Never trade with the Pirates or Orioles. Two back assed organizations whose word is no good.

It's not just that, the GM is negotiating in bad faith because he doesn't have authority to make the deal

They are in a horrible situation. They blew their run with a bunch of WC losses, now the team is starting to slip, they lost their Korean 3B because he's a bad drunk and can't get a visa, and if they trade McCutchen it'd be like the Cubs trading Ernie Banks in 1966 - justified but a fan base disaster.

Pittsburgh Pirates fans are like Blackhawks fans. There is a small core of dedicated fans, and a big bandwagon which rolls out for a while about once every 15 years.

Free-agent RHP Miguel Gonzalez is in agreement with the #WhiteSox on a one-year contract, sources tell The Athletic. Gonzalez had a 4.02 ERA in 268 2/3 innings with the White Sox in 2016-17.

Dave Cameron is going to work for the Padres.

If the cost of winning is hiring bloggers then I dont want to win.

Miguel Gonzalez is a perfect fit for the 2018 White Sox. He should perform decently, eat up some innings, shouldn't not cost much, and he won't block any of the young guys. Great deal by Hahn.

Hahn already waiving the white flag for next season. I thought the Sox were going to compete this year?

Very happy with the move. He was tradeable last year when they wanted to move him and pitched competently while here. He had that little bout of injury which tainted his numbers but I could very easily see him match 2016 numbers

I wonder whether some of these top free agents are going to hold out until next year's draft just to try to get top dollar by eliminating the supplemental draft picks that come with them.

cubs are a third team that's talked about gerrit cole lately. yanks and astros have more prospects, which may give them an edge. but pirates wouldn't mind getting MLB players back, too.

Damn that's a good deal for them. If they can land one of these starters they have a chance to be pretty damn good.
