He seemed to be able to withstand...

Pitching life in the big leagues, in terms of injuries, you handled him well as a reliever and then transitioned him to starter.

And he emerged as a full-on ace.

And yet you as an organization were not in a position to really benefit from that.

It was understandable, but it was a disappointment that they had to do it.

But looking at the return right here, Wickleman Gonzalez has already been in the big leagues and could be again.

Chase Mydroff is better this year than he was last year.

The WRC Plus is up to around 108, I believe, maybe even 110.

And he's definitely a gamer.

Oh, he is a gamer.

He is a dude who can be on your team when you're good.

Like, you feel good about Chase Midroth being a part of your team when it matters.

Kyle Teal, you know, hit really well last year.

And once he's back from that injury, should be the number one catcher again.

They're surviving with Caro and Romo, but Teal will be a big deal.

And then last night you saw the jewel of the four people in that trade.

You saw Braden Montgomery, the former number 12 overall pick.

by the Red Sox, who the White Sox traded for at a time when he had never played a pro game.

Remember?

Because, what, two years ago, he broke the ankle while at Texas A&M.
