Clearly. He should be here, squabbling with other posters about Austin Slater instead.

Good idea. I should do that.

Without a salary cap even the off-season is not very interesting. The high salaries and payrolls ruin the game.  Why even try to add significant  payroll if other teams are just going to blow that amount away and make it a farce. You want Jerry to sell? OK, but that doesn't mean a new owner is going to play a losing game by trying to compete with the big boys. Reportedly there are only 4 teams in on Soto.

Jerry hasn’t even played in the shallow pool the past couole years, and when he did we wound up with Benintendi.  And 5-years, $75 million is only a big signing to a handful of teams, the Sox being one of them.

Think I started here and then went to Twitter after. I still lurk here from time to time, especially in the offseason. Good way to read through rumors all in one place.

You can't compete with Yankees , Dodgers , San Diego etc. by signing one guy at $15 mil/year. The  salary cap is the issue, not the alleged frugality of Jerry Reinsdorf. You can't lay the blame for a broken system at the feet of one owner.

Well, as long as you're popping up: This tweet was hysterical and everyone else can chill.

Ugh. I never wanna hear Austin Slater's name again. He's the definition of 'just another guy' that the White Sox are so in love with giving 400 at bats.

Appreciate it. I know there’s a decent sized contingent of Sox fans who don’t like me but I just do my thing and want to see the team become successful again like everyone else here.
