Mark Shapiro
sign wants
Do I think he wants to sign back here? Yes,
jason somewhere true truth
I don't think he showed us the true Jason Dubois when we got him. I'd like to think this is the real guy, but the truth is he's probably somewhere in between.
hardest
That, ... is the hardest thing in the world for a GM.
align frame good league major team time
He'll be a good major league player. It's just that the time frame didn't align with how this team has matured.
disconnect white
I just think there was a disconnect when the White Sox got out to such a big lead.
josh solid work worst
We've got to get him more work. He's another switch-hitter and a solid receiver. It wouldn't be the worst thing for Josh to play more.
believe injuries larger market survive win
Yes, it is tiny. Can we survive injuries like the larger market teams? No, we can't. But if you're a competitive person, you have to believe you can win to do this job.
again agreement clear deal next reach value
We're not going to reach an agreement on a multi-year deal with Cliff. We'll look at it again next year. It will be more clear what his arbitration value will be. We couldn't reach a value on that right now.
cleveland either jobs league major playing point stand
We won't stand in the way of either one getting major league jobs. But just because we've made these decisions, that's not to say that either one couldn't be playing in Cleveland at some point this year.
pull
When I pull back and think about it, there's some accomplishment. But there's no sense of satisfaction.
five pitch
We want him to pitch every five days.
factor hard maybe point quality season throw
We want him to throw quality strikes, not just hard strikes. He's going to be a contributor for us this year. Maybe not from day one, but at some point this season he'll be a factor for us.
address aware comment dangers decides further players short until
We want our players to be aware of the short and long-term dangers of these substances. Until Rafael decides how he will address this finding, we will have no further comment on the situation.
decisions early
We want to set the roster as early as we can. This year, the decisions are so few.
