Not Interested

I can’t seem to stop talking about the Mets. Now, they’ve scooped up Danny Mendick to go with Justin Verlander and Carlos Correa. Good for them. Stupid, as usual, for the White Sox. A team rooted in the South Side takes pride, or should, in its blue collar heritage. Sox fans prefer grind to flash, hustle to pimping. Mendick fit the bill perfectly. Naturally, he’s gone. Dollars to donuts that at some pint next season he rates a story in the NYT focusing on his style of play and noting how he’s come back from an ACL injury. Mets fans will love him just as much as Sox fans did. The Mets’ front office will value him where Rick Hahn didn’t.
