After seeing 35 year old Freddy Freeman in this years playoffs, Vaughn no longer meets the eye test. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We have a great manager so give him 2 veteran free agent starters at 15 mill a year; one good reliever to add to our young group of pen candidates for 10 mill a year; add one power hitting outfielder at 15-20 mill a year and add a second baseman with a clue for say, 8 mill a year. Bring up Monte and Echo and u give the manager a chance to pull a Quatraro. Go with Sosa at third I guess unless u wanna spend even more and find a good 3B. All my plan takes is good evaluation of the free agent market and Jerry not wanting to lose 100 again. Name the names. Also you don't have $70 million to spend this year. More like 1/3 to 1/2 of it even if there were the real people to do this with. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kyyle23 Posted November 1 Share Posted November 1 When you wish real hard, don’t care about the minors at all, and repeat “just win baby” with no actual plan…..that’s just a dub. Accept it, everyone 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All my plan takes is good evaluation of the free agent market and Jerry not wanting to lose 100 again. The JUST WIN, BABY system Rookie manager has nothing to learn. Just automatically great. Sign 2 vet free agent starters for $15M / year. Someone like Quintana fits that mold, but why the hell is he coming here over a contender after the way he closed 2024? As of right now, we are simply giving Flexen and Brad Keller pay raises. One good, $10 M reliever - um, at this rate, why are these guys signing with the Sox? Add OF: Who it is, we do not know. Michael Conforto might accept an overpay. Second baseman with clue: We try to lure Iglesias away from the Mets. The fanbase hates having another Cuban player that enjoys singing. Bring up Montgomery before he's ready. Just win, baby! Bring up Echo, who uses her superhero abilities to thrive as the first female baseball player in Major League Baseball. Sosa is not useful at second, but he's good enough at 3rd. We accomplish this by using "good evaluation of the free agent market," something the White Sox are famous for doing. Also Jerry not wanting to lose by spending money, something he is famous for doing. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good manager attracts players if you have some $$. The Royals signed Michael Wacha and Seth Lugo. Both were very good for the Royals in 2024. The Royals made a 30 win improvement over their 2023 record. If the White Sox make a 30 game improvement in 2025, they'll be 71-91. The White Sox also don't have anyone in the same stratosphere of Bobby Witt Jr, who coincidentally was drafted 2nd overall by the Royals, after a season where they are bad and "rebuilding" 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also invested in the minors as far as I know. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ seems like when you actually see a rebuild through to the end there is a light at the end of the tunnel. We saw a sliver of that light, then TLR stood in the way and Jerry said we are done spending real money 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
