Yeah.... you got that out of his system last year. Now he's busy talking about how great the division is and all they need to emulate their phones.

He certainly had some time to study the Royals, which is basically a case of being in the right place at the right time to draft Witt, Jr., and spending more than anyone in the division last off season on Wacha/Lugo as well as making the Ragans/A.Chapman trade.  Oh, and having veteran leadership from Salvy Perez (and an outlier of a 2024 season statistically).

Lesson over.

“Opportunity...I wanted to be with a team that felt like — not necessarily appreciate but know what I can do and believe I can contribute on a daily basis and that’s what it felt like here.” Dalbec

"It kind of reminds me a little bit of when I was coming up with Atlanta. We’ll got into spring with 10-12 capable starters fighting for five spots. It’s bringing back that healthy competition. It’s not only going to make me better but it’s going to make everybody better if you just embrace it.”  Bryse Wilson

As long as you’re happy holding him to the deadline.

I think it's scary but I'd rather do that then trade him for pennies

Did they hang up on Getz immediately or just curtly reply "no way!"?

I never thought Cincinnati talks for that serious. As soon as names start to leak, talks are dead.

All he has to have is a decent first half.  Like .775 OPS.  I don’t think that’s crazy.  But I assume you are thinking he will get injured.  That’s the true horrifying risk.

I can't wait until he hits an opening day HR, and we get all of the I TOLD YOU SO posts, only for him to Tuffy Rhodes it.

Exactly. Given what we know about him, I'm guessing he struggles for a portion of the year and plays like 100 games or less. I just don't see the White Sox spending $20 million on him next offseason if he puts up 2 WAR.
