And besides Nightengale, there has literally been nothing connecting Ray to the Sox. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think it is setting up to be some amazing content when he signs with the Dodgers or Angels for less money again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No idea how credible it is though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I also clearly believe more than most in some of the pieces on this team. I'm incredibly high on the current pieces on the team which is why I'd love for them to shove all their chips in the middle and support these guys with an influx of talent to help push them over the top and have a hell of a 2-3 year run of dominance. I'm about as optimistic as it gets for the current roster, which is why this is so enraging that the Sox sit on their hands after not trying for three+ years, not spending a dime, and promising they'd spend when the time came. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Look at Ray Ray Run Posted November 29, 2021 Share Posted November 29, 2021 (edited) 1 minute ago, Baron said: Far cry from 4 years at 180 million. This was right at the level I think most expected, so the narrative that the Sox wouldn't go to that level meant the Sox were never serious about Scherzer; which is fine, honestly. I wouldn't hate the signing, but Scherzer showed some signs of aging last year; especially before the trade to LAD.

Had no idea any of these guys would sign before the deadline. Didn't expect it. We had all their presentations set up for after the New Year - decorated the United Center, the whole nine yards. We had the biggest offers on the table, we just didn't slide them across yet. It hurts. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

With scherzer, assume your AAV is gonna be highest paid. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chicago White Sox Posted November 29, 2021 Share Posted November 29, 2021 Imagine Schwarber being Hahn’s big move and it not happening until the lockout settled. It would be a brutal couple months for Soxtalk. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JR wasn't willing to pay up for Machado or Harper because he was concerned about bad money on the back end. Well, here's the perfect opportunity to sign a HOF caliber player without the risk of a high AAV being dead weight on the payoll for years & years... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Which is why when Harold said he was the Sox’s top target it made some sense. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
