    More people commented about Kenyon Middleton’s day care than an actual well played win yesterday with a big time HR.

    Sure but you drove a lot of that dumb discussion. Beating rivals is important. Not the most important thing, but important nonetheless.

    Because of exactly this kind of thing, where a player has kids and gets traded and it isn't easy and probably doesn't make sense to move the entire family to New York for 8 weeks before becoming a free agent again.

    But again, it's for during games. Like aside from this weird exact situation where the Yankees happen to be visiting, why would someone go drop their kids off at Sox stadium at 6pm at night (assuming the Sox are even at home)?  That doesn't make any sense.

    So it sounds like this kid is going to need a sound recovery plan from TJ as well as a good amount of development time and coaching to succeed in the bigs ( if he even makes it).  The Sox have no idea what they are doing in either of those areas. 

    Even though this trade was only made a few weeks ago, I'm gonna call it a massive failure. The Sox gave up a guy in Burger who is a positive WAR player and gonna jack 30 plus homers this year. 

    Rick Hahn strikes again unfortuntaely. 

    The return is the least of my issues with the trade but yeah. I keep hearing the line "sold high!!!" as if it means anything. You got a single minor league pitcher for a quality position player with years of control. Maybe not a poor return but certainly not an overwhelming one. The sold high stuff is just buzzword crap given how little discussion there is on the return itself. Just because you traded a guy while he's having a good year doesn't actually mean you sold high.

    Nobody is defending them now.  You can put your sword down

    The White Sox subreddit certainly does. I don't know what part of the fanbase they are though.

     

    Edit: Hahn only though. KW they despise.

    I can't believe they're running Shaw out there like this. Even if he's effective, there's no point to it. Churn through arms with upside to try and find another Santos or Middleton

    Someone has to eat innings at some point. We're already running out multiple guys with like 6 ERAs in Charlotte. Shaw is apparently Mr Willing by all accounts.
