The 2023 White Sox, JFC! Catch the fever!

No, next question.

I'm really sick of cancer. Kick its ass Liam.

You sure can -- Rick Hahn.

who has more career WAR going forward: Kimbrel or Big Dick Nick?

I'm absolutely fine trading Liam. It's the sort of sell high Hahn actually excels at and if we could actually score some fucking runs this year elite closer won't be as important. f*** I'm actually getting some hope up again.

Looking at his batted ball profile, there's some worrying signs. Whatever. He's probably a 2 WAR player. That's better than what we were working with previously.

Better late than never. He's a solid regular. We could use more of those.

The CBA worked, and is working. The deals signed this offseason are being done quickly and without much resistance from the clubs. They know the money train is stopping for nothing, not even "bad contracts" or "luxury tax". Meanwhile the Sox' biggest contract ever handed out in FA remains Grandal. Hard out here for Sox fans.

How hard are we working on it?

Dunn 2.0

Tigers fans I know don't like him. He's like a homeless mans Avi.

They will pull me back in eventually but for now I'm done and it's reflected in my post count here since the trade deadline. Think I've made maybe half a dozen. I really just don't care about this club. I didn't bother to post on it until now but Hahn's comment about how they were projected to runaway with the division so they didn't sign anybody big last year really, and I mean really, pissed me the f*** off. PROJECTIONS LIKE THAT ARE WHEN YOU GO ALL IN YOU ARROGANT f***. STOP TREATING YOUR FANS LIKE IDIOTS.

I think I'm done as an active fan. God speed to those still hanging on. I'm too old for this s%*#.

I speculate he's not signing here.

That's about what you would expect. On paper this is another 84 or so win team.

It's stupid we are where we are with him and the money and the contention window. It's all fubar.

As I said at the time they should have traded him at the deadline. Letting him walk is fine, letting him walk for nothing is stupid.

Makes me sick but he deserves to play on a winner.

Is this the worst first post on any message board in the history of mankind?

I thought so too at first then realized getting away from this s%*# org is probably in his long term benefit.

Judge Smails?

He'll go to LA and put up 2 WAR in 60 games off the bench, book it.

Well you only need to look across the division to Cleveland to see how quickly a "non contending" year can turn into a contending year. I'm not going to write the Sox off in 2023 and neither should anybody else. That said, there is work to be done on the roster to improve our chances. Getting our young guys into more suitable positions defensively and letting them focus on health and their offense is part of that.

A move that should have been made earlier. The poor roster construction has haunted this team for years. Jose shut me up plenty and I still have the ball he signed for me almost a decade ago now down in AZ. So it's bittersweet to see him leave but at least it clears 1B and DH up for younger players.
