WhiteSox2023 Posted October 7, 2024 Share Posted October 7, 2024 I wonder if there is still some corruption in play? Maybe not to the level of Dave Wilder but for as few of these DR prospects pan out, it seems like it would be easy to continue the corrupt practices.

That would be impressive with as little money as they spent there. I still would like to know if the spending practice were Paddy not being able to recruit, or Jerry not letting him recruit 12/13/14 year olds, but hey, everything is fine in Baghdad. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kenny had to sign off on every single signing in person, but didn't want to leave Chicago. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WestEddy Posted November 15, 2024 Share Posted November 15, 2024 (edited) https://www.soxon35th.com/white-sox-sign-two-international-free-agents/ Quote Shortstop Juan Berroteran ($150,000) and centerfielder Hendry Alcala ($100,000) have agreed to deals with the organization. The combined $250,000 spent on the duo leaves the White Sox with approximately $740,000 left in their bonus pool for the 2024 period.

Timmy U Posted November 27, 2024 Share Posted November 27, 2024 I gotta say, Paddy sure signed a lot of R/R 3b types who were sort of marginal prospects. Hard to get excited about the latest. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
