  1. This doesn't look like a good trade: Question: The White Sox have traded Dylan Cease to the Mariners. What possible package will the White Sox receive in return? Please give names. Answer: The White Sox could receive a package from the Mariners that includes outfielder Kyle Lewis, infielder Shed Long, and pitcher Taylor Guilbeau.
  2. Or we take on the contract, and they give a prospect to shed the contract.
  3. Okay, this just made me laugh out loud. Of course it's "predictable". Because it's the most obvious refutation of your argument. You're calling people "fascist" for not liking Mike Clevenger, and not wanting him on their favorite team based on descriptions of his behavior given under oath. I'm going to stop here, because it's not my job to make you admit you're wrong. "Believe women" is still a thing. Just because the emotional abuse didn't rise to the level of an MLB ban, or even imprisonment doesn't mean that everybody detailing it under oath was lying.
  4. And OJ was completely innocent of any wrongdoing, right? "Due process" doesn't mean if a dozen parents said their kids were molested at a day care, you are still obligated to drop your kids off there because they were never found guilty in court. I find it really weird and abhorrent when a dude digs in on this and chides others for not openly liking Mike Clevenger because of "due process". From testimony given under oath, I think the guy's a rage-addicted scumbag who uses his money to continually harass his victims, even when they're no longer partners.
  5. You're using language that betrays a lack of compassion for the victim. You are demonstrably wrong to say there's a lack of evidence. There was a lot of evidence. Emotional and mental abuse are actual things. MLB may decide they're not "there" yet on suspending a star over emotional abuse and grabbing her arm in an aggressive manner. That's their own business. Clevenger was also suing the victim for custody of their child, when he has no way to raise that child. The victim has described the situation he establishes with a new girl friend raising the child of his previous girlfriend, as she had done with the child of Clevenger's partner before her. To mock abuse by saying that Clevenger should sue WSCR for airing claims that were given in testimony under oath is bizarre. Our " incredibly huge problem when it comes to victim blaming" is only exacerbated by bro-dudes pretending that "there's no evidence" when an abused woman has provided loads of evidence.
  6. Wait, what?!? I'm always amazed at how dudes dismiss a woman's word as insignificant or lies, even when given under oath. He was "cleared" in that his abuse and harassment didn't meet MLB's threshold for suspension. The intro song shows immaturity. Colas stalking her social media is weird, but considering the allegations, could certainly scare a person under legal siege from a multi-millionaire. The claims of abuse were made under oath, and there's nothing to them that make them sound made up. A normal human being should have a problem with Clevenger's alleged actions, regardless of his ERA. I can't fathom how you see a person's disgust with that abuse and harassment to be "bizarre". Too many guys are way too comfortable with how hard it is for a woman to be taken seriously about abuse.
  7. Aren't Robert, Abreu and Alexi the only Cubans who really panned out for this scouting troupe? Maybe Marco Paddy should pull up stakes and we should stop worrying about being top bidder for the next Cuban "phenom".
  8. The most productive first rounder that year was Nico Hoerner, #24 pick.
  9. The Sox could very well get a top 6 pick next year, which would preclude them from being in the lottery for 2025, so they might as well try to compete in that pathetic division. They're returning most of the same team, so unless Yoan, Timmy, AV and Oscar Colas have magic years, they'll be selling next July, again. Or they do play up to their abilities, and they make the post-season. I think Hahn needed a talking point to validate his position on Eloy, Cease, and Kopech. Nightengale also said there wasn't an offer on Cease that made sense to take.
  10. Victor Torres already has stats on Baseball-Reference.com
  11. Yeah, but what if they sign, then decide they don't want to play baseball anymore?!?!? What about that?!?!?
  12. Rodondo Beach Union High School graduated its class of 2019 this afternoon between 3-4:30. I'm disappointed Hahn wasn't on stage to hand him a pen. Of course, I don't know that he didn't.
