The trade deadline this year is going to be INSANE. The Reynolds of the worlds (stars with escalating arbitration values or near FA times) will be given away if these teams lose this revenue. Smart GMs with some savvy are salivating.

MLB trade rumors has that breakdown as well from Rosenthal. It's pretty insane. But also totally reasonable. Hopefully the trend of get paid what you are actually worth becomes the norm with contracts.

Are they?
It's a slogan. in 2005 would they have died if they didn't win? ?

We are trying REALLY HARD!

This feels like a very good depth move. Now if they can just find something similar on the SP front, they at least can pencil in something.

for all you doomsday haters...don't bury them too much (this is vegas we are talking about)

Wacha wants 2 years, 30 million apparently. Makes sense why he hasn't signed yet...and most likely he holds out a bit more until someone either gives in or gets desperate due to injury. Won't happen with Sox at that price.

Instead of these worthless bars in the upper deck, build a dispensary/coffeeshop where fans can buy and use their weed. It's a win/win. Sox make more money, more fans can tolerate the product they put on the field by ingesting products into their bodies.
A weedtender outfield spot sounds dope. Just not on the 500 level...

The Sox did have a terrible offseason. No doubt.
But pointing to Abreu and the fact that they didn't hit for power last season as the main reasons displays a lack of understanding of the larger problem with the roster construction.
Key players staying healthy, getting better defensively and getting more left handed were far more important than paying a declining Abreu $19M AAV, or whatever it was, to block fixing the defense and left handed issues. Love Pito; wish he was a Sox for life. But it was the right decision.
Yep. And as several of us have said...Vaughn will outproduce Pito in power numbers over the next 3 years and is cost controlled. The big issue here is that Eloy sucks in the field and so the roster was squeezed. Blame Hahn for that.

At least we get some good news on 35th. Kind of sad that this is what we have to look forward to currently over you know...the team.

I thought about this deeper. When you scrape for discounts, reclamation projects and small commitments...you get the bottom of the barrel. This whole situation is a product of Jerry Reinsdorf's cheap ass reluctancy to give out big deals and you end up with big pieces of s%*# like Clevinger. Window was never open and won't even unlock until the man behind the curtain croaks.

And that’s when it will be. Even if it’s that little, that doesn’t mean he shouldn’t be working at it.
This is what I see here. The only caveat to this is if Colas stinks. then Eloy WILL be starting in RF until he kills himself again.

Everyone is quick to blame the Sox front office for this...I think the bigger picture here is how awful the MLB truly is. Bauer process played out awful, nearly 2 decades of steroids mishandling, Astros getting a hand slap for admitted cheating – why do any of us love this sport ran by either morons or just plain greed? Gosh I hate this scenario, MLB, the White Sox and MOST importantly that piece of trash human if he is indeed guilty of any allegation here (he is).
-
FML. well if he is gone...Bauer...step on down to the disfunctional family of cretons
-
If they actually trade something for Madrigal....this is officially the worst off-season in White Sox history.

Wouldn't at all shock me to see Lopez in the top 5 of AL Cy voting in one of the next two years.
I'll take that bet...He wont. But getting the prospects also make minny win this trade. They are better, but that top of the lineup takes a beating without Arraez and when the annual Buxton multi month DL vaca starts

Minny has bad pitching. Now they have better pitching. They also dont have a leadoff hitter....and if Buxton misses his annual 1/3 of the season +, they have really weakened their offense. Bold strategy, this could make them the division favorites, or really blow up in their faces if Lopez doesnt translate well in AL.

Bryan Reynolds is the plan all along /sarcasm. Robert...this is your year to stay healthy and shine. IF NOT...Hahn is fucked.

Yup. I am expecting a very big season from Lucas, tbh.
If he does they win the division most likely. So let's all root for him to dominate!

There are very minimal rewards in life if one never takes any risk. Any player can get hurt badly during the first 3 years of any big contract. Correa is still only 28. There is a good chance that this injurt doesn't truly hamper his play until he is well into his 30s.
Absolutely. No insurance would definitely be a hangup for many teams. High risk, high reward indeed. If Cohen backed out... it's risky....that dude doesn't GAF about money often
-
Reasonable back end to that deal for Twins...makes me confident that Boras KNOWS his ankle is hanging on a tendon and had NO opt outs.
With all this physical history...zero chance this is getting insured as well, correct? What a devastating contract that would be if he gets hurt badly in any of the first 3 years.
-
33.3 mil a season. He helps make them better no doubt...but I wonder how much left they have to spend. Also...isn't it freaking weird that they didn't sign anyone else after he got those high priced contracts that fizzled...almost like they knew his medicals were bad...
-
Correa to Twins makes too much sense. let that dude rot on a 3rd place team as an albatross that prevents them from getting good pitching.

La Stella, Moustakas available now for minimum...both released. Do either of these make any sense?
Unless La Stella's Achilles healed 100%, his career is basically over.
Andrus to the Sox, expected to play 2B, 1 yr, $3 mil

This is the dumbest take I've ever seen on this site. Literally your franchise SS vs a 3 mil economy deal. Are you personally gonna ask Tim to move to 2nd?
