I dont mind Mazara. Lots of untapped potential. For rebuilds to work you have to hit on some unexpected players. If he works out great, if not then you move on from him in a year. There is lots of talent there with him

Well.......That takes care of this Thread.

I'm asking the following question as a serious question, not being a jerk................. Can someone explain to me how a pitcher is worth $245 million and another one $300 when they will most likely play in about 35-40 games. How is handcuffing your franchise financially worth this type of commitment. I can see it, somewhat, for a position player. Again, I'm just confused on how this is a good investment.

Yeah.....that doesn't make sense. I really think the SOX are not telling anyone anything after last off season and even the Wheeler negotiations.

I think the SOX have learned from past experiences and no way they let the cat out of the bag.

Not being factitious but just very curious......what happened with that deal. I have read all the different narratives but not sure what really happened??

I understand he was very good 2nd half. However, this guy and injuries seem to go hand in hand

I do not trust darvish. He is injury prone and something always seems to be wrong.

Understood. However, I don't know what legitimate MLB RF going to take a one year deal at this point. Someone may if free agency fizzles out but this market does not seem like it's going to fizzle.

?

Haven't we had enough stop gaps: Palka, avi, jay, leury, cordell............ I have no issue with ozuna, pederson, and to a lesser extent castellanos

I respect your opinion. However, anyone who thinks that Castellanos is a better RF'er than Ozuna is misinformed. Ozuna misplayed a few balls last year and they were shown over and over. He was a gold glove outfielder on 2017, that is only 2 years ago. Ozuna has much, much more pop in his bat then Castellanos. I like castellanos but he's a one half wonder. He was not much in Detroit and had one amazing 1/2 of a year. Could it mean that he's figured some things out........sure, however look at some of Ozuna's hard hit metrics and everything tells you that man could absolutely explode at some point. St. Louis is not a hitters park either.....

I disagree. Ozuna at the RATE could be a beast.

Of course he hasn't bruce.....if he sign it will be monday

Nobody in their right mind within the white sox organization is going to confirm to Bruce after what happened last year and with Wheeler. I'm not saying this is going to happen or not happen but let's be realistic......

Great points.

Can someone translate please

Wasnt that the case with Verlander when he left Detroit? Great pitchers dont go away at 30 years old. MadBum has more left and needs a change

Not sure why people are down on Madbum as a pitcher. My concern is how does his demeanor with a team that plays in the new era of baseball fun.

I agree Greg, we may regret trading Collins if we do

Please no......hes not good anymore.

Good. Covey, Yolmer, Banuelos, and a few others to go......

I love what I have seen from Collins of late. I would like to see 500AB's for him next year as a back up catcher. 1st base, and DH

I'm curious to get everybody's take on this guy. Is the real Nick C the guy we saw in Detroit or the guy we have seen with the Cubs. I'm not sure what to make of him. Also, is this a guy that we want to go after and potentially play RF for us? Interested in your thoughts......
