May bullpen is fun.

Bat drops bring me joy.

Aaron Hicks screams "Rays reclamation project that will suddenly become a thorn in the Yankees side."

If there's one lesson all of baseball should have this past decade+, it's that everyone should poach as much Rays front office talent as possible.

2014-2016: No depth to supplement small but solid core. Sign B-tier and C-tier free-agents. 2020-2023: No depth to supplement slightly larger, but can't-stay healthy core. Sign B-tier and C-tier free-agents.

I'm almost definitely misremembering but wasn't it: 1. White Sox wanted Benintendi or Moncada, Red Sox said no to Benintendi. 2. Kopech was the second piece. 3. White Sox wanted Devers as the third piece, to which the Red Sox said no, so the White Sox settled on Basabe and Diaz. Before posting I just decided to check and this seems to be the case (at least according to Dombrowski after the fact): https://www.nbcsports.com/boston/red-sox/how-close-did-red-sox-come-trading-rafael-devers-chris-sale-let-dave-dombrowski-explain

Ah yes, the Schlotens-Gaddis pitchers duel we all expected.

Jesse.

But what if we strike a deal with the White Sox where SoxTalk+ sends direct feedback to the front office.

Wake up y'all, new Polar Bear thread just dropped.

Popeye had 2 HRs. Lenyn 2-4. DJ had a HR.

The ads will continue until Andrew Vaughn has an .800+ OPS.

They caught a case of the 2022 White Sox

They did a sweep!

And Robert drew a walk The times they are a changing

Bummer did good!

There's something endearing about Burger continuing to sprint around second even after the Royals catch the 3rd out.

Next time on Chi Sox Z

Middleton has been such a clutch pickup.

Defense was fun to watch today.

Uninjured Kelly is fun again

Checks baseball-reference. I'm beginning to think TA was rushed back.

If he slowly regains his confidence, I'm cool with it. Also, Seby got a hit!

More quality defense!

The last time we saw him throw against an MLB player he aced Ohtani.
