It doesn't.

At the time I wasn't impressed with his secondary pitches.

The White Sox are flipping the script and aggressively pursuing a bat, Bob Nightengale of USA Today reports on Twitter. Among the many players they’ve inquired about, per the report, is Yoenis Cespedes of the Tigers.

It remains unclear at present precisely where the club would like to add. Cespedes, of course, is a rental outfielder, but Chicago has received fairly marginal production at almost every spot on the diamond. First base (Jose Abreu) and center field (Adam Eaton) seem to be the only two positions where an upgrade would not make any real sense, though obviously the team is unlikely to replace veterans like Alexei Ramirez (at short) and Melky Cabrera (in the outfield). That Cespedes holds interest seems to suggest that Chicago is willing to take time away from Avisail Garcia and/or Adam LaRoche (the team’s right fielder and primary DH, respectively).

More importantly, perhaps, is the question of what kind of price the club might be willing to pay to get something done and whether the team is considering a move for controllable assets. Chicago is not exactly in an enviable position, though the team has played better of late. The division-rival Tigers are selling despite the fact that they are only one game behind Chicago in the standings. The White Sox are 11.5 games back of the leading Royals, and remain two-and-a-half out of Wild Card position.

With the team pursuing a bat, it would seem highly unlikely that righty Jeff Samardzija will be moved.

Cool. I was wrong about that. Too bad he's not doing shit this year.

Anyways...



You guys keep bringing up the past like its gonna happen again. This is why you guys need to stop your revisionist history bullshit... Gomez won't put up another 8.4 WAR again. If he does, then shit he definitely proved me wrong, but he looked extremely fatigued and winded, and narrowly missed landing on the DL this year.

I'm not saying Puig is better than Gomez, but I would rather take on Puig's reasonable contract in hopes he will make up for it. Which he can in my mind, considering his high ceiling, and fiery attitude.

We give you Shit because your arguments contradict themselves.

If you just came out and said "I don't know why, but I like player A more than player B regardless of stats", wed get off your back a bit.

“According to an organizational source, the team is still looking at options on the trade market, with both rotation and bullpen options on the table.”

“Two options that the Jays could look at are Padres’ righty Andrew Cashner and Mets’ lefty Jon Niese, according to a source.”
