Yolmer is technically on it for another 24 hours or so

I think marquee is modifying starter not free agent here

I'm skeptical, but this doesn't make sense either. They didn't have to do anything.

phrasing

It's really not that serious

How you mean?

Getting waived instead of non-tendered feels like there's some urgency to get him off the roster, no?

Just saying, in general.

Totally fine with people sharing what the hear. It's the getting indignant when people give you shit because they don't believe you or you end up being wrong that drives me nuts.

1. Team makes first free agent splash pretty much ever 2. Link them to your client 3. Profit

Have we not determined this guy ain't it?

Such a bizarre thing to feel the need to post in the middle of the night.

Adding Shields is what broke the camels back, If you ask me. Less to do with Tatis than him.

Pretty sure his defensive penalty was actually not as bad as the positional adjustment of a DH this year. So him being a bad 1B provided a small amount of value over being a DH.

All I'm saying is that if anything is going to get in the White Sox way, it's the money he is actually given during the 2022 calendar year. The million he is given per year after that will be like 0.5% of the budget in those years. The money exists, but it really doesn't much matter.

They are worth zero as far as the 2022 budget is concerned though. Are we all that concerned about the mil that Konerko is getting next year?

Well....they would have trotted LaRoche out there again

All that might be true, but it's still Jerry's money and Hahn, or any GM in the world for that matter, doesn't get final say in what get's done with it.

He was praising it two pages back

Well they haven’t so

One is an elite defender at a premium position and one is the exact opposite.

I just can’t get worked up about a guy I generally want around being like a 1 win value deficit.

I don't expect Abreu's contribution to be literally 0 for what it's worth.

’I can’t believe Hahn has done this!’
