I don’t understand why a team would trade a guy who had over 100 RBI this season. Even if Naylor has some deficiencies on defense (which I don’t know if that’s the case), his offense surely outweighs any short comings.

Over the last 3 seasons, Naylor has put up 118, 127, and 118 wRC+.
He put up +1, 0, and -4 DRS over the last 3 seasons at first.
He is a solid package for a first baseman. Not a star, perhaps, but very solid.

Naylor would make sense for the yankees astros tigers and mariners who could use another lefty and a good first baseman

I don’t think the Yankees should be included in that list

The comment at 24:59 regarding Tropicana Field’s roof is misinformed. The Rays are not the landlord; the City of St. Petersburg is and are the ones solely responsible for the maintenance of the roof and building.

I knew CWS would start the sale process. You gut the team and lower liability of future payroll. You have a stadium deal that seems could be rejected by a corrupt city. Apathy amongst the fan base, no TV contract. All of these are a recipe for a multi-billionaire to move a historic franchise to the new hottest market city and make it their own. Reinsdorf playing chess and the fans are the checkers.

Im glad to see the White Sox support their former player in his bid for a Cy Young.
