00:00All right. Let's go to the Chicago White Sox, who waited to make an offseason splash by signing
00:06Sir Anthony Dominguez to pitch the back end of their games. It's such a nice season,
00:11I believe, for Toronto, if I'm not mistaken. Last year, Dominguez has always been
00:15in high leverage situations and pitching well. The White Sox traded Louis Robert to the Mets,
00:21seemingly freed up a little extra cash there. And so now, let's just be honest, Dominguez
00:26chased the bag here. Figured maybe this is his last multi-year deal. Let me get paid.
00:31Yeah, I think that's a fair assessment on it. One thing that I do want to note, though,
00:36is how many back end trios and bullpens, you look across the landscape of Major League Baseball,
00:43have their seventh, their eighth, and their ninth inning guy all striking out over 11 per nine
00:49last year. The list is short. And you look at the three that they have, Sir Anthony Dominguez,
00:56Jordan Leisure and Grant Taylor. All three of them have electric stuff. But I think what the White
01:02Sox want to do by bringing in Dominguez is move Grant Taylor back to the rotation. Because you look
01:08at the White Sox lineup right now, and I know they're coming off 60 wins and nobody's really
01:12paying attention to them. But during this rebuild, those guys are getting a little bit older that
01:17were rookies last year or in the minor leagues. The lineup looks a little bit more exciting. And then
01:22you look at the bullpen and see that trio, but potentially putting Grant Taylor in the rotation,
01:26you see it forming, right? There's a lot of teams in Major League Baseball who don't seem to have a
01:32plan. And it seems to be just the same old thing every year. The White Sox, they took their licks.
01:38And I think they're getting better and better. And I think this points towards it.
