Chicago White Sox

Even if this means nothing, I’m not sure he’s going to be in the organization come Sunday. He’s got to be one of the most likeliest guys to get moved.

He is and I’d take him for the right price, but I can’t see the Cubs trading a fan favorite to the Sox for anything short of a haul and he’s simply not worth a massive price.

I don’t get the Baez love at all

100% agree that’s what this should mean

The optimist in me believes that has to be the case, but until it happens the fear of Leury striking out in a big situation to end our playoff run looms large.

Has to be the Sox right?

I’m not worried about making the playoffs, I’m worried how our offense fares against tough RHP in October with Leury at 2B and god knows who in RF. The price for Escobar was super reasonable and passing on a potential 2B upgrade is just plain stupid IMO. I’m not going to panic just yet given there is still time and other options, but my optimism is starting a wane a bit. Just feels like Leury has some sort of spell on the organization.

Baez isn’t good against RHP which is what we need.

Tony does appear to love himself some Leury, hopefully Hahn doesn’t feel quite the same way.

Yeah, Escobar just seemed like a perfect fit for so many reasons. That being said, I wouldn’t be upset with Story, just concerned he’ll come at a price many of us will hate.

?

Wow...it’s really going to suck if Leury ends up being our 2B come October.

Zaxby’s is decent, but have only had it once or twice. If I’m eating fast food, I’m usually a McDonald’s or Taco Bell guy. Glad to hear you got one of those in Shanghai.

Random question, but let’s assume Portillo’s is legit, would he really ? a Tepera trade? Like I’d be cool with it, especially if the price is Lopez, but I don’t think it warrants the “oh fuck” eyeballs.

They do and it’s fucking garbage. Pretty sure they come with mustard on them, which is not the way a slider was intended to be eaten.

@raBBit - What are you hearing on this rumored Tepera deal? Seems like you may have some idea on what the cost might look like. Totally get it if you’re unable to share.

Lol...still have no idea why that guy called me out, but I do prefer hot chicken connoisseur over chicken man.

Unfortunately I will be in Nashville refreshing constantly while working ? Desperately need a trade tonight to avoid total torture tomorrow.

100% agree with that

This is a good move for the Marlins, but Giolito’s turnaround was mostly unprecedented. Luzardo could very well take a major step forward next year, but far from a guarantee.

Cease up 0.7 fWAR in less than half a season, Luzard has been worth -0.3 fWAR this year. It’s not even remotely similar.

The A’s really need to move away from Oakland

Marlins are apparently sending a lot of money along with him

Could be, but I’m expecting the Astros to make a couple more big moves.

No idea how to value Luzardo at the moment. Dude was a 60 FV prospect and still has plus velocity for a lefty, but has also been garbage this year. Still four years of control with the upside he possesses is probably a smart gamble.
