Reality is, we don't know whether Leury will be the starter or not. They can lie through their Twitter mouthpieces now and say he won't be the 2B starter. If things don't go as planned, he will be.

If they did, it is an absolutely monumental fuck up. That's 16m (14m if you count the 2m buyout) on the books that's you thought you'd get rid of. That's a bigly mistake.

Tough to tell. I wouldn't be surprised if there isn't. Harold made it sound obvious there was a market for him and they weren't buying him out because of it. I just don't see why anybody would want him at 16m.

Come join me at the soon-to-be Cubstalk subforum. I already talked with Jason about getting it done. It's much more mellow.

Can you create Cubstalk.com for those of us that are disgusted with this team (because of this offseason and their typical failure to spend on the team) and will be rooting for the Northside next year? Thank you.

Conforto hasn't signed yet bub

Yes way. It's time to hold this team accountable.

If we don't sign Conforto, there's a very strong chance I'm rooting for the Northside next season. This is a fucking joke.

Do you guys think Erika Jayne is innocent?

I never thought I'd say it, but thank god for real housewives. There's always another one of those series for her to watch while I'm binging Bulls/White Sox.

I hope you're ready to tell your wife that all the blogging you have been doing recently is for naught. That won't be pretty.

This might literally have given Ray Ray an aneurysm. Somebody make sure he is ok and his head hasn't exploded.

It's possible they completely misread Kimbrel's market, and that is hamstringing the team. That would be a monumental mistake, but it's possible.

Don't you only believe in NSC?

Harold is the one that gave us hope in the first place. If this offseason doesn't live up to expectations, it's on him.

I'm going to laugh and cry if they get hosed on a Kimbrel deal. It seemed so painfully obvious that buying him out was the right call, yet the White Sox and many here were convinced he had trade value even at 16mil.

I hope this isn't in reference to Kimbrel and the interest in him around the league.

I hope Cohen's brashness and crazy spending ruffles the feathers of other owners. Fuck that guys.

Reinsdorf couldn't bring himself to pay the 2mil buyout for Kimbrel, so they decided to keep him. Sign Graveman. Offseason over.

That's not helpful if targets are getting signed before the CBA, though. They better hope Conforto doesn't get snatched up today.

I never thought the Sox were actually in on Scherzer, so I'm not bummed out. Just please at least get Conforto.

You will be sorely missed.

He's huge, that's all I know

Why the hell did the owners stop Cuban from buying a team? Wasn't it so there wouldn't be a brash owner willing to blow the bank on his team? Exactly what Cohen is doing.
