I thought they were going to have a chance about 30'secomds before Rosenthals tweet.

 

I have said all along I didn't think the sox will do it. but I sure hope to the baseball demigods that the sox do finish the job.

 

a cf and a sp. for the price of 1 cespy.

 

but 3 yrs..... this should tell a lot of the current state of the sox FO.

The three year/$65 million offer was out there for days.

 

Obviously Hahn wouldn't give an opt out after one year and/or wasn't willing to go up $70-75 million for three years.

 

Maybe they did and he still wanted to stay in NYC, perhap we'll never know other than some vague platitude that our offer was attractive/competitive blah blah.

 

Meanwhile the Mets get another contract year drive and mitigate the long-term risks...not $150 million for six, but that was never realistic anyway.

I wouldn't say meltdown, and I do think the White Sox were smart to not give any of these guys long-term deals.

 

Saying that, it's hard for me to consider the White Sox 'all in' if they don't find a way to further improve the middle of their lineup.

 

Frazier and Lawrie were nice additions and will/should greatly improve the offense, but they still need one more bat in the middle of that lineup to complement those moves.

We started buying and we didn't finish. It's that simple. Losing a pick for a mediocre Dexter Fowler won't complete that. Austin Jackson won't either. Giving up more assets to acquire a washed-up outfielder won't either.

 

Knowing Reinsdorf, we'll announce the signing of Austin Jackson in a few days.

 

Lose out on LeBron, sign Carlos Boozer.

Opt-outs are ruining baseball. Guys are going to be jumping from team to team so often now.

 

It's basically MLB's way of not guaranteeing contracts, kinda like the NFL, except now the players are in control.
