Chicago White Sox Posted November 29, 2021 Share Posted November 29, 2021 3 minutes ago, Bob Sacamano said: Running out of front line starters and there are no second baseman like Semien. I just meant he suggested we would be aggressive this offseason. I don’t think the Sox would actually leak the specific targets they are after, which is a bit concerning since there aren’t any other TOR starters left at Ray. Seems like we’ll be going the trade route there unfortunately. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seems like a great moment to sell tickets to all those Sox fans who appreciate us just talking to FAs. Oh we still may hear that they had a seat at the table with Max.

But the good news continues to be that what makes us better can be accomplished in different ways. I’ll be surprised if the starting pitcher hole isn’t plugged by one of the three A’s guys available, and that won’t happen for a few months.

The owner just wants to win at any cost, is worth billions, and doesn’t care what it takes to sign someone he wants. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They need to start adding good positional players. Edited November 29, 2021 by maloney.adam Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unless they are willing to spend over $200-300 million. Maybe Javy Baez but does that really move the needle. I’m not quite sure.

Yeah, I really think we might see Conforto, Kimbrel for Segura + Marchan, and prospects for A’s starter be the bulk of our remaining moves. One thing I didn’t realize is we are dangerously close to the luxury tax under the current CBA ($22.6M below). I could see us pushing a $190M cash payroll, but Jerry paying any sort of luxury tax seems questionable at best. Obviously that threshold could change in the upcoming CBA, but that’s an angle I was never concerned about until now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
