    The Chicago teams are supposed to be the juggernauts.

    Maybe not.

    Depends - he got injections. Those work for some people. For the rest of the season it is going to be management, trying to keep it from swelling up or being over used. If his back is sore he isn’t going to help us at all.

    He is also complaining of a sore and dead arm - even if he is the best baseball player in the entire world.

    I'm not sold on the JV trade at all (although his last start was really nice), but the Graveman trade was pretty abominable. Trading Lee made a lot of sense but for a guy who has sucked this year? lol.

    Graveman was very meh with the White Sox this season but GM Crane and Dusty wanted him based off vibes from 2021. This team and organization operates off good ol’ gut feeling and old school traditional baseball now and not analytics.
