No. For what? Let the kids play.

Ever.

You have to be joking.

Just sell the fucking team.

That’ll make us look even more stupid than we currently look.

The White Sox are going to end up moving. Why can’t Reinsdorf land big time free agents??? Now we’re back to being forgettable.

And it ends with a wimper. Out hearts are broken.

To me, it would be really selfish if Manny signed with the White Sox and demanded he play shortstop. Manny playing 3rd would make the team better and more likely to be in contention. Does he want to play SS more than he wants to win?

I’d bet 800 pages. It’s not happening anything soon.

Right. It’s not Hahn’s money. Jerry is the one approving the offers.

If you’re Moustakas or Keuchel, why would you choose the White Sox over a team like the Padres where it’s warm year around? It would be different if the Sox were on the cusp of winning, but we aren’t there yet. The Sox would have to offer way more money to lure them here. That’s why the whole 7/$175MM scares me. I don’t think the team can afford to lowball anybody.

He needs to retire.

I would say no. I honestly don’t think the guy wants to be here. And no, I don’t have proof... I just think he wants to be on a competitive team.

Like Ozzie said - “We don’t love AJ... we just hate him less than everyone else hates him” ?

McKnight was a welcomed relief from Rongey, who used to be a jerk to the callers. I’m glad he’s gone.

This is exactly what I was thinking. This is a major problem for the White Sox. We’re already second class citizens in the baseball world because of that team up north, and you couple that with 100 loss seasons? It’ll be a hard sell to get free agents here when winning clubs want them too.

Watch him go there and dominate.

Yep.

We keep talking about source this and source that, but isn’t it all pointless if Machado and Harper themselves don’t know what they’re going to do yet? I mean Bryce Harper could wake up tomorrow morning and decide to go back home to the Nationals because that’s what he’s most familiar with. Machado could wake up and decide that he likes being in the playoffs and he wants to be with a contender. This bemoaning and bellyaching is exhausting. I wish they would just make. a. damn. decision.

It sounds like Manny doesn’t want to come here. So be it. Let’s move on.

Yep. Me too.

Why would Harper choose the Phillies over the Nats?

It’s probably because everyone is exhausted. I know I am. By brain is numb on all baseball talk.

Maybe, but that’s a dangerous game to play. Imagine how pissed fans are going to be when their team doesn’t land the coveted free agent.

I think the Brewers are still in the mix for Mad Bum too. It’ll be fun to watch them beat that team from up north which shall not be named on this hallowed message board.
