LDF Posted December 7, 2015 Share Posted December 7, 2015 QUOTE (Dick Allen @ Dec 7, 2015 -> 03:30 PM) When it comes to lack of funds, I dispute everything he says. There is an extensive track record showing he isn't being straight. you are preaching to the choir on ref to funds and profit the sox makes. but having that money or the ability to spend it as we as fans sees it id one things, for the sox org to do it is another.

Steve9347 Posted December 7, 2015 Share Posted December 7, 2015 The moment you "hear" about what the White Sox may be doing, that means they very much won't be doing that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChiSox_Sonix Posted December 7, 2015 Share Posted December 7, 2015 Eh, I wouldn't mind this at the right price. I mean, what are the odds we actually use that comp pick to draft someone who becomes even half the player Upton is? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Y2Jimmy0 Posted December 7, 2015 Share Posted December 7, 2015 QUOTE (LDF @ Dec 7, 2015 -> 08:24 AM) you make a great point. if upton is signed, would the sox loose the 2nd rounder instead of their comp pick?? They would lose the comp pick. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just keep in mind teams aren't going to say we have a boatload of money to spend. thwt would destroy them negotiating and with the public because they would either have to spend that money immediately or be considered cheap just worried about how much they can pocket, you know, like the rest of us.

There is an extensive track record showing he isn't being straight. I think we should know by now that there's always some money available that the Sox don't talk about. In the past, I can remember some of the folks on this board with inside info saying that if the right player was available and they fit what the Sox were trying to do, they could find the money. That being said, I'm not sure that a high-priced OFer would be the type of guy they'd find money for. I think they'd spend elsewhere first.

I mean, what are the odds we actually use that comp pick to draft someone who becomes even half the player Upton is? believe me when i say it is not the comp pick i am concerns with, to be honest the comp pick for upton would be a great trade off. but will that move limit all other move b/c of the so call 20 mil the FO stipulated before???

Wouldn't shock me if we start to hear the Sox are interested in Cueto. Hawk gushed about him last year, saying he'd love to see him on the Sox.
