Saufley Posted March 16, 2022 Share Posted March 16, 2022 I can see why the Sox weren't in on that. Nice haul for him. Bryant will have fun there. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Balta1701 Posted March 16, 2022 Author Share Posted March 16, 2022 Mandatory note about how the Rockies' owner nearly got the owners in trouble during the CBA negotiations by claiming large financial losses he couldn't afford. (The union, had they been vindictive enough, could have used that claim made during negotiations as a way to get the Rockies to open their books) 1 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This clown who couldn’t make ends meet running a team, and Tom Ricketts and his epic losses sign Suzuki and is so cash strapped he is trying to buy a soccer team.

There are only 30 ownership groups on the planet. Someone out there can deal with that monetary reality plus the fact the Sox need to relocate to the South Loop and get a piece of that tourism dollar plus the Tri State crowd coming into Union Station. Harold Washington had it all set up for Reinsdorf. He wanted his beloved White Sox to anchor the South Loop. Oh the money that ownership would be raking in now. Harold was a visionary. Reinsdorf, not so much. Edited March 16, 2022 by GradMc Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Look at Ray Ray Run Posted March 16, 2022 Share Posted March 16, 2022 3 minutes ago, ptatc said: Unfortunately the OF market is now set. Yeeesh. Bryant can play 3B too, and I don't see anyone going to 7 years or even 6 for Conforto and Castellanos. Bryant has a larger pedigree and has actually been an MVP before who plays everywhere. He's risky because he's regressed, but I don't consider Conforto or Castellanos all that similar. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All this does say is that "position player deals are at the top of the range expected", which is exactly what one should have concluded based on November and based on the new CBA. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
