Not really

At least ‘The right deals’ are ‘Presenting themselves’ prostrate in front of other teams. Good for them.

the Sox being what they are, it's crazy they don't put everything possible into building up the minors, and just keep churning youth

Sorry. It was a jokey joke. Basically the Machado situation where the Sox poison pilled their own offer where the Sox pretended to be big fish and got some publicity and good will. I wouldn’t be surprised if the Sox are allegedly in on everything and everyone. But gosh darnit just fall short.

I am hearing from a source that the Sox actually had the best offer, the A’s should have taken it. Sox offer not what the A’s were asking for however.

Hahn waiting for the right deal to present itself, and will act accordingly. No worries.

Better than Moncada

It took me a long time to shake the idea that I had always bought into...That Jerry may have ownership in the Bulls and White Sox, but baseball is his true love, and he is more focused on the White Sox as a result. He has a real sick relationship with baseball though. That's not love. It's abuse. Best case scenario, he's like Pepé Le Pew. He may 'love' baseball, but not appropriately in order to be a good owner. His loyalty is to his fat, moneyed peers. He could never ever relate to the White Sox fan in the seatd. He has never been able to convince people that he truly believes baseball is a public trust.

An NFL style trade down would be nice in that situation.

Is "The right deal" going to walk through the door and make itself easy? For sure I don't want them to throw their best prospects at a deal for a generic mediocre talent. Not what I'm saying. At the same time, we all know what this means. Money.

“In the end, we’re not going to force it,” Hahn said. “We’re going to wait for the right deals to present themselves and then act accordingly.” Jesus fucking Christ, we aren't you gonna force it? The sense of urgency is reallllllly missing with this people. They do know that this team has a limited window, rigght? The minor league cavalry is not going to arrive year after year or sustain much. Bueller?

Considering his production, why would not Moncada be in this boat first? Realistically they’d be selling low. But “a number of reasons” should make a less productive player more vulnerable than the more productive one.

Do what the ‘Rays would do.

I remember a day when the Sox could have done that. But it would be sacrilege if you’re Chicago.

Aha. So that’s what you were intimating the other day. Not the shakeup we needed however (eyes dart to the left)

Same. Low point. Mostly because this team had high expectations. But the suits failing over and over the last number of years to finish their work is like gut punching every year now. Watching them struggle with this endless trash show parade of stumblebums in the outfield is hard because it’s seemingly their limit of performance. Someone above mentioned how low expectations have gotten because there are people on this forum that are cool with this. Yeah Gallo . Could be worse I guess

It’s shocking how little effort they’re giving right now on the field and off. I had thought they might try and mend fences with the fans a lot more than this. I don’t know how Pedro is going to raise this up.

His reputation seems better than his production

Adam Dunn might

I once saw him scissor kick Angela Landsbury.

Figures this was plan A from the beginning. So Soxy

What does he, strike out 40% of the time now?

Sox fest was cancelled for non-Covid reasons.

Cubs didn’t get in. Alrighty then

The anticipation of this microscopic lotto chance is more exiting than any point of last season.
