An Open Letter To The White Sox Regarding The Free Agency Of One Daniel Murphy


Dear White Sox,

I've had some fun with the run that Mets second baseman Daniel Murphy is currently on. He's homering at an amazing rate in the playoffs, and seeing as how he'll be a free agent that isn't nearly as good as this recent run suggests, I can only assume the White Sox will be signing him this winter.

A feeling that was only reinforced when I went to the online shop on your official website. You see, I was going to jokingly create a personalized Daniel Murphy White Sox shirsey to tweet as a joke, but when I did that, this his what happened.

The way I figure, there are only two things that could possibly be happening here. The first is that you're trolling me, and if that's indeed the case, my heart did grow three sizes this day. The second option is that you might actually be signing Daniel Murphy this winter.

So in case it's the latter, I'd like you to read the rest of this open letter very closely.

PLEASE DON'T SIGN DANIEL MURPHY PLEASE DON'T SIGN DANIEL MURPHY PLEASE DON'T SIGN DANIEL MURPHY PLEASE DON'T SIGN DANIEL MURPHY HE'S NOT THAT GOOD PLEASE DON'T SIGN DANIEL MURPHY PLEASE DON'T SIGN DANIEL MURPHY PLEASE DON'T SIGN DANIEL MURPHY HE'S ONLY BEEN WORTH MORE THAN 2.0 bWAR IN ANY SEASON ONCE AND THAT WAS 2011 PLEASE DON'T SIGN DANIEL MURPHY PLEASE DON'T SIGN DANIEL MURPHY PLEASE DON'T SIGN DANIEL MURPHY HE'S NOT A GOOD FIELDER PLEASE DON'T SIGN DANIEL MURPHY PLEASE DON'T SIGN DANIEL MURPHY PLEASE DON'T SIGN DANIEL MURPHY PLEASE DON'T SIGN DANIEL MURPHY HE'S GOING TO BE A CAREER NATIONAL LEAGUER MOVING TO THE AMERICAN LEAGUE AFTER TURNING 30 THAT HAS NEVER BLOWN UP IN OUR FACE BEFORE NO SIR DON'T SIGN DANIEL MURPHY PLEASE DON'T SIGN DANIEL MURPHY PLEASE DON'T SIGN DANIEL MURPHY PLEASE DON'T SIGN DANIEL MURPHY PLEASE DON'T SIGN DANIEL MURPHY PLEASE DON'T SIGN DANIEL MURPHY PLEASE DON'T SIGN DANIEL MURPHY.

Thank you for taking the time to read this letter,
Tom

An Existential Crisis

"What the fuck am I doing here?" I'm on vacation from work this week and trying to avoid the internet as much as possible during that time. My morning routine remains mostly unchanged, though, as I wake up, crack open the laptop, do Immaculate Grid and Wordle, and skim to see what I've missed since last connecting myself to the collective hivemind. While doing this, I saw a headline about how Dylan Cease was coveted by the Houston Astros from Jon Heyman. I then looked at Houston's farm system to see if they even had enough to pry Cease away, and that's when I asked myself the question above. What the fuck was I doing? Was I really beginning to look at prospect lists for teams interested in White Sox players? Was I going to pretend to give a fuck about some kid I've never seen play again? I went through it a few years ago when The Great Rebuild began. We all did, and you know what? While some of the games were fun because of the low stakes, and the concept

What You Need To Know About The Derek Holland Signing

Oh hell yeah the White Sox have made their first blockbuster free agent signing of the winter. The big-time free agent deal that is going to accelerate this rebuild, and propel the Sox right back into the division hunt in 2017. That's right, the White Sox have signed Derek Holland . Anytime you can replace Chris Sale with Derek Holland, you are one step closer to that world title, my friends. Okay, seriously, this isn't an exciting signing, but it's not supposed to be. This is just the boring kind of signing that you're supposed to make during a rebuild, as you still need people to fill out those 25 roster spots while your prospects continue to bake in the oven. So what do you need to know about the Holland signing? Let's break it down.

How Would You Like To Invest In Luis Robert's Future?

Sports betting became legal in the state of Illinois in 2020, and in the last week it became a lot easier to place a bet. Originally, if you wanted to start an account at a local book, you had to open the account in person at the book. Only after doing that would you be able to place bets online or on your phone. Well, you can now open an account online. The pandemic that has robbed us of sports ironically led to making it easier for us to bet on the sports we no longer have. I opened a BetRivers account online earlier this week, and then began doing what I always do: I looked for odds I could exploit. I found them rather easily too. Once sports betting became legal in Illinois I was interested in seeing what kind of lines and value I could find on Chicago-related odds. It's important to remember that while there are professional gamblers out there who treat it no differently than others treat the stock market, the overwhelming majority of sports bettors are doing it for fun
