Balta1701 Posted September 14 Share Posted September 14 I always used to do this for Hahn so I might as well do it for the “Bruised girls are best” GM. The correct answer to that question is “Look we know the results of this season aren’t acceptable to our fans or to us. We know it takes time to fix these things. But we owe it to our fans and to the city to take a big step in the right direction next year and some of that will come from Free agency. I can promise you we will sign anyone specific but there are players on the market this offseason who will make us a lot better next year and we expect to compete to sign them.” Even if it’s bullshit, the only reason you declare you’re out on FA in September with a 35 win team and $50 million on the books is to collude with other teams to keep prices down, so that no one uses you as a possible mystery team that you have to bid against. Even the worse than us in ‘23 Royals made a serious move this year helped by some strong signings, with a similar payroll going into the offseason as the White Sox today. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He partially deserves blame for taking advantage of stubborn, gullible old man. Uh oh.

Even the worse than us in ‘23 Royals made a serious move this year helped by some strong signings, with a similar payroll going into the offseason as the White Sox today. But the Sox are missing Witt (MVP1A), Perez (who Maldonado was SUPPOSED to be), Pasquantino, Massey, Fermin, Renfroe, etc. Most importantly, four starters with 125-148 OPS+ numbers in Lugo (FA), Ragans (A.Chapman trade, two previous TJS), Singer (draft) and Wacha (FA) With Crochet gone, the White Sox don't have anything approaching that MLB talent level, just Smith and Schultz and Grant Taylor fever dreams.

Getz has assembled a team magnitudes worse than the rebuilding teams, which were trying to be bad. It's worth remembering that no matter what bullshit Getz or Getz-sycophants say, last September and in the off-season, that dude was talking about trying to aim for a wildcard because of "the elephant in the room" that is how bad the AL Central is. 4 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Balta1701 Posted September 22 Share Posted September 22 11 minutes ago, kitekrazy said: Even wrong on that Not really. The AL central is one of two divisions below .500 as a whole, and several teams are in the wild card race only because they have piled up wins against the below .500 teams (team?) in the division.

And call it what you want notice even on the game day side with all of the changes literally one guy on this offense has had a respectable 2nd half in Benny. Everyone else is still between mediocre and awful. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
