Just like I hoped for…
So why doesn’t this deal make me more excited for 2017?
Because while I really like the deal that is bringing one of the best relievers you have never heard of, Tyler Thornburg to the Sox–although I am disappointed to see Travis Shaw leave…
I just reallyREALLY do not like the Chris Sale deal.
I don’t really have an issue with the players that went, although I think the secret and strength to a great team that will contend year after year is a strong farm system, and this deal did reduce that.
