Fedde and Voth! What a pair. Back together with the ChiSox.

[nobleisthyname]

what did he make last year? $8 million? $10 million?

Quite the dropoff. There was value in that second year of team control when we first traded for him.

Funny.  It was obvious at the time he thought it had gone over the fence, but there were skeptics.

Jake Bennett getting a start against Team Puerto Rico tonight. did not go well - 3 runs in 2/3 of an inning. Gave up 4 hits and a walk with 2 WPs.

Eddie Rosario playing for PR. Pinch hit single and RBI.

[Count Walewski]

Kinda surprised nobody has signed Lucas Giolito.

Here’s a prediction.  But doesn’t make much sense to me. The article doesn’t mention Aaron Nola.   Or Tajuan Walker. Also I think that puts them in another luxury tax level which they dony want.

Graybeard Eddie Rosario delivers for Puerto Rico.
