Now onto the News, Rumors, and Commentary…
“Rockies’ shortstop Trevor Story is “confused” after not being traded before today’s deadline, according to Patrick Saunders of The Denver Post. “I don’t have really anything good to say about the situation and how it unfolded,” Story says. Story has been often mentioned as a logical trade candidate, given the fact that he’s a pending…”
“The Cubs and White Sox swung a crosstown blockbuster, with the South Siders adding star reliever Craig Kimbrel in exchange for second baseman Nick Madrigal and right-hander Codi Heuer. Kimbrel will pair with Liam Hendriks to give the Sox a lethal one-two punch at the back end of the bullpen. Kimbrel becomes the second reliever dealt between the crosstown rivals in…”
“We’re not trying to hit you right there,'” Reyes said.”Like nobody would do that.” “He came at me, pushed me, and he shouldn’t have pushed in the first place because in that situation we’re not trying to hit anybody,” Pérez said of his encounter with La Russa. He didn’t understand what the White Sox were trying to do after Abreu was hit and will like it even less if he or any of his teammates gets hit in retaliation this weekend. You hit our man,” said White Sox shortstop Tim Anderson, who delivered the go-ahead hit off Karinchak during a two-run eighth played sloppily by Cleveland. “Tonight was one of many times that we’ve shown it and we’re going to make sure that he doesn’t just get hit the hell with it just because they don’t want to face him.”
“They’re going at the ball. They’re going to try to make a play. Zimmer had the ball in his glove until right fielder Daniel Johnson delivered a hit to Zimmer that would make the best Cleveland Browns defensive back stand up and take notice. But it looked like a catchable play as center fielder Bradley Zimmer raced over and under it.”
“The White Sox want to win the 2021 World Series at the outset of this competitive window, and they reinforced that point Friday by acquiring Cubs closer Craig Kimbrel in exchange for second baseman Nick Madrigal and right-handed pitcher Codi Heuer. TRADE DETAILS White Sox get: RHP Craig Kimbrel Cubs get: 2B Nick Madrigal, RHP Codi Heuer It’s a high talent price for the White Sox to pay, but not unlike when the Cubs sent infielder Gleyber Torres to the Yankees in exchange for closer Aroldis Chapman as an important final component to a 2016 World Series title. “My conversation with Craig earlier this afternoon was all about winning championships and playing a role in helping to put us in the strongest position to get him another ring, and to get some of the guys down in that clubhouse their first ring,” Hahn said. The roles are reversed this time around, with the Cubs looking like the rebuild and the White Sox trying to win it all.”
“Having the added control on both players factored heavily into the decisions to acquire.” Madrigal and Heuer tough to lose The price of adding a late-inning force such as Kimbrel became Nick Madrigal, who was the White Sox starting second baseman for the past two years, and right-handed reliever Codi Heuer. Parting with Codi Heuer is not easy,” Hahn said. “We were trying to avoid robbing Peter to pay Paul, so to speak,” Hahn said. But there’s also the matter of contractual control, with the Sox holding a $6 million option on newly acquired second baseman César Hernández for 2022 and holding a $16 million club option with a $1 million buyout on Kimbrel as well.”
“(Last updated: July 24) 60-day IL RHP Evan Marshall (right forearm soreness) Expected return: TBD Marshall was moved to the 60-day IL to make room on the 40-man roster for newly acquired reliever Ryan Tepera. Right now, we’re hoping we can get it fixed.” (Last updated: July 30) 10-day IL “Jake’s making a lot of progress,” La Russa said. ROSTER MOVES July 30: RHP Craig Kimbrel acquired from the Cubs in exchange for 2B Nick Madrigal and RHP Codi Heuer The move gives the White Sox one of the top bullpens, and really one of the top pitching staffs, in all of baseball. • All White Sox transactions INJURY UPDATES Day to day Manager Tony La Russa spoke of Jiménez being improved after getting treatment, but being unavailable for the series opener against Cleveland, missing his second straight contest.”
