@Sam_Phalen He is unbelievable. What a weapon out of the bullpen. Will be interesting to see how they handle things going forward with him wanting to start.
@Noahp245 Gotcha. I guess I just don’t remember many deadline deals where it felt like only mid tier prospects were given up for legitimate starting pitching
@Noahp245 Do you think they would���ve gotten much big league starting pitching for their other mid tier prospects? Wolkow I can see. But not sure who else would’ve gotten them much legitimate SP. Bergolla maybe, if he had been healthy.
@Sam_Phalen Agreed. They have no money on the books. They can afford it, people are just worried about the risk with his down season. If the Sox can get him right, this is a major win.

"A leader, a winner... his presence on the field is undeniable. I think he fits US."

“I left the next morning and called my agent to tell him that’s where I want to be” - Roch Cholowsky on his visit to Chicago
He’s been following the team closely since then, starting using the Sox on MLB the Show, and is eager to get to Chicago.
