched as you might think that is, (I think it sort of is too), I still think it’s much more likely than the Sox trading Dominguez this coming July.

The last few years have shown that good closers have a lot of value at the trade deadline.

They still didn't get anything in return for Robert Jr. This is a endless cycle of a losing franchise. I remember a few years ago at the trading deadline they traded David Robertson for nothing. It was a salary dump just like what they did when they traded Robert Jr. Winning franchises don't trade their best players for nothing. You add to the team, not make it worse. Acuna, the main person who got in return for Robert Jr is nothing but a utility player. If the White Sox released him I doubt if any MLB would claim him and put him on their roster. New White Sox ownership can't come soon enough for me. This endless cycle of losing with no hope is lousy.
Yesterday at 06:01 PM1 day FWIW, Robertson was traded as part of a package with fellow expiring deal Todd Frazier and pre-arb Tommy Kahnle in a deal that brought back Blake Rutherford (who was then considered a top 50 prospect in MLB) and a couple minor leaguers who were less-regarded and ultimately accomplished little. Rutherford's stock fell not long after reaching the Sox and ended up getting a cup of coffee in the bigs many years later.

20 hours ago20 hr Mets called up Tommy Pham. They have two-thirds of our old outfield starting tonight, along with Semen at 2B. I heard Schriffen tried to go into the locker room and wish them luck but Pham told him to get the f*** out. Edited 20 hours ago20 hr by WhiteSox2023
