The upside is, the White Sox just got a lot worse. Now, that may seem like a small thing, but, to me, the easier it is to win the Central, the better for the post season. The Tigers haven't been able to slash payroll like they wanted to but it could still happen, and they've don't nothing to get better. The Royals are gearing up for a fire sale... Point being that the easier the path to the postseason the better. Get some guys rest down the stretch (and in the case of Salazar and Carrasso, in season once or twice) and bet in a better spot.
They're trying to create urgency so someone else will pay for him. That will leave no realistic market for Napoli.... and they'll be back where they started but with better leverage.
The rest of the central is looking to be a hot mess right now, that's true. Hopefully we take full advantage of it for a few years.
