I truly don’t get the mindset of giving out the biggest contract in franchise history only to turnaround and trade your best reliever. I’m hopeful this signals that they are going for it (at least in White Sox terms) and that more move are coming to improve the team, not hurt it.
To be fair, we have no information that they are not conducing a full search. I get not giving them the benefit of the doubt, but it seems like no one really knows anything yet.
Any chance this Ozzie interview is just fan service? That’s the vibes I get it from this. Espada is their guy, but look, we interviewed all your old favorites as part of a very extensive search.
Not to defend ownership because they don't deserve it at all. But the Sox have a top 10 payroll. The Guardians consistently have a bottom 10 payroll. They just use it waaaaay more efficiently than our management does.
Looking at these matchups, this might be the best opportunity of the season to get a 4-game sweep and a legit winning streak going... so here comes a 2-2 split!
