jeff passan suggests trading robert to phillies for a "haul'

I understand why teams would be interested, but why would Philly give up a "haul" for an injury prone player? If last year was his peak value, I don't think they would get more than 50-60% of that right now.

dont shoot the messenger, i just read the article because i saw robert on the front page of espn.com

The Phillies don't really have "a haul" to give. To me, "a haul" should include at least one top 10 type of guy. Also, this current batch of MLB prospects does not seem very top heavy and the only teams that can give "a haul" are not likely to do so.

I can't help but think of the haul we got for Sale and the haul for Eaton and the haul for Quintana.

If memory serves, guys like Moncada and Eloy were considered to be better prospects than anything that's available now. They should try the radical idea of keeping their best players and seeing what happens.

Their best players blow.

Pham should have caught that Ohtani homer, but of course didn’t even come close to touching it as it bounced off the top of the fence.

Yep. Crochet, Fede, Robert, no one would have any use for those guys.

Youre right. They've done so much for the Sox. Really made the guys around them better and carried the team on their backs.

I guess no one will be interested in trading for them, because they suck.

Well... they're not winners. Really never were. How long has it been since Robert was a winner? Or... is it his robust offensive season? Truth is I don't think he sucks. I think he's probably badly injured.

True. They're not winners, but how many "winners" are there in baseball? It's not basketball where, if you're really good, you can make your presence felt all over the court, you're kind of stuck in your lane. To be a "winner" in baseball, you have to be the type of guy to get in someone else's face. I think they're very few guys like that out there.

Batboy has better hands than half the infielders

He’s fucking terrible but it is fitting for this team. Is there anyone that really believes he should be calling MLB games. Say what you want about Benetti but he was a professional. This guy is a fucking clown.

It looks like they at least considered keeping Crochet.

Rockies with at least 6 stellar defensive plays today.

Schriffen in addition to small sample size Sox player success praising I noticed he has another fun gimmick. He praises eventually all Sox players for vast improvements in a facet of their game through off or in season hard work.

White Sox on pace for 117 losses.

one of my biggest bets ever also coincided with my luckiest bet ever...had over 7.5 yesterday
tied 2-2 going into extras i didn't appear to have a chance, the fact i got it was insanely lucky.

A very pleasant day at the ballpark yesterday. Sucks to have such a long game, but we saw some great defense in CF. The Kids Zone/Fundamentals deck and the Kid's Club is the one thing the Sox consistently do incredibly well. It's always a unique grab bag for the kids with decent souvenirs, not some trinkety bullshit. There were a lot of free activities on the concourse for kids as well (balloon animals, caricatures, face painting, a few NASCAR related games/giveaway). I had never been in attendance for any game at any level that had a 14th inning stretch until yesterday.

Grabbed cheap upper deck seats and ended up sitting at the top of Sec 130 all game. Shade and great sightlines.

Here’s what I posted when he went to the Sox



T-Dub may still be better than Kasper.

Cmon. You guys know Kapser as Cub broadcaster was treated like a star by SCR.. Concerts with Spiegs and Theo and weekly radio segments kissing his ass.

As oppposed to the knob polishing they currently do of Benetti ?
