No one is going to pick up his 20 million dollar option.

Yep. But a team is only on the hook for about $4.5M including buyout.

Someone might take the gamble for the rest of the year just so it’s not the White Sox.

The deadline for a player qualifying to be on the play-off roster expires today or tomorrow.

IMO, hard pass on Robert Jr.

If Kenny Williams was GM he would add any big name player and tell the boss it was worth the price, referencing KW signing the other Jr. late in the season for his own foolish, self-serving reasons.
