A MUCH needed rotation add for the Phillies. Total gamble though. If he repeats the last two seasons then it's a solid deal. He could just as easily have his arm detach mid-pitch.

Lol White Sox. Best GM and FO in Chicago sports my ass.

that story comes out with every signing.

 

It's a win/win/win from a PR standpoint.

 

Player looks like good guy because he took less to go where he wants to be.

Winning team looks good because they were an attractive job without being highest bidder.

Losing team looks good because they gave it the old college try and attempted to open purse strings.

 

 

It's always a lie.

The giveaway in this case was "wanting to be close to New Jersey."

I would much rather have Yu at his remaining 4 year $81MM contract than Wheeler at 5 and $118MM.

With the Twins and WSox both in on Madbum and now that CHW lost Wheeler, the White Sox pretty much have to throw crazy money.
