He was high on my list last offseason before the TLR news broke.  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 ?

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.

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.

And some think they might sign Rodon tonight 

That would be the ultimate 180 degree reversal if those three former White Sox somehow outproduced Cease and Jimenez this year.

They might as well bring back Tepera and flip him again for good measure, although a playoff contender is much more likely.

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?

 

 

TLR is the answer, which means Tony is seemingly is more difficult for him to stomach than the Ricketts Family Circus.

Or the White Sox were never interested.  Or the Cubs simply offered more.   Or all three.

We can't even get on the checked in list.

This week has sucked

Quite possible that our name isn’t getting on the lists because we aren’t interested in any of the players and the ones we are interested in, the market hasn’t picked up on them yet and we’re just not seeing our name because of that very reason?

Market hasn’t picked up because Sox didn’t push for those guys.

For example, Stroman wasn’t looking to sign before the deadline but Cubs accelerated talks and got him.

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.
