The Sox have room for him. The Phillies, not so much.

Hahn hasn’t shown he is a great GM, but he is a bright guy. To think they just made this trade just  hoping it may move the needle with Machado would be hard to believe. IMO, if this doesn’t work, they should be banned from playing anything but circus music at GRF in 2019.

When you are down and feeling g blue just whistle.

Always look on the bright side of life.

Explain why acquiring a player for one year (the 2020 option vests with 550 PA's, they can take care of that if they want) in a rebuilding year for a fringe prospect is a "debacle." Please. 

Because it’s not helping at all if we just turn around and dump Abreu to save money.

UNLESS THAT MEANS HARPER OR MACHADO.

Biggest point is we are helping the Indians offload even more salary...which opens their competitive window into 2021 and 2022 depending on what they get back for Kluber and who else they can sign.   Their only bad remaining contract is Kipnis, and that’s only for 2019 with a buyout for 2020.

They can sign Abreu after 2019.

Some people are crazy on here. This should make people optimistic.

Read this post, noting the author if you hate this.

This is the White Sox doing literally every thing they can to win this. If they go down, they are going down swinging.  I can't ask anymore of them.

Alonso is a substantially better defender than Abreu.

But yeah, this means Palka has to *gulp*

Haha it would be nice to see a 1B help guys like Timmy and Moncada with the throwing errors though. Machado is already damn good at 3B so I don't worry about him in that regard if he signs here.

Is this really for Call?  Damn.  Alonzo should have been close to free.  I was looking at Call as a future trade piece for somebody good.  

Has t been finalized but that’s the only name I’ve heard.

What's up with raBBit is that he's probably right. Not definitely, but probably. It takes a long time to wash the stink of failure off a team, and this offseason will likely end up showing just how far you can go and still fail.

Sad but true. Why on earth would machado choose us over the yankees? Why would harper choose us over the dodgers? All they have to do is be in the ballpark in terms of $$$ and sox are screwed. Sad but fucking true. Sucks to suck. The rebuild will need to produce multiple world series contendors before we are actually considered for top FAs. Theres a lot of work to do to dig out of the suck hole.
