Chicago White Sox

That was decades ago and no one is leaving the potential of a top three market.

The worst part is Jerry is only 84, knowing our luck we’ll be stuck with him for 16 more years.

No offense, be this is just stupid. No one is leaving Chicago for Montreal or Portland and the MLB would never allow it.

I’m pretty sure the Sox have fed Nightengale plenty of garbage in the past, but this time it does feel legit.

What exactly is Beef suggesting here?

Honestly, it’s so hard being a Sox fan because I’d love nothing more than for Jerry to never see another playoff team in his lifetime, but obviously not at the expense of the players and is Sox fans. Just sucks having such a shitty owner atop the organization you love.

And acting like $54M over four years is this massive number is beyond laughable. I’m fucking appalled at guys like Nightengale & Sullivan carrying the water for this cheap fuck.

And there it is...I can’t wait for the day Jerry is long gone.

100% agree.

Pretty ridiculous if true, but par for the course.

Where did you come up with that $25M? I’m sure their bear writer speculated much less.

?...definitely seems like agents baiting the Twins front office here. Also, that’s the exact lineup I posted when this rumor first appeared. In the tiny chance we get him, is that pretty much the consensus on what the lineup should look like?

I think we add someone like Wainwright on a 1/$6M deal and that’s our offseason other than some NRIs.

I have zero optimism that we’re adding anything of significance after Stone’s ridiculous “be thankful for what you have” tweet. Unfortunately, Jerry is a cheap fuck and ain’t going to take any chances in the wake of COVID.

I don’t know if they’re done or waiting on bargains or working trades, but it’s scary watching the market quickly thin out.

Which is why I’m not against a Nomar addition. We could use a left-handed corner OF bat with power to fill in when Eloy or Eaton are injured. Personally, I’d rather have a player like that and get rid one of our other reserves. IMO, Leury & Engel are somewhat redundant unless you plan on using Leury a lot more in the IF.

I’m one of Cease’s biggest fans, but a team with serious contention hopes would enter the season with Dylan as the #5 given all his uncertainty. Instead right now he’s our #4 and Lopez is our #5 and that’s not a risk worth taking even if you think Kopech will be ready early on.

Totally agree. And while I truly believe Cooper was a problem and there should be some hanging fruit, Katz isn’t going to be able to fix everyone and especially not in one offseason. As much as I’d love another star, I’d be content with more depth as long as we’re talking about decent players and not guys who will be DFAed come June.

I love the Lynn move, but we’re on injury away from Cease being our #3 starter. That’s a problem and something that needs to be addressed.

First Stone, now James...time to set off the panic ?

Yup, classic White Sox half assing it. At least we have a ton of talent and should still be really good, but the window is definitely going to be shortened when they decide to make Crochet a reliever full time and when they have to trade to fill holes at the deadline.

How is not an underwhelming offseason? I’m definitely happy with those two moves, but we still have a below average payroll while rocking a reclamation project in RF, a kid with 245 minor league plate appearances at DH, and a ton of uncertainty at the back of our rotation. That doesn’t mean we shouldn’t be a good team next year, it’s just frustrating we aren’t going all out during the first year of our competitive window.

He gave my five year old son free food coupons at SoxFest one year which was pretty cool, but dude is definitely a prick on the internet.

Jerry already got his award for best owner of the offseason from Sullivan, so why spend now?
