chitownsportsfan Posted July 16, 2021 Share Posted July 16, 2021 This one is great too: I don't think 90% of MLB fans understand that trade value is much more than just performance. Team control and surplus value matters just as much and Gallo is only under team control for one more season and he will be on a market rate through arb.

Dick Allen Posted July 16, 2021 Share Posted July 16, 2021 (edited) I just wonder how Not Cishek would explain how he knows the inside and out of all the White Sox trade discussions, yet had no clue Lopez was being called up and Bummer was being activated. he isn't the first fake insider who does this, and certainly not the last, but all these so called insiders have a ton of stuff that never happens, and explain it away as typical, yet have nothing about things that do happen.

Engel has been so damn good, just ride with him the rest of the year as the RF starter. Focus on 2B and relief pitching. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
