Jose Abreu

I'm not sure what this board's obsession is with trading Eloy. He'll be on the White Sox for a long time. Vaughn or Kopech will likely suffice as the centerpiece for Marquez, even with the insane value of his contract. But I don't see the Sox pulling the trigger there.

I see this has already been addressed, but I'll add that you shouldn't listen to whoever is telling you that Harris or Pelosi support socialism. AOC, sure. But the other two are as establishment capitalist as they come

No, I voted third party. I live in Illinois so my presidential vote doesn't matter anyway. The main reason I went was because the local races are up for grabs and important

I wish Biden was as far left as you think, I would've actually voted for him if so

No, because that poster has already been corrected

I wouldn't even say he has done the bolded. Nothing about Joe Biden suggests he's a leftist/socialist, as you said. It almost feels like the Trump campaign expected to run against Bernie Sanders, was surprised when they didn't, and was too lazy to change the gameplan

The name thing is even weirder now after his interview this morning. I really hope he reaches out to them by the end of the week

Thanks for sharing. We're lucky to have Fegan

Second part of that tweet is interesting. I don't think Brantley is a good fit (not sure if he can play RF anymore) and Morton allegedly wants to stay east or retire, but obviously he named them for a reason

I don’t buy his tweets as much as I used to, but that one is just regurgitating what Passan and La Russa said

Isn't it interesting how the ones who lecture you about respect are often the least respectful people you'll ever encounter?

It already has

Also mentions that players are having a tough time getting past his comments on protests. So that's great

For those wondering about the lack of player support on social media, Evan Marshall "liked" this tweet https://twitter.com/emarsh31/likes

And others believe that protesting racial injustice should transcend politics as well. Which brings us back to the original point: forced patriotism at sporting events might not be the best idea

Obviously I think he'll know the roster by the time there are games, but it seemed weird to me that the only player he named in an hour was Tim Anderson

Yes. I think at least one of Lynn, Wainwright (FA), and Yadier Molina (FA) will be on the team next year

One more thing I'll add since I just listened to his conference. TLR mentioned that he places a premium on putting the ball in play, hates striking out, and thinks you still need to "play for one run" (bunt) at times. How do we think he would line up the 2020 Sox? I'd guess: 1. Madrigal 2. Anderson 3. Abreu 4. Moncada 5. Jimenez 6. Encarnacion/McCann (DH) 7. Grandal 8. Robert 9. Mazara/Engel (I would hate this but it seems to match his philosophy better)

Based on his press conference, you just get the idea that he doesn't even know the team that well. I don't mean knowing them personally, I mean literally knowing who is on the roster. Hopefully he gets in contact with them all over the coming days

What if we were supportive of the Abreu deal and dislike the La Russa hiring? I get your point but one is way worse than the other, IMO

Very random but good depth signing

Well if we don’t hire TLR, I’d recommend you learn to like him

Stroman likes a LOT of tweets, you have to scroll a lot. They’re all there
