Well, he's not wrong

I mean did you miss the news 2 weeks ago

It’s also how ‘big boys’ get themselves in a lot of trouble.

Def don’t feel great about this one anymore

We think* and for now

Which is why you trade some of them for other things. There's 5 guys there for one position, and you're probably better off looking to FA/Trade to fill that spot anyway.

Being a sports writer for a paper in 2019 is such a racket.

Zack Collins best case scenario is a less useful Joc Pederson

I partially agree, but there are very different circumstances surrounding the similar win totals.

1 hour

They would only be getting whatever time he spends in Chicago in 2020 "back" correct, like we would just want this year to not count? The math on this is frying my brain atm.

Most of the players the White Sox select struggle a lot. Regardless of where they came from.

That is a White Sox problem, not an AL vs NL one.

If we don't see them fire back with Bruce, I could see it being a back off this guy is ours message but who's to say

I'd be perfectly content to play Leury with a dash of Engel on the weak side of a platoon.

You'll never get me to buy the NL players = bad thing. Adam Laroche was a bad move when it happened. Adam Dunn was old. Frazier was actually mostly fine. It ain't 1975.

Fair enough, I just thought it was kinda funny.

Also, If Wheeler signs here, the Machado money will almost literally all have been spent in one off-season.

Bout a win + less concern he comes here and forgets how to play baseball.

My only expectation is I will be blindsided by it wherever he ends up

I normally try to avoid this comparison, buuuuuuuuuuuuut should they land Wheeler it's almost uncanny how much the Sox off season is shaping up like the 14-15 cubs. A less sexy Jon Lester, a much more sexy Miggy Montero and someone is going to be a Dexter Fowler.

I think it makes Cleveland completely incapable of being any good.

FWIW this actually already seems quicker. Machado didn't come to Chicago until like January right?

When do we start saying this thing will be wrapped up in the next few days for three months?

Please God no.
