Pour several ones out for Brooks Boyer.

I don't know why, but I find this sentence hilarious. "Did you murder this person?" "No, I did not." It turned out that Orenthal was indeed a murderer.

I truly miss the days when the most interesting thing about Bauer was that he flew his drone into the White Sox newly installed scoreboard.

Signing free agent starting pitchers early in free agency is a mistake!

All 3 (and Helton) deserve it and the BBWAA needs to do a voter purge.

The James Beard semi-finalists being announced reminded me that James Beard the player exists and I'm very sad he's busting. He had more walks than hits last year (51 vs. 42) and stole 28 bases. 30% of the time he was on base, he swiped a bag! But a .165 average ain't gonna do it.

Decided to update this

No, it's gonna last longer. Because now, unless all five starting pitchers (roulette for whoever #5 is) are lights out all year, there will be people going "Katz would have figured out Clevinger and reverted him back to Cleveland form!" Unless he remains on the roster in which case that's just gonna be the story all year.

Adding 80s players is cheating.

Because it's the Rockies, I have no idea what Freeland's trade value would be, but anyone got thoughts on that?

Cocaine! We've got wiggle room.

Meth lab. He currently plays in Missouri + it'd help address the budget restrictions.

This tweet is actually the best way to put it:

I don't think they knew, but I think James put it best: They only put themselves in a situation where someone like Clevinger jumps at taking the first team-favorable contract put in front of him because they want to go bargain hunting.

Yes, cases like Carlton Fisk getting screwed over are why guys like Clevinger can slide under the radar.

I mean, it's a significantly larger story???

I mean, they readily admitted they hired TLR facing his DUI charge.

The only thing that isn't making this an absolute House of Horrors is the The Athletic saying the Sox didn't know.

Child abuse warning, fwiw. Just, god.

I take these vibes over last year's dugout:

White Sox had the 7th lowest K% in the league last year.

Eloy's defense comments frustrate me because he always throws in that he adamantly does wants to DH. I just want the dude to read the room. He can just say he'll do both. The leader comment is whatever, because like, they haven't even been in the locker room together. Of course he doesn't know.

Billy Hamilton erasure.

I feel like they also need to physically be in the locker room first before figuring out who the leader is.

Dear lord I wish we had traded Eloy and re-signed Abreu.
