This is the most exciting thing ever

Please, Joe, Please. Outside of Mo, a 9th inning closer is the most overrated position in sports. Use your best pitcher in the biggest situation, period.

Two beast relievers, one from the left and one from the right. What I would give to keep Robertson still, though they aren't doing $80 mil to two relievers.

who the hell is Jonah Keri?

Cliffy either got his old job back or got the hang of his new one.

He is a journalist. Mostly sports/baseball. Wrote an awesome book on the Rays.

haha. A slow Friday after a busy week and the Yankees making moves.

Disappointed in the Robertson news. I never saw them spending $80 million on two bullpen pieces, but still sucks seeing a home grown player leave like that.

Damn. But I think we saw this coming when he turned down the $15 mill

Yeah, I know. Still sucks.

So how excited should I be for Robertson with the White Sox? I know he's coming off a great year, but is the contract they gave him crazy or a good deal?

I think it is a fine contract. He is coming off his worst year in a couple years, but he is still an elite reliever and it isn't the easiest job replacing Mo. You will like him. He is a lot of fun to watch pitch.

Awesome Boston lost out on Lester. They don't sign Hanley and Pablo and go into the season with that rotation, so they either have to dump potentially $200 mil into Scherzer (not going to happen) or trade some of their young good pieces for someone like Hamels who is also 30. Always like when they have to trade away pieces from their solid farm.

Think the Yankees sign Scherzer? I doubt the Sox will.

I would love Scherzer but not at $200 mil.

This sucks, but that is steep for a guy with that shoulder history. That said, he is awesome and that sucks.

Gotta hope Kuroda comes back
