If Bauer signs with us for any amount...we are the WS co-favorites with the Dodgers.

Time for JR to get creative again. 1/$38M deal, $8M paid in 2021, and $30M paid over the next 30 years. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Any chance of signing him if his market is nonexistent and we can work out a one or two year deal? I’m guessing the answer is still no. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

shago Posted January 18, 2021 Share Posted January 18, 2021 Bauer is going to Anaheim people, please... native, can play in-front of like minded people. They can give longest, back-ended contract with AP coming off the books. 5yr, $200+ 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Instead of making a monetary bet, the bettors wage a ban or suspension for a certain length of time. Say the ban bet terms are for a 2 month suspension. The loser of the bet gets banned/suspended for 2 months. However, if the bet was not made in good faith or was completely unfair, the ban bet can be voided. For better or for worse, ban bets are no longer enforced here. I was winning so much. The mods got sick of all my winning and put an end to ban bets. Plus, I started feeling bad for pulverizing poor saps in these ban bets. I'm a lover, not a fighter, and I don't want to see good folks getting banned.

We are team competing for a Championship for the next 4-5 years for sure. Our new pitching coach is very heavy into analytics. Generally speaking our team does a good job of allowing our players to market themselves and we promote that behavior. Tony LaRussa seems like the type of manager, of any manager in baseball, that would be willing to experiment with allowing a pitcher to pitch every 4th day, at least at some point throughout the season. The problem is we have a fairly cheap owner when it comes to pitching, rightfully so, because not many long term pitching, or hitting for that matter, have worked out for the teams. But this is the perfect place for Bauer based on what he has said he is looking for in a team. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

iWiN4PreP Posted January 18, 2021 Share Posted January 18, 2021 Bauer is a workhorse and a hell of a teammate. Can't wait to be rooting for him on Opening day as he takes the mound for our Sox. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NotTrevor Posted January 18, 2021 Share Posted January 18, 2021 Lots of love for Trevor Bauer in this thread. Why should he want to play for the Chicago White Sox? 1 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
