Soooo....better than Jean Segura?

Maybe Jean can teach him the one knee swing.

I love this deal.

OK now we need more. SS, RP and SP. One hour.

I am not going to pretend I knew anything about this guy before today. But another unathletic poor defensive type. That is a pattern with this team and the guys it goes after. 

Burger cant stick at third. 1b/DH type, which yea, welcome to the club for this team. 

He actually hits for power which goes completely against the groundball singles hitters this team is full of

More trades plz

This is reminiscent of their “we need power” FA binge when they went and got Duvall to slot in the middle of the order. Doesn’t BB, doesn’t have any type of hit tool, power focused fastball masher

That's impossible, you cannot teach Jean-fu, especially swinging from your knees at those powerful breaking balls.

Hey @pollythewog go fuck off. Yes Segura was out there too much because they were gonna be stubborn and keep trying but you of all people should know Kim Ng isn't as dumb as we all think and she knows 3B needed an upgraded. Consider the timing of this trade you owe me an apology.

I'll wait.

I read earlier that the White Sox are taking Anderson off the table and will stick with him the rest of the year. I personally would have liked to see happen. But looking like Anderson will stay with the Sox.

Dang. Makes sense when value is this low and they're top SS prospect is still another year out. Woulds been a fun gamble tho. Thought maybe toronto would be an option w bichette getting hurt too

Mustard goes on a hot dog, ketchup goes on a burger

Let’s see what happens w segura first m8. They gonna slot him into SS or 2B to keep him in the lineup. 
 

also there’s no guarantee he’s going to play 3b. Might have him 1b/DH

I mean he's got power but holy shit his batting average and on base are horrible. 

It’s fine, power is the main thing the lineup needs.

Also, he’s replacing Jean Segura who hasn’t provided anything. 
 

Upgrade.

Burger's BABIP is ridiculously low, so there's probably some bad luck in the average a well.

Seems odd - you'd think a guy would want to go to somewhere like LAD to win.

Has more homers than our entire lineup outside of Soler combined*

*Probably not, but I bet it is close
