So are they going to sneak in an announcement that they know will be unpopular right before game one?

He sure is, I wish he would get lost.

Please share.

He pitched the entire 21 season out of the bullpen and ended up hurt. Missed 22. Back to the pen in 23 and gets hurt. He needed something to change and that change was working. He would be foolish to not try and protect that. He is betting on himself to stay healthy for 2 more years so he can get paid. But maybe you're right and he should have said screw my career, some White Sox fans really want a couple of new prospects.

The only thing Crochet owes the team for all that they supposedly did for him is his best efforts on the field. He finally had a routine that was working for him and that he felt was best for his long term health and success. He felt that a change in that routine would increase the risks of injury which could adversely affect or eliminate his future earning potential. He simply made it clear that he didn't want to do that without some insurance on that earning potential. The fact that some people think he should have done something he felt could put his career at risk in order to potentially help a team he wouldn't even be on any longer seems completely ridiculous to me.

Yeah, F this guy for looking out for his own best interests.

With so many posters here playing characters it can sometimes be difficult to differentiate between an honest opinion and someone who just wants to push buttons.

Willie Harris will come back to manage the Sox 20 years after winning the World Series with the team. What a feel good story it will be. We won't even notice a third straight 100 loss season.

I think if Grady has anything even resembling success the rest of this year he should use that to try and find a job elsewhere.

If Grifol is fired who should manager this s%*# Show the rest of the way?

True, but at the deadline teams are going to be more concerned with immediate help. Crochet likey won't be available for the playoffs this year.

That's the only thing I can see making sense. If there is a team that feels better about there chances next year and the year after and want to get him early. But if you have a chance this year you need your trading chips for immediate help.

I don't see any way Crochet is available to pitch in October. Why would a team give up a haul for him now?

The deal was probably set to be done with Miller included when JR piped up and said how about some cash instead.

For a return this bad shouldn't STL. Also have taken Bennintendi.
