wegner Posted April 26, 2019 Share Posted April 26, 2019 The money will be spent...then release...rinse and repeat...Gio Gonzalez still available? We traded him twice, might as well pay and then release him as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wegner Posted April 26, 2019 Share Posted April 26, 2019 Sometimes I feel like Hahn is like Arthur Carlson, the incompetent manager of WKRP...and then there was the episode where Arthur actually learned that the owner of the station (his mother) really kept him around because it was better for her business holdings overall when the radio station lost money. I know that is not actually the case here but sometimes the incompetence is tough to take. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GreatScott82 Posted April 26, 2019 Share Posted April 26, 2019 Another example of upper management's incompetence right here. Pathetic. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DirtySox Posted April 26, 2019 Share Posted April 26, 2019 So does this mean Banuelos takes his spot? Probably worth seeing more of what he can do after his last spot start. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chisox378 Posted April 26, 2019 Share Posted April 26, 2019 (edited) If I may put a positive spin on this, I like this move alot. It shows the White Sox want to have the most ready players at the Major League level regardless of how much the players makes. It shows the White Sox care about winning now. Santana was not ready this season to pitch at the ML level. Even if he goes to another squad and does well, it was the best move for us at this time.

Paying a portion of the $4 mil isn't bad,wasting all of it, well, cash in the shredder. on the hook for about 400k it looks like. edit: I am wrong.

elrockinMT Posted April 26, 2019 Share Posted April 26, 2019 I don’t think the failure to sign Machado was the team being cheap. The Boss was probably more concerned with the length of the contract and being on the hook for guaranteed big bucks 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Probably means Giolito will be back soon too. Edited April 26, 2019 by SouthWallace Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Boss was probably more concerned with the length of the contract and being on the hook for guaranteed big bucks It still doesn't make sense. They wanted to save 50 million on the last 2 years of his deal, so they basically waste 40 million this season ( I know guys like Colome and Herrera aren't wastes in terms of their on field quality, but they are a waste in terms of having a good set up man and closer on a 100 loss team doesn't really do much for you -- now maybe they are traded for solid assets, but who knows.).

Lillian Posted April 26, 2019 Share Posted April 26, 2019 (edited) I think that Covey gets another shot as the long man, and Fulmer works in shorter relief. Just my guess. Although, they could bring back Bummer, instead of Covey. What are the chances that Evan Marshall gets a shot , in the Pen?
