I agree with you on a short term deal. I do not want to tie a lot of money and time into RF this off season. I truly believe one of our minor leaguers will step up soon enough (my personal opinion is that person will be Steele Walker). I just knew you wanted more Lefty balance so I thought this Grandal would please you. Time to spend free agent $ on some pitching.

Lillian...since Grandal is a SH....who do you like for RF now?

I too would be shocked if they got rid of Giolito's personal catcher after the year Lucas had.

Nervous about nine figure contracts? Today only...round out your rotation with the uber talented Zack Wheeler for the bargain price of 99.99 mill. Available on flexpay.

100% agree. I wanted them to strike quickly in free agency and they did. If they were to sign Wheeler soon...tremendous.

Thanks, I totally forgot about that. Will your "never" be broken if they sign Wheeler?

Terrific idea...I do like Lawrence Holmes. I think he used to do the bit about Thome's homies on days when the Sox were off and he was doing a nightly show years back.

I was almost looking forward to actually listening to the Score on the way home for once...but f%&$#%^ them. I guess I will try ESPN radio...Waddle isn't too annoying and I will just have to try to stomach Silvy

I need 1 penny more than $100 mill that so that I am correct in my prediction for #5 on the "want to play a game thread"

Oh, great. Another example of the White Sox playing stupid games. They drafted this Collins kid just to use him to recruit Grandal down the road.

I am just waiting for the Sox to blow up my personal never of "The White Sox will never sign someone who has a QO attached to them." Prove me wrong Rick** **but not for Ozuna please

Does this mean we will no longer hear "Cocaine" as a walk up song?

Agreed. I truly enjoyed the WTF moment when my phone alerted me of the Grandal signing. They do better more under the radar...but then again maybe that will be another one for Rick to blow up..."The White Sox will never be seriously linked to a player on twitter and then sign him"

One could argue Moncada>Machado and hopefully we soon see that Madrigal>Yolmer

Well said. I am very excited they got it done quickly. I can't wait to see what's next.

But the water smells funny and I don't know how deep it is.

IMHO, It would be amusing to see Gio Gonzalez actually pitch for the White Sox after trading him away so many times.

Since Grandal was so under the radar, any chance the Sox have put offers on the table for Cole or Strasburg, in addition to Wheeler?

I believe you, I was talking about myself actually. I was convinced he was the answer last year. In retrospect, we are probably better to have lost out on him.

Revisionist history in 3-2-1....I never wanted Machado anyways.

What if you are voted teacher of the year in years 2-4? BTW I love the Soxtalk dedication with how late/early it is over there!!

Is there a 6th year option on that?

I have the memory of a good closer....forget about last offseason...sign Wheeler soon and I will break out in a happy dance. Although this move was so under the radar that I have no clue what they are going to do next. But I am very excited to find out.

Did Rick send over video for Zack Wheeler?

Uncle Jerry heard you wanted a nice birthday present.
