Chicago White Sox Posted March 11, 2022 Share Posted March 11, 2022 Just now, SoCalChiSox said: Don't they need to move Kimbrel first for prospects so they can send those kids then to OAK? I thought one was kind of contingent on the other. And RH needs to get Conforto done tonight. 4/80-85 and once Colas is ready you can move Conforto to LF and Eloy to DH. Regarding Kimbrel, I think that’s what Harold was suggesting. Fully agree on Conforto. That needs to be done with 48 hours or we riot. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I completely owe you for getting me reinstated. I'm going to a few games this year so maybe I'll buy you a brewski at the park. Where the hell has Ron been for a while?

Heads22 Posted March 11, 2022 Share Posted March 11, 2022 Expecting the first Sox transaction to be Leury related, maybe a lifetime extension to bridge off of the one from before the lockout 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I feel that instead of actually making a 4 year commitment to Conforto they are going to on like a 1-2 year deal with Castellanos instead, they'll make excuses about how it doesn't matter that he's right handed and that having him and Eloy bookend the corners on defense is actually an "underappreciated" defensive combo. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m certain we’ll start seeing some stuff tonight. I’m guessing most free agents take a day or two, but there have to be some trades coming soon. Whether they involve the Sox who knows.

Didn’t he just opt out or a remaining 3 year deal? Idk why he would take a 1-2 year deal. Nevermind it was 2. Still no way he signs for one or two years.

Yeah, definitely a little nervous about Castellanos. Good player, but Conforto is such a better fit I don’t understand why they wouldn’t prioritize him. For now, I believe logic will prevail and Conforto and will be on the south side soon. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd be beyond pissed if we gave him 3 years...or even 1-2. Just make get a damn LH savage that can actually play the OF. This isn't that hard. We have a monopoly on DH type RH bats already that have no glove value. I'm sick of this crap. If Conforto doesn't come, give Schwarber the 3/60 he was looking for and put him in LF. Bat him 4th behind Robert, Moncada and Eloy and profit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Look at Ray Ray Run Posted March 11, 2022 Share Posted March 11, 2022 (edited) Feels good to watch a bunch of idiots like me arguing over how shitty or not shitty the Sox will manage this off-season when we all know in our heart of hearts, it'll obviously be shitty!

Prolly have to find a cheaper FA or trade option and if that doesn't work, maybe Leury/Engel combo (not good I know). Vaughn and Schwarber at the corners doesn't work. Anyway a legit LHH savage is non negotiable. No more switch hitters that are avg or slightly above vs RHP. I want a legit righty killer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vilehoopster Posted March 11, 2022 Share Posted March 11, 2022 Please explain to me the universal love for Conforto. I just looked him up. He hit .232 with 14 homers last year. He’s a career .255 hitter. Are we so in need of a left-handed bat that we’re excited to get a crappy left-handed bat. I really don’t understand his appeal. Explain it to me. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

caulfield12 Posted March 11, 2022 Share Posted March 11, 2022 With Eloy, you're 75% worried about him injuring Moncada, Anderson and especially Robert. We only have a replacement for one of those positions...because you can't count on Leury to have a repeat season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m here to comfort you and say you shouldn’t worry about the Sox outlaying the largest contract in team history to a LH hitter from the national league who has a .250 career BA, walks a bit, strikes out quite a bit and plays corner OF.

Would love to see, but also one of those "prove it!" moves the Sox haven't distinguished themselves with more than a handful of times the last four decades.
