It would surprise me. They're building an 81 win team to maximise profits. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bmags Posted December 2, 2021 Share Posted December 2, 2021 So glad I can finally unfollow Stroman, one of the worst player Twitter follows around. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If Stro goes to the northside that will be a tough pill to swallow. Stroman saying he will never play for TLR because of what he stands for but then turns around and signs with a team owned by the RICKETTS family. What a hypocrite ? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What a hypocrite ? Eh I didn’t put a whole lot of faith in his comments. He knew he wasn’t going to free agency as he took the QO the next day. If the Sox offered the most money, I bet he would have signed here. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

caulfield12 Posted December 2, 2021 Share Posted December 2, 2021 (edited) So now the Cubs have outspent us so far this off-season. Guess that will make for more Twitter entertainment with him and TLR in the same town. And, as usual, that Phillies speculation being out there for weeks and weeks about DD being desperate for Kimbrel and all the ideal packages the White Sox would get back in return...sigh.

They might as well bring back Tepera and flip him again for good measure, although a playoff contender is much more likely. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TomPickle Posted December 2, 2021 Share Posted December 2, 2021 How is it possible that a team other than the White Sox signed someone to a "Basically stay healthy" deal? What is even our identity anymore? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or the Cubs simply offered more. Or all three. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ThatBallHitDeep_WAYBack Posted December 2, 2021 Share Posted December 2, 2021 Stroman is the MLB Odell Beckham. Talent is arguably there but very, very few will take on the circus in the locker room/off the field. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jerksticks Posted December 2, 2021 Share Posted December 2, 2021 Poor Kendall Graveman probably found Soxtalk, thinkin “hey cool let’s check out how pumped these fans are with this roster”. Opens the front door and hears the chorus “we haven’t done jack shit all offseason! Not a damn thing!” Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ahhh so we’re not being aggressive enough. I wonder if that has something to do with JR wanting to wait until the CBA is worked out like has been mentioned on here plenty of times.

They likely also are strongly concerned about the luxury tax level, and they only have $13 million in space right now, if there’s not a big change until next offseason.
