Son of a b**** how did I not realize that the MiLB games were in the MLB TV app on my PlayStation. Absolute game changer.

Patino for Charlotte and WHITE SOX #6 Nick Nastrini for Birmingham.

Yeah, I'd like to reiterate that I don't have a real problem with Keynan as a league minimum signing that walked into a dumpster fire. Lance Lynn as a veteran brought on as a clubhouse leader - who they traded a legitimate prospect for - can go f*** himself. Doesn't absolve the Sox, but Lynn's whole "we were arguing about steak" thing now reeks of bullshit. Great example for younger players!

I mean, we're talking about an industry that paid minor leaguers well below minimum wage so would it be that surprising?

We relish in our own misery.

From an old Tribune bio, Kamrynn, Karter and Kollynz are his daughters. She has a ❤️ emoji after the "young men." So basically she is a mom to 3 amazing young men and also loves her 3 granddaughters. At least, I hope Keynan's brothers don't have kids.

I mean this had to have gone about in one of three ways: Scenario 1: Middleton: "Hey guys, can I bring my kids to the team daycare while visiting as a Yankee?" Sox: "Sorry Keynan, the daycare is for Sox players only." Middleton: "Ah, my apologies." Scenario 2: Middleton drops kids off at daycare without checking Daycare attendant: "Excuse us Keynan, we can only watch after kids of Sox players." Scenario 3: @Eminor3rd calls Keynan Middleton: "Drop off your kids at daycare before the game." Middleton: "Why wouldn't I just leave them with my wife or mom?" Eminor3rd stares at Caulfield's profile picture on Soxtalk: "Chaos."

Love Elijah Evan's interviews with Quero and Mena.

KABBBBBOOM!

So honestly, after 2016, I found it a lot harder to hate the Cubs. Probably because I told my dad that he could talk about anything when we went to his brother's for Hanukkah except baseball. Everyone but he and his brothers adhered to this. Don't get me wrong. I still dislike them and won't ever root for them, but now they're probably behind the Twins and Guardians. But for some reason this notion that the Cubs live rent-free in Sox fans' heads and Cubs fans "never" think about it - dear lord what a crock of s%*#. I basically stopped talking to a friend from college because 80% of his messages to me post-Kimbrel trade were "BOY YOUR TEAM SURE SUCKS NOW" and he shares just as much Sox misery-porn as he does good things for the Cubs. Like, there's more to life than relishing in another fanbases misery.

I mean, he just performed some baptisms.

LA PANTERA

Rick Hahn watching inexpensive guys like Gregory Santos, Lane Ramsey and Brent Honeywell do OK:

Lmao Cannon Ballers winning 16 to 3.

Love it when we're speculating like crazy and it can just be summed up with a simple @hi8is post.

So is the lack of brainpower a genetic thing in your family or is it just you?

To the fans, yeah, JR ain't loyal. To players — if he thinks the deal isn't back breaking — he painfully is: Leury, Jay Williams (one of the biggest favors in NBA history), loaning Frank money, Pippen's final year (ironically enough). Then he gives them jobs once they're retired. Frank, Ozzie, Thome, Getz, TLR (not a player, but we all know this one), Paxson, Kenny, Beckham, Robin. If JR can get someone on what he views as a good deal, he's destructively loyal and will keep it in the family.

Tex, what is the point you're trying to make? Loria blows chunks because he's a backstabbing snake that actually did the awful thing you keep wishing upon Sox fans. Reinsdorf sucks because he has to try and "win" every contract/business deal and IS loyal to a fault.

Loria speaks ...

Yes? It wasn't exactly a secret that Mark's dogs were/are important to him - he didn't live in Miami-Dade county because of a ban on them - so to be traded one year into a deal is a dick move. Especially because that's a big chunk of the dog's life. In the end, that meant Buehrle's family had to live away from him since they, you know, wanted to keep their family dogs.

I mean, sure it's a business, but Loria fucked him over on a personal level.

Well f*** me, who needs Jake Burger or Lenyn Sosa when we have Adam Haseley? By the way, here's a composite draft - Haseley projected at 7, 8, and 9. Burger? 15, 17 and 24. Draft projections mean f*** all 6 years later, especially compared to LatAm signings.

Open up a new table Go to MLB Pipeline Select Top 100 prospects Ctrl + F "tigers" Scroll past Max Clark since he was just drafted. Will they include Colt Keith?

Yes but I don't know the specifics.

My dude is in pain. Please give him a pitching staff.
