Even longer if this is what they're trading their best assets for.

Damn, this fukked up my day. :kobewhatever:

You got a few nice arms in the minors that could make up a nice staff one day with Fulmer but nothing in terms of positional players

Their farm system has been barren forever. Castellanos is the only decent position player they've brought up in ages. Verlander is the only good starter they've developed from their own system.

Ten of the top 100 prospects (Baseball America) in their farm system

Blake Rutherford and Ian Clarkin are two of the players getting dealt

@Brozay HANNNN putting in work :wow:
The work he's done since the winter is truly remarkable. I couldn't be anymore pumped man. Damn. Well be seeing a Yanks/Chi Sox ALCS down the road :lawd:

Lowkey, Tommy Kahnle is filth and that bullpen of yours is outrageous now.

Fraizer will add some pop and hopefully help your playoff push.

Frazier's gonna play 1B I presume. He's Chris Carter at his worst but he's a Yankee Stan in a walk year so he better show & prove.

Our pen is nasty but we still need a starter if they're still too hesitant to give Chance The Pitcher a shot. Hopefully Sonny Gray's price comes down

Frazier's only hitting .207 on the year but he's posting a VERY good ISO of .225.
That his BABIP has been in the low .200s for a year and a half now seems to indicate one hell of a stretch of bad luck, particularly when you consider his K rate and Flyball rates are fine. And he's still pulling the ball well so it's not like pitchers are blowing him away.

The dude is OPSing .923 away from Chicago this season (and .813 last season) so you've gotta think there's something about that park he absolutely hates.

He's a solid pickup for whomever gets him.

Im too lazy on my phone to pull any numbers, but he seems to have been hitting well as the all star break approached from what I've watched. Hopefully the Yanks make a big push. Need another SP

Is that true?

If so it's a credit to them for sticking with Rick Hahn and allowing him to rebuild.

A lot of GMs would have been let go.
Moncada, Jimenez, Kopech, Robert, Lopez, Giolito, Rutherford, Cease, Zach Collins, Fulmer
