Just own it Jerry spends on his team in normal times when he's contending. He doesn't like to put all of his money in one player, but rather spread it out over 3-4 guys. This is 100% a covid excuse. I b****ed about him being cheap when it came to not signing Harper or Machado. If Jerry wasn't going to give the go ahead to Rick to sign either guy, they should have been up front about that with the fans. That's on Kenny and Rick.

wegner Posted October 2, 2020 Share Posted October 2, 2020 1 minute ago, Chicago White Sox said: I think Kopech only goes if it’s a deal for someone like DeGromm. But given the size of his contract, I’d rather just sign Baeur and keep Kopech for the back of the rotation. Bauer should absolutely be the #1 target this offseason imho. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chicago White Sox Posted October 2, 2020 Share Posted October 2, 2020 1 minute ago, Jack Parkman said: That didn't happen in a world where fans aren't allowed at full capacity, if at all. It wouldn't shock me if they did absolutely nothing but make trades for guys on cheap deals. How much of our revenue comes from fan attendance? And unlike other teams, we don’t have to finance any stadium costs when it’s not being used. That’s a huge benefit for us vs. a lot of clubs.

It's also about the CBA negotiations coming up. Jerry has been known to ratfuck his own team to get what he wants in a CBA during contentious negotiations. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I mean you can set yourself up for this, but none of us know what the financials look like right now, let alone at what the team is going to plan for. I am not hopeful for big spending, but we do have some things working for our favor. We will see. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wegner Posted October 2, 2020 Share Posted October 2, 2020 (edited) With the nice extensions inked for the young core, this team should be in good shape financially to add free agent pieces. Can you imagine what TA would be worth in free agency if we had not extended him previously. Edited October 2, 2020 by wegner Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do actually think he’d rather go to his grave making more money for his peers than winning a World Series? Come on man, you’re better than this!

I'd be skeptical about Quintana getting $10m per year in a normal, non-virus-hammered year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've seen JRs act since day one of his White Sox ownership. All he cares about is making more money. From that standpoint he has been the most successful White Sox owner in the teams history. Other than his financial success he has been a lousy owner. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thxfrthmmrs Posted October 2, 2020 Author Share Posted October 2, 2020 13 hours ago, Chicago White Sox said: Yup, Kopech, Cease, & Dunning need to battle for those final two spots. No way we enter a season with championship ambitions with any of them as our #3 starter. And as good as Dallas was this year, we should try to bump him down a spot as he’s likely to regress next year. I think Keuchel will likely see the biggest regression of everyone on the team. That said, I still see him as a solid 3. If we don’t resign McCann, it may have negatively affect Gio also. SP should definitely be at the top of our shopping list, and we need more than a Quintana unfortunately. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Here are some SPs who got a $10M AAV or close to one the past two offseasons: Tanner Roark: 2/$24M ($12M) Matt Harvey: 1/$11M ($11M) Michael Pineda: 2/$20M ($10M) Rick Porcello: 1/$10M ($10M) Annibal Sanchez: 2/$19M ($9.5M) Kyle Gibson: 3/$28M ($9.3M) Julio Teheran: 1/$9M ($9M) Trevor Cahill: 1/$9M ($9M) You honestly think that in a normal economic environment a left-handed starter who is only one year away from a 3.5 fWAR season would be unable to land a 1/$10M deal?

Homer Bailey put up 2.9 fWAR in 2019 and got $7 million. Wade Miley did 1.4 and 2.0 fWAR and then got 2/$15. Quintana was hurt this year, is trending down, and will be 32 next season. I guess 1 year $10 million someone might do but it's odd to describe a 1 year/$10 million deal as "$10M+ per year", and I could see someone giving him that Miley deal.

I know people really believe this crap, but it is 100% clear that if he only cared about making money, he failed. The money making is in the Pittsburgh model where you collect all of the national and TV money, and then put a minimal payroll on the field.

Y2Jimmy0 Posted October 2, 2020 Share Posted October 2, 2020 I'll guess that it's Marcus Stroman on a 3 year deal so he can hit the market again at some point. 3 years and like $50 million maybe. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Right he will take his "principles" to the grave with him and that's why the vast majority of Sox and Bulls fans in Chicago will celebrate the day when all of that will finally be buried in a hole, despite whatever Soxtalk's programmed opinion on the matter is.

Giolito/Keuchel/Stroman at the top isn’t bad at all. I’d also like Quintana back on a one year deal as an insurance policy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
