Sounds like we should discuss Liam Hendriks

The ChiSox reliever is allegedly a trade target.

After the Otto and Robertson deals, this seems redundant. The story doesn't say who the Sox might want in return, but I would not want to see Baty or Vientos or Cookie go out for him.

That's the key question, isn't it? I'm sure it will take more than Darin Ruf and James McCann, at least not without hypnotizing the White Sox GM.

I'm talking about Liam Hendriks because why the hell shouldn't I

There was a rumor yesterday pre-Otto (as referenced in that thread) that we should now explore. He has a couple years and some money left on his deal, but the particulars of those don't matter in the least, dear reader.



Pros:

1) He's Australian which is undeniably fun

2) He's cusses like SO MUCH when he pitches which is as hilarious as it is awesome

3) He's a staunch LGBTQ+ ally, which is needed on the pitching staff now to counter Brooks Raley's ass

4) He's good at pitching baseballs and can be another elite, high-leverage, end game reliever



Cons:

1) We'd have to trade someone for him probably

2) [CROSSOUT]Money [/CROSSOUT] (oops forgot)

I like it. He's a real commode mouth.

Hendriks is under contract for two more years. Reinsdorf is one of the owners that voted against Steve so I don't know if he wants to do business with the Mets but if he is willing, Vientos and Escobar should get it done... and they have to take McCann back (where he was successful but they'll want the Mets to eat some of his contract).

Saw an article on Facebook the other day that discussed what the ChiSox would trade for McCann and how he helped their pitching staff in the past. Don't recall if the source was a ChiSox beat writer ( a tangible rumor)or just a fan.

Where there's smoke ...



OE: It was NBC Sports- Chicago.

Scratch the McCann element.

Irrelevant now but interestingly, the White Sox were one of the 5 teams that McCann had on his no-trade list

All the best to Liam Hendricks in his battle against Non-Hodgkins Lymphoma. I hope his treatments have minimal effect on his playing time, but more importantly, I pray they are successful.
