AJ'S Cousin Posted January 26, 2021 Share Posted January 26, 2021 Wake up everyone!!! Bauer GONE. Mets making a godfather offer, more than Cole Is making. We missed on Musgrove, Q, Kluber and a few others. Not much left out there. We better hope Kopech, Cease and or Lopez grow up fast. Odorzzi or however you spell hiss name is left out there. Other than that it’s slim pickings. We need to rely on our guys and hope the develop. Maybe this new pitching coach can get these guys going. We still have a big 3 and if a #4 and #5 have to be by Committee so be it. We can still out hit must teams and have the best bullpen in baseball and we will win the central. We just need 5 or 6 innings out of our #4 or #5 starters and we’ll be fine Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All your points on the spot that he goes are correct tho of course. If you had hopes for White Sox, you were delusional 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No way any other team in baseball will give him 37-38 a year. I just don't see it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AJ'S Cousin Posted January 26, 2021 Share Posted January 26, 2021 Agree, Wainwright is an option but I would only do 1 year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's a great pitcher and worth a lot of money, but that would tie up a shit ton of payroll for several years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vilehoopster Posted January 26, 2021 Share Posted January 26, 2021 Merkin, the White Sox reporter said this in answering a fan question: The White Sox aren’t done, but, barring a trade, I’m not sure if there will be any more big-name additions. Now I have noticed that Merkin is pretty much the voice of the Sox front office; that's the way he's appeared to me in the years I've been following his stuff on MLB.com. He's pretty much saying no big signings are going to happen. Whatever might happen will be in a trade. So, I think we can put any talk of signing Bauer or even Cruz to sleep, because it looks like it ain't gonna happen. The trade point scares me. I hope we don't give up too much.

he gone. Posted January 26, 2021 Share Posted January 26, 2021 We were never going to get him, hell, we didn't even talk to him. His desires match up so perfectly with the Dodgers and Mets it was probably likely them all along. Dodgers have done this in the past where they offer more money on a shorter deal. Mets? I mean it's Cohen at the end of the day. What I've liked about the Bauer aspect all along is his ability to accept fewer years for increased pay. If there was ever a time or situation that matched up with Uncle Jerry's philosophy, time frame, and winning window this was it. We didn't even engage ... so let's be serious. Our "maybe Jerry will change and try and chase a championship before he dies and start paying up"? that's never happening - he'll die rich and with a second place team like he prefers. I'll die on the hill that I would've given him 3/125mm or 4/160mm in a heart beat. I think you could've even done it similarly to Scherzer where it's deferred over a bunch of years. Bauer was and is willing to get creative for the chance to win and to hit the all-time high AAV. Having 3 years of Giolito, Bauer, Keuchel + Kopech and Cease and others coming up (assuming you don't resign Lynn if you go big on Bauer) would've been huge. This year alone having a 4 headed monster plus our young guys would make our bullpen management so much easier ... you'd have 4 guys who can go 200ip. Alas, it's all conjecture and words on a page because it was never meant to be. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

YourWhatHurts Posted January 27, 2021 Share Posted January 27, 2021 I'm not even mad that the Sox aren't going to overpay Bauer, but it's absolutely pathetic they can't even put together a legitimate effort for Q, Paxton or Tanaka. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
