That's the issue with this group, and why they'll never win anything. Too much good to very good, zero great position players.
Kopech I have a feeling is going to pull a Rodon.
The guardians close the season with 6 at home against KC. The Sox last 9 are against Minnesota and San Diego. I don't see how the Sox can catch and pass them.
I can't believe Pujols would retire so close to 700 HR. If he can't get there this year, wouldn't you consider coming back one more time to reach it? There's 27 games left in the season for the Cardinals and he needs 5 HR.
This is Jerry MO 101. Keep the fanbase engaged, not interested in winning titles.
If Michael Reinsdorf runs the Bulls the same way that his father runs the Sox, it's pointless to even follow.
Phillips retiring now instead of last year is dumb. New football guy will want his own people and that means Poles and Flus are on borrowed time already, unless they decide to make Poles the football guy and hire a new business person.
