I think I’m okay with an Engel / Cordell competition as 4th OF but they better make some serious acquisitions at RF and C or DH.

Mendick and his $500K salary is going to save us a lot of money to spend elsewhere over Yolmer’s $5 to $6 million salary. I love it.

Engel on another hot streak to play games with us and fool us into thinking he is good. ?

Mendick is ending Yolmer’s Sox career and I love it.

Eloy and Moncada. Love it. Anyone think if we signed Puig he would be motivated by his fellow countrymen?

Two meatball pitchers. That’s a lot of pasta to eat in between innings.

I totally agree with you on Joc but he will cost assets and we will only have him for one year before he hits free agency. Which is okay, as long as the price for him isn’t high. I disagree with you on Calhoun and think he would be a disaster of a signing. Look at his numbers over the years and try to find when he last put up an .800+ OPS. If a corner outfielder can’t put up an .800+ OPS or play studly defense, stay the hell away from him. And Calhoun isn’t a cheap version of Ozuna. He’s just a mediocre throwaway corner outfielder. There’s a reason the Angels won’t even attempt to re-sign him. Well, the fact that he’s not very good and that they have Jo Adell.

Madrigal + Cruz as a teammate = Altuve ?

If you recall the rumors from last offseason, the Sox were interested in Cruz as well. Hahn chose poorly twice then — thinking Alonso would help in an acquisition of Machado AND passing on Cruz. https://www.nbcsports.com/chicago/white-sox/patrick-corbin-ja-happ-nelson-cruz-reports-link-white-sox-more-free-agents I’n not quite sure how your post forms any sort of defense for Hahn’s offseason decisions. ?

So what do you guys think? I am now all aboard the Grandal train. $60 to $75 million? Who cares? He will earn his money more than a $150+ million dollar starter. Who can we get at DH or RF that will do this? Grandal and McCann would be an amazing catching duo and would allow Collins to get a game a week at catcher, as well as allow Collins / Grandal / Abreu / McCann to alternate at DH.

I’ll go 27th or 28th. ?

Nice stolen base attempt, bum. Engel almost broke his neck with that pathetic attempt. ?

Eh, does it really matter? He is what he is. A streaky hitter who can play good defense. He’s a fourth outfielder at best but more than likely a AAAA player.

Even the most positive poster in history wants Covey gone! That’s all I need to know. ?

Sign Grandal and a RF. I’m pretty sure the Sox already know Collins is a primary DH/1B and part-time catcher at best. This explains why and how they have used him. Save money on DH by cycling guys through the spot and acquire a good RF. Also, they will then have 2.5 catchers with Grandal, McCann, and Collins. I am liking this idea. Cuz god knows, Hahn will likely sign a bust of a DH if he tries to acquire one. He passed on Nelson Cruz and acquired Alonso.

I truly hope the Sox don’t think Covey is worth retaining and he is just eating innings. He is a meatball waiting to be thrown.

Fine, here’s evidence that at least Abreu can get along with Puig... https://www.mlb.com/news/jose-abreu-yasiel-puig-reunite-as-opponents-in-los-angeles/c-77924930

This is a great idea. You get him on your terms for one year, albeit probably at a slightly higher salary for the year. But if Abreu wants more years, you get a pick. Unfortunately, I think the Sox respect Abreu too much to pigeonhole him like this. It would be a great baseball/business move however.

I don’t remember saying he should be replaced. But I remember talking about how bad he was.

Mitch “I was told not to talk about the Packers game” Trubisky. And Nagy said he never told Mitch not to talk about it. Already looking ridiculous. Another bad outing or two and Bears fans will be calling for him to be benched and wanting to draft a QB high next year.

Zack knows the strike zone better than umpires. I don’t see how he can not be a good hitter unless he can’t catch up with a fastball like Josh Fields.

A front office with a clue would have already cut his ass loose to let Collins and possible Yermin get some playing time. What is the benefit to playing Castillo to his contract conclusion? So you don’t look like you are admitting you made a bad signing? We already know it was a crap signing. Stop trying to save face, Rick...

Because he was already a sunk cost and has been getting pointless at bats over Collins and even Yermin. Considering you want to see Yermin get a shot, it doesn’t make much sense for you to defend HGH Beef Welington.

Man, Lopez is frustrating

Timmay at SS is LOL.
