Sydin posted:They have the Bulls which are an infinite money making machine that consistently tops the league for attendance even when they're total dogshit, and comes with way more prestige than the White Sox do. Not all that surprising "dump our bad baseball team for a wad of cash and then milk the Bulls" is the assumed plan from his heirs. so are the kids actually interested in the Bulls or do they just hate sports in general I dunno, if I was going to inherit a baseball team, I would at least try for a couple years before selling

Better get mashing, Mervis. Coop died so you could live.

I guess the Cubs are fine with Wisdom being the righty bat who strikes out a gazillion times.

Weird, Cooper was actually pretty decent. Not sure I love this move.

Cooper and Wisdom are basically the same player, but Wisdom is (slightly) younger and still hasn't even hit arb yet (lmao). This kinda felt inevitable once Wisdom was 100% back.

Little, Weznasty, Mervis all up Gotta wonder if both Smyly and Kyle's IL trips are more about getting a breather for some vets who've looked like dogshit. Good stuff all around, nice to see the team actually be willing to make some in-season roster moves unlike last year. R.D.

Good stuff all around, nice to see the team actually be willing to make some in-season roster moves unlike last year. I don't really have trouble believing that both are legitimate IL placements; Smyly's been injury-prone ever since his Tommy John back in Seattle, and it is patently obvious that Hendricks' shoulder is bothering him much more than he actually lets on. Dude has no movement on any of his pitches.
