Signing stras at 5/175 would put sox payroll around 113. That should still leave room for other things for a team trying to be competitive. There is no reason this team needs to cap themselves at $120 mill

I don't see any realistic scenario that Straburg signs for 5/$175M if Wheeler is truly approaching Corbin territory.  

edit: and if that is realistic, signing Wheeler for anything over $110M is insane.  Just give it to Strasburg.

Yup, that too because they were “bankrupt”. The moral is that no one knows anything

And Manny wouldn't want to play there because of the tax rates!

Bottom line is you're Chicago, not Kansas City. Get off your ass and get the good ones. Not Plan B-.

Rumors and tidbits similar to the Manny chase last season.  The latest news about the Phillies is concerning, but as others have said it could be a plant from Wheeler's camp trying to get the Sox to up their offer.  I just hope it's over soon.

Wow. Some spicy rumors since last night. If the White Sox end up missing out, I hope it's to the Reds and not the Phillies.

I’m thinking all those rumors and tweets were plants to get the Sox to up there offer. However, if you have the Phillies or the Reds going 6 years, I wouldn’t be disappointed in the Sox backing down. That’s too many years to invest in a pitcher that is injury prone.

Short memories of what?  That signing a catcher for $70 million is our biggest spend ever when over 100 contracts of $100 million have been given out throughout MLB?  Is this kid related to Jerry or Rick?  Gracious, the payroll may be over $100 million this year (only 30 million below the league average).......all hail the big spenders!  Loon
