They ran into a hot pitcher and the Astros are a bad match for the Sox pitching staff (power staff against the best fast ball hitting team in the leauge). Still to draw wild conclusions on 4 games? To say they are worse is just being dark. I’ve been pretty optimistic this offseason but the true difference maker last year was Rodon being an ace. Once he lost that ability, the team’s playoff chances diminished greatly. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chw42 Posted March 14, 2022 Share Posted March 14, 2022 Blue Jays looking like they have a shot at Freddie Freeman. I'm gonna guess it'll be between them and the Dodgers. Does this mean Vlad Jr. would have to go back to 3B? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And we have no bad contracts on the books. And right now we have a top five payroll...we will b**** about everything. very important piece of this year!

Chicago White Sox Posted March 14, 2022 Share Posted March 14, 2022 Just now, Jack Parkman said: When has it ever not been the Sox MO to plug holes with cheap one year deals for middling players coming off a decent season that may or may not repeat it? We’ve signed three multi-year contracts this offseason, they just so happen to be for a utility guy and two relievers that make $22M combined. With any semblance of a farm system, that money right there covers 2 1/2 years of Conforto. That’s the problem. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To say they are worse is just being dark. Maybe that’s the reason the board is wanting an established veteran star (I am using that term loosely) to be signed to get them over the hump? And how many more chances you’re going to get? You only have this core for 2 more years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
