Isn't Scherzer supposed to be down to the 2 LA teams and the Mets, and the the LA teams wont give him a  3rd year? If this is about money/years, then he's probably going to be a Met.

It still seems crazy to me that Cohen would push a $300M luxury tax payroll, but who the fucks knows at this point.

I'm not saying they have to get both, just one. If they won't even shop at a mid priced store, they're clearly not interested in winning championships. 

We have no idea what their plan is, so going bonkers over every FA that signs elsewhere is going to get old.

Imagine having Cohen as the owner. What a dream. Anybody that says they wouldn't want him as the owner is just a douchebag.

Your guy Harold told us the Sox were going to be in on Scherzer and spend like a big market team.

Kind of running out of options to do any of those things. 

Sox going to end up with Danny Duff, Jonathan Villar, and Eddie Rosario.

I think they’re going to trade for pitching after the lockout is over 

That's the on-the-cheap approach.
And with the #30 farm system, they will either have to trade off of the ML roster, or give 2x the number of prospects as they are currently at their low value. Maybe he can finesse Kimbrel into a starter, but I'm not holding my breath.

Oh, so if a team who was willing to spend got involved the Sox would be out and not act like a big market contending team. Got it... so same old White Sox?

There’s being a big market team and then spending crazy money.  If Mets want to give him 4/180, then no one is topping that.

Just kind of funny everyone wants a major move and then given the Sox history, it’s likely that player underperforms and we all despise him. Conforto is definitely someone that many would easily hate.

Maybe but the nice thing with Conforto is he is here to provide the RHP balance, people wouldn’t need him to be a super star. This team really just needed to balance out some weaknesses, which you can do with brute force like signing a Semien, but there are other ways out of this.

I don’t get why people would hate Conforto, but you’ve said this before.  Care to elaborate?  He’s not the three outcome hitter that Sox typically despises.
