Look at Ray Ray Run

Not verly, and other players that are young will get raises and they have to fill holes. Springer is going to cost a boat load. I'd be surprised if they resigned him but you never know.

Gardner just signed for 1 year 7.5 million. You are using brett gardner and 100 million dollars in the same sentence. What universe am I in? What do the Dodgers have to do with white sox free agency? Dickerson is arguably just as good as gardner and hes not 36 years old. Why do some white sox fans act like victims 24 hours a day?

They're up against the luxury tax right now. What do you mean they're not up against anything?

Astros are up against the ceiling. If they win the world series they may hid on Cole but with their contracts I dont see how they do extend him. He'll be older (31) and the stros need to lock up bregman and correa. The 2021 class has the two best RF'ers in the game arguably (springer and mookie) and you are arguing it's worse than this years crop? Say what?

Lol unbelievable. Yes, Sox fans would be liked up at the ticket office waiting to buy season tickets after the mighty brett gardner is signed. Gardner has zero interest in leaving New York. He made that very clear last year.

Dude we get it, you hate the white sox. My goodness. Dont use the term no one or everyone. People dont need to be lumped into your overly negative garbage.

Sheets was like the 12th best hitter in his league despite a slow start. Sheesh. You're disappointed in that? Weird stuff. Basebe had a messed up hand/wrist - what did you expect from him? Jack, you get way to down on young baseball players.

Hes not a free agent until next year. He'll be 31 so that might not be too far off. I like him more than machado and harper from 31-35.

With all the talk about Mookie next year I forgot that George Springer is a fa too. Yes please White Sox.

Got it. Wasn't sure what you were saying prior. Losing a 2nd and 3rd would certainly be a good sign.

Hawk was a train wreck at the end. The guy would go entire innings saying like 2 sentences when it was his inning. When the Sox were bad he was unbearable. Jason is light years better than Hawk, it's not even close.

Yeah, great strategy. In an open bidding process put your near top offer out there right away. /s Why do you root for a team that's not s professional franchise?

What does this even mean?

Why would I ever want any poster banned? As much as your thoughts are out there, at least it's another perspective different than mine and I have value in that. 40 million for avi. Yeesh.

Paying him 40 million is still a complete disaster. I'm not sure what you dont understand about will myers but he's bad at baseball in case you were wondering. You think avisail Garcia is going to sign for anywhere near 40 million this off season? My goodness. He'll be lucky to get 8 million.

Can you imagine how scary a rotation of Cole, Kope, Gio and cease would be. My lord the stuff in that rotation would be historically good. Gio would be the soft tosser in the group lol. Maybe lopez figures it out.

?

5 WAR over 3 years is not good and is below league average.

Idk, his career ERA and FIP are super close so fWAR a better predictor than bWAR imp.

4.0 1.7 3.5 Those are Quintana's fWAR over the past three years. That ranks 24th in all of baseball. The fact that you think that is similar to Nova, and that you believe they'll just let him go (as do others in this thread) is truly baffling.

The cubs are not signing cole. They are trying to cut salary but you think they're going to give a picture 30+ million a year?

You can go over the cap to resign your own players or veteran minimums. You can't just spend on non-vet minimum players.

Keep moving those goal posts.

The overwhelming negativity is just awful on this board sometimes. No hard feelings either way - passion about something causes passionate conversations and positions. Nothing wrong with either opinion, I just find the narrative lazy personally but I understand why people are down in general.

Sure but they havent been winning. When they competed every year they spent money. It's the entertainment industry. You distribute employee pay based on revenue. To answer the thread, I'll say Wheeler is the first player signed. Also, obviously I'd love an owner who didnt care at all about budgets.
