Some people say winning isn't everything. I say those people never won anything.
Quitters never win, winners never quit, but those who never win AND never quit are idiots.
The last thing I want to do is hurt you...but it's still on the list.
Some people are like Slinkies, they are not really good for anything but they still bring a smile to your face when you push them down a flight of stairs.

Robertson signed with a protected pick team, so the Yankees missed out on a snadwich pick that would have been at the end of the first round. Instead, they now get the 45th pick of the draft, which Chicago has to give them. They lose roughly 15 spots in the draft.

Robertson rejected the Yankees’ qualifying offer, so New York will get an extra pick at the end of the first round of next year’s draft as compensation. The White Sox’ top pick, No. 8 overall, is protected, but they’ll sacrifice their second-round pick, No. 45 overall, once the Robertson signing becomes official.

Originally posted by Moonlight J View PostYea, I get where I've tangled it in my head. I thought that the change was that instead of getting the draft slot of a non-protected team, you just got the sandwich pick. If your guy signed with a protected team, you got their highest-remaining pick.Some people say winning isn't everything. I say those people never won anything.

Now that Jason's brain is working again let's talk about the trade. Here is the full trade:
White Sox acquired RHP Jeff Samardzija and RHP Michael Ynoa from the Athletics for INF Marcus Semien, RHP Chris Bassitt, 1B Rangel Ravelo, and C Josh Phegley.
I don't know anything about Ravelo but it certainly seems like a light return for Samardzija.I'm unconsoled I'm lonely, I am so much better than I used to be.

And TC, it simply said "to clarify", that meant for everyone...don't get all defensive because your team isn't making a big splash. Look on the bright side, you still have at least 3 more years of A-Rod..."Never interrupt your enemy when he is making a mistake."

The As haul in this deal is a whole lot better than their previous two, IMO. Semien's a decent SS with some hitting upside, and Ravelo has some upside and started to see a power bump this year. They'd only get one more year out of Samardzija and Ynoa was lost in their system.I'm just here for the baseball.
