Teams are focused on free agency. Executives can talk trade during the lockout. Were they in (or thought they were in) on any of the guys that signed?

Bob Sacamano Posted November 30, 2021 Share Posted November 30, 2021 (edited) Yan Gomes to Cubs. 2 years $13 mill. Feel like he’s their starter with a Contreras trade (eventually). Edited November 30, 2021 by Bob Sacamano Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think they are in on Conforto. I've heard that Hahn/Haber misjudged the market and were blindsided a bit by all of the spending. I've always heard that Reinsdorf wanted to wait until after the lockout for anything significant. That would obviously be a mistake. I don't know what's true.

I don't understand what's particularly angsty about pointing out that our in-house options, or re-signing Leury are possibilities. You just pointed out they had a plan for the offseason and were blindsided. If they want to balance some of their issues, 2b has limited options, and Leury is a switch hitter who with a consistent role had success vs righties for once. So if they can't execute on a trade, leury is likely going to be a plus defender and bats switch-handed. This is why adam frazier trade was a normal idea, and you also poo pooed that. There is no white knight at 2b with Semien gone. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They just need to adjust to it and technically they don’t really need to make a splash. There roster is still pretty dangerous as is.

I don't understand the never be enough part of this-- it's not like year after year the Sox are making splash moves-- they've recently become relatively more aggressive, but good teams make themselves better every season, and favorite in the AL central is just not goin to cut it as is. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HOFHurt35 Posted November 30, 2021 Share Posted November 30, 2021 One positive thing from this offseason is the lack of made up shit from "White Sox Insiders." No silly emoji eyes and no silly egg hunts for baby booties. Even Hector Gomez gave up on screwing with our emotions. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bob Sacamano Posted November 30, 2021 Share Posted November 30, 2021 (edited) I can not wait until we have a new owner and move on front the current front office. How many off-seasons have we read that they have misread the market? It's pretty embarrassing.

Sure, I get that, but there were clear deficiencies the Sox showed which led to an incredibly bad first round exit, so I don't see the downside in improving the roster.
