Trades/acquisitions

Finally getting the Joc/Duvall platoon we all wanted, only 5 months too late.

Pretty intrigued about Rosario. Aside from the HR rate (which could be suppressed due to the Indians stadium) his rate stats are right in line with career norms. Could be a pretty big get here.

Should be, it took a big weight to get him

How stupid is CWS when they sign Hendricks and then trade for Kimbrel!!

 

[CrimsonCowboy]

White Sox have quite the nasty pen now

Good starters, good offense, great bullpen. Stupid may win them a WS.

Damn. When was the last time a team traded for an all-star closer while already having an all-star closer on the team? Power move by the White Sox. That pen is ****ing nasty.

Don't include me in the all.

I've seen a ton of Rosario when he was with the Twins. Really undisciplined hitter but clearly can put a charge in the ball. Not particularly good in the field. When he's going well, he's torrid so maybe we catch lightning in a bottle.

Huh? I don’t see this anywhere.

Dan Hayes tweeting something Monday. The 80 million guaranteed was satisfactory according to both sides. Can’t find the tweet though.

They are looking to make games six innings long and with those two, they might succeed.

The #Cubs will receive second baseman Nick Madrigal and pitcher Codi Heuer from the #WhiteSox for Craig Kimbrel.

 

[UNCBlue012]

Per source, the Twins are shopping both Josh Donaldson and Byron Buxton. There are 90 minutes to go until the Trade Deadline.

 

[Carp]

Knowing LaRussa, he'll leave both Kimbrel and Hendrix in the pen during a tie, late in playoff game.

If it wasn’t gonna be us, good thing it’s the Al

Stupid? They easily have the best pen in the majors now

 

[ixiXSolidXixi]

Kimbrel for Nick Madrigal!!

 

[Southcack77]

I kind of want Buxton.

I see Madrigal is on the 60-day IL. Anyone know the nature of the injury?

That's a pretty decent return if Madrigal returns to form.

Man, buxton would totally flip the NL east race

It was reported that extension talks broke down early this week. Sounds like he will definitely be traded

 

[UNCBlue012]

Give me Josh Donaldson, ASAP.
