Trade alert!

Quote:
The White Sox traded cash considerations to the Kansas City Royals in exchange for Mike Mayers, a right-handed veteran reliever, according to multiple reports.

Mayers, 31, is in his eighth season in MLB. He holds a career 5.21 ERA in 204 games and over 260 innings pitched. His 265 career strikeouts to 96 total walks are eye-popping. This season, he's pitched 26.1 innings in six games this season, holding onto a 6.15 ERA.

The Ohio native was drafted in the third round of the 2013 draft by the St. Louis Cardinals. He spent seasons in their farm system and made his big league debut in 2016. Mayers played four seasons with the Cardinals before shifting to the Los Angeles Angels for three seasons. He then played this half-season with the Royals before being traded to the Sox.

The 2024 season marks his final year in arbitration before he enters free agency for the first time in his career. He is under a one-year deal worth just over $700,000 this season.

Rick Hahn is trying to corner the market on affordable, substandard right-handed relievers that can't find the strike zone. Well done Rick!

I know not everyone agrees but I don't think you should be able to buy a human with cash.

Next, they are going to bring Billy Hamilton back from Charlotte.

The theory is that they're going to trade a lot of arms on their big league roster and need some journeymen to fill the void.

Hahn is going to blow this, isn't he?

We should have had some movement by now with some of the lesser guys. I understand with the more headline guys you might try to goose the market until the very end.

and you know that fucker JR will want him to take lesser prospects rather than eat any money

Minnesota on the road this weekend, then Cleveland at home. They want to hold out to see if the Sox jump back into the playoff picture. Makes sense.
