Jerry isn’t likely to include money because he’s Jerry. Having a beef with Cohen makes it even less likely.

“The Mets inquired about Luis Robert. But for the Mets to surrender prospects, they want money back to offset Robert’s $20M salary and hard-line White Sox owner Jerry Reinsdorf isn’t seen as likely to give money to Steve Cohen’s team.”

Jon Heyman says they aren’t willing to, while Ken Rosenthal says they are willing to.

They don’t even want to give him a chance at injuring himself yet again. Probably the wise play. But Jerry supposedly refusing to pick up any of his salary is a joke.

Anyone who believes this hasn’t been paying attention.

Who needs Dustin May when you can sign Oliver Dunn?

Not yet, unfortunately.

You better wake up from your wet dream. 🤣 You know who still owns the team.

Crochet just finished top 10 in the MLB in WAR. Roman Anthony probably should have been attainable.

Who doesn’t? 💩

Old and bad friends news… Athletics released LHP Jared Shuster. Angels re-signed INF Yolmer Sánchez to a minor league contract with an invitation to spring training. According to Jeff Passan of ESPN, the Rangers have reached an agreement with free agent left-hander Tyler Alexander on a one-year deal.

Billy Ripken says you are all f*** faces…

Of course. Minor league signings and bonus money is a pittance compared to MLB feee agency.

Of course they are. No thank you. We already have our Seager and he isn’t turning 32 when the season starts.

I get it. I was just informing @DoUEvenShift, but he already knows. @DoUEvenPostBogusSoxRumors 🤣

Bartolo’s massive diarrhea hasn’t pulled a legit rumor since the pathetic Chicago foodies were still believed. Bartolo has the same gimmick every time — claim an already shared rumor as his own and then backtrack when it doesn’t happen.

Yeah, this isn’t happening. Definitely not to the Sox. Rogers is making Fairbanks a lot more money this offseason…

The weird thing about these very questionable Getz acquisitions is that he usually already had a better player in the minors. Now you could argue that he doesn’t want to start their arb clocks, but who in their right mind would rather play Capra rather than Baldwin?

Yes, and I literally just learned that right after I started the second season and noticed they changed Spartacus actors so I checked Wikipedia. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Andy_Whitfield Poor guy died of cancer at 39 with a wife and two young children right after the first season. Terrible. And the actor that replaced him sucks in comparison, but the show is still good due to the surrounding characters.

Thank you. A well thought out response. If Getz hits on Paez and/or Alberto, he is the Rule 5 master of pitching. Now he needs to find someone just as good for the position player side, cuz he and Barfield ain’t it.

Once again, you put words in other’s mouths. I never said I was embarrassed that Shane Smith worked out. I will say this now for the third time. Shane Smith was a great move by Getz. But how does any team not already have another starter capable of putting up a 2.3 bWAR like Smith? A Rule 5 draft pick turning out to be your best starter in the same year he was chosen is pretty sad because it means your home grown talent has failed. See Burke and Cannon.

Getzie learned from the best.

A rebuilding team with a GM who has been with the team for several years and was previously in a role of Director of Player Development should have some talent that was ready for the majors by the time he was named full GM. But instead, Chris wound up making bad trades for outfielders like Fletcher and DeLoach which wasted about two years of improving our outfield. Also, I’ll pass on studying and learning from a poster who thinks that the White Sox “developed” 0.0 bWAR Seby Zavala and flaunts it as if it some sort of achievement.
