That’s because Elias is focused on Logan Gilbert

Lucky for us. He's been quite hittable.

Now this is some extreme hyperbole. He's not the dominant top 3 pitcher in baseball guy anymore, but he's still sporting a 3.12 ERA and 3.29 xERA

I used to be whatever about in-n-out, but you can still eat for less than $6 there.  When I go to better burger joints I leave a lot poorer.

Defintely. That was my reaction the last few times I've been. It's solid and its cheap. It's not a great burger, but it is nostalgic to me. It reminds me of an old drive in I used to go to as a kid in Virginia. I think other burger chains are better, but you are right, they are also more expensive. 

I know this is off topic, but I blame Jim Palmer.

Westburg in the line-up today, which would seem to indicate he's not going anyhwere, but obviously nothing is guaranteed.

Meh, deadline if before the game.

The thinking here only makes sense if you think that Cease is only as good as his worst stretch of baseball, and that none of our top 10 prospects will bust.

And the White Sox sure wont be selling under either assumption.

To get Cease, we'll have to give up some real value.

Is that Logan Gilbert’s maiden name?

Robert Murray is live on the baseball insiders podcast (YouTube) he announced the trade as he was tweeting it

You can't let 4 competitors for the AL Crown get better(Toronto, Houston, Tampa, Texas) and just sit on your hands.

Sure you can. Those moves are barely going to move the needle win-wise for those teams.  Hicks walks the yard, DeJong is a huge downgrade from Bichette. You don't make moves just because everyone else does, it has to make sense. We're in a great position as it is, we're going to the playoffs a year earlier than expected, I'd much rather they make the proper moves in the off-season and not off of panic mode/knee-jerk reactions to other teams making middling deals.
