whitesoxwinner Posted November 29, 2021 Share Posted November 29, 2021 I have come to the conclusion that the only shot at doing something before the lockout hits is trading kimbrel. From chatter through the grapevine, it sounds like the sox arent giving any competitive offers in free agency at all. They really messed up like harold said. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TomPickle Posted November 29, 2021 Share Posted November 29, 2021 Kyle Nicolas is probably more of a reliever prospect at this point, but he would be among the best pitching prospects in the Sox system. That isn't nothing for a backup catcher. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bmags Posted November 29, 2021 Share Posted November 29, 2021 Like, "at their new AAVs, Seager and Semien would be >50% ($228) of what Texas has spent on payroll over the last 4 years ($410M)" Still impressive and shows how they will be operating at a considerably higher annual budget and doesn't do the stupid taking the lump sum of the contract as if its paid out today.

maloney.adam Posted November 29, 2021 Share Posted November 29, 2021 I bet that all those players don’t sign by the end of the day today which means this will go into the lockout. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree with this, and your point highlights how difficult it'll be for the Sox to make meaningful additions via trade without including pieces off the big league roster. That's why it's so important for them to spend in free agency, but alas.. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
