Tim Anderson is a way better consolation than Mitch Trubisky.

Well, at least we know we would have never retained him past arbitration.

I don't know if this counts as memorabilia, but I breakout this jacket every opening day.

Unlike the last clown skipper, glad Grandal isn't going to be fixated 2 and 3 all season.

Child, listen to yourself. You're the one bitching and whining about the lack of the desire the Sox had in chasing washed up pitchers like Arrieta and Rich Hill. How would this be any different than the sorry ass work Hahn has done in the past of getting over the hill scrubs like Gio Gonzalez, Matt Latos, Derek Holland, Ervin Santana?

If the decision has been made that Vaughn is the man, then I don't want to see a handcuff on him, taking away ABs

If not signing Rich Hill is making you lose sleep, then you got problems.

And many scouts all over MLB fired, scouts who bought a lot of stock on Moncada, Robert, Eloy, Kopech, , Giollito, Vaughn, Madrigal, Cease etc.

It's over then. Make sure you don't follow until 2022. Go enjoy golf.

Folks still running spreadsheet calculations to prove they were allegedly lied to by the front office. Need to let this shit go.

Why do we keep doing this ??

You put him in RF and he would make Eloy look like a GG in LF. Baseball also involves defense.

Any controllable TOR arm starts with a package including both Vaughn and Kopech. A team crying poor all the time, it's a move they would never make.

It takes two to tangle. Maybe the guy wants a legit shot at sticking on a rotation for a full season, something the Sox can't guaranteed.

When you own a business, come talk to me.

Only the Dodgers and perhaps the Yankees have the finances to operate this way. All other teams if you can't pay cheaply for 2/5 or 3/5 of your rotation, you are screwed.

Let's get there first, assuming no fire sale prior to.

Hell, let's clear the $20 million line first. LOL

Bob's source is Hector Gomez

Rockies, Dbacks and Giants should just fold at this point.

CY Young award for a 60 game season is not climbing Mt Everest. He's a good pitcher, but I'm not paying him $30 million per season based on very little accomplished at the big league level. This to go along with the baggage (although some want to dismiss the fact that the guy is a fucking weirdo), no thanks. If Terry Francona wanted no part in this act, stay away.

Yeah, kind of glad this clown act isn't happening here. Not that it was ever considered.

Amen. I mean, how delusional do you need to keep being as a fan?

I realize this is yet another thread that has evolved into "fuck the cheap owner, I hope he dies." I will stick to my stand of not being overly upset at how the White Sox spend their money until it comes down to retaining our own talent. That's where I will be holding pitchforks and stones with the rest of you. I don't want to hear Rick Hahn and Reinsdorf cry poor when it's time to pay up for Lucas Giollito. When it's time to re-extend Tim Anderson or any of the other young players we have that have broken out to stars at some point. If we have another bail out like in the 90s of losing our core in McDowell, Fernandez, Alvarez, Ventura all because we didn't want to pay the market on our own guys, I'm going to have a real big issue with that.

By that same measure, the Yankees would be close to $300 million today and everyone else in line the same way. Is that happening? No, I don't think so.
