Chicago White Sox

That’s what was implied when the Mariners acquired him

Wasn’t Narvaez a garbage framer with us?

Not hating on Yoan, just more concerned that Burnes will go nine

Ball four base hit

One pitch, one out

FIFY

Moncada walk, Vaughn bomb, Sox win 2-1

Velocity was up to 95 MPH just there

It’s kind of scary how good Burnes is. Dude has made 16 starts and has given up zero runs five times, one run six times, two runs one time, four runs three times, and five runs one time. Like he barely walks anyone (1.50/9) and doesn’t give up home runs (three all year). We’re going to need Rodon to be lights out tonight because I can’t see us getting more than two runs off Corbin.

Yup. I actually hope Mendoza gets another shot at High A before the season is over given his age.

Mieses 3/3 so far on the night. He’s been a pleasant surprise since his demotion from Winston-Salem.

Seriously, I was skeptical they’d take advantage of the full 5% overage, but super glad to be wrong here.

Thanks! Definitely awesome to see in a win now, pandemic impacted year that we’re maxing out our spend in the draft.

Wow, I didn’t think he’d be an overslot guy. Does this mean we basically maxed out and used the 5% overage?

For the love of god, can people start acknowledging Zack Collins is a good hitter against RHP? Dude has a 128 wRC+ against righties, which is the same as Tim, better than Jose (117), Grandal (116), & most of the other guys on the roster. Rip his defense / receiving / framing, but the dude is a legit good strong-side platoon hitter.

Let’s strive mightily to win.

Gotcha. I still think there might be something there with Bard & Givens, although take Ramos out of the equation and throw something else back their way. Honestly, there aren’t a ton of great relievers out there at the moment, especially if some of the in-between teams like the Nationals & Angels don’t sell.

How much more are you thinking?

?

Bryan Ramos, Micker Adolfo, & Jimmy Lambert for Trevor Story, Daniel Bard, & Mychal Givens. Who says no?

I’m doubling down on two relievers added.

Why is Bummer still pitching?!

Which is absolute insanity and proves that La Russa doesn’t look at splits.
