I can explain the difference between the Royals and Sox with one player — Bobby Witt Jr. The Sox are terrible at scouting position players in the draft and can’t even luck into a player half as good as Witt. And then, even if they did luck into drafting a guy like Witt, JR would be too cheap to give him an 11-year, $288.7 million extension and we would watch as he was eventually traded to the Dodgers or Yankees. Also, the Sox apparently hired away all of the Royals terrible front office people and coaches, which probably gave them a boost. 🤣 Edited August 28 by WhiteSox2023 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Draft guys, make some trades, whatever, but never have to gut your whole roster in "tanking." What if Robert was as good a hitter as Witt? What if we had Sale and Crochet on the same staff, on and on. Wonder if the Bears' new QB is football's equivalent of Witt. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

caulfield12 Posted August 28 Share Posted August 28 (edited) https://www.mlb.com/news/michael-lorenzen-exits-with-injury-against-guardians?partnerId=it-20240828-10889170-mlb-1-A&utm_id=it-20240828-10889170-mlb-1-A&lctg=34656683 But at the end of the night -- just before Tuesday turned into Wednesday -- the Royals moved into a tie with the Guardians for the American League Central lead with a 6-1 win at Progressive Field. And by clinching the season series -- 7-2 with four more games to play -- Kansas City also owns the head-to-head tiebreaker. The Guardians had held a lead in the division since April 13. On June 25, the Royals were 10 games out of first place. Edited August 28 by caulfield12 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
caulfield12 Posted August 28 Share Posted August 28 Massey has been solid too for KC...772 ops would lead the White Sox. Freddie Fermin at 761 as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One of the reasons that Preller might get fired (if he misses out on the Wild Card) is these two relievers are better than Suarez (certainly in recent days), but Clase is pretty much unarguably the best closer in baseball today.
