Because I want to see the best lineup we can put together. I don't care about saving Jerry some money the next two years. If Joc can be had for nothing, lets make it happen.
I am huge Moncada stan. I think he can become something great. I also think the Sox have the best uniforms (black and white and 83) in the league. I have a gut feeling that Rodon will be injury free this year and we can finally see what we have in him. My optimistic prediction is that the Sox finish 2nd in the Central and have a better record than the Padres .
Hector has a obvious in with someone in the Sox organization. He knew the exact details of the Sox offer to Machado, he knew Castillo's PED suspension and now hes reporting this. He may be a little off but I think he has somewhat proven himself.
I have admittedly paid zero attention to spring training so far. Are there any battles going on for roster spots or are all these bums being handed spots?
Not only that but the fact that all of the Sox mouthpieces quickly flatout said they were not in play for Harper as soon as Manny signed. There was definitely something weird about it. Reinsdorf is also the most likely owner to pull something like that in my opinion.
I think what gets lost in the White Sox offer is that it would have been the biggest contract in Chicago sports history. Bigger than the Cubs, Bulls, Bears..
