He costs a pick and he wants 4 years. Hard pass

We should not be signing any free agents that cost us draft picks now that we’ve missed on Machado & Harper.

Never let facts get in the way of a good rant

The Sox have not signed any major free agents for quite some time. If the Sox are to avoid losing fan support and become permanent also-rans to the Cubs, it is imperative that the team sign Dalllas Keuchel who is the single best free agent who is yet unsigned. Just look at the man's stats: https://www.mlb.com/player/dallas-keuchel-572971 He was a 20 game winner as recently as 2015 and his lifetime ERA is 3.66. His career W-L record is 76-63. Add in the fact that he is only 31 years old and it's clear that Dallas Keuchel is the single best pitcher that the Sox could pick up. Given the fact that pitching is the team's weakness, its a vital necessity for the White Sox to contact his agent and sign him right up. What do you guys think?

He couldn't supplement those to form a winner at the MLB level. You or I could have made those trades to get those players... After that he has done nothing to build the organization. The drafts are embarrassing.

Strikes out the side. Well thats a positive no matter who batting. The bar is low!

I don't think Hahn is as horrible as most think. I put the majority of the blame on Kenny and Uncle Jerry. They should both gtfo of the way and let Hahn do his job. If Uncle Jerry thinks of Kenny as his adopted son, I have no problem with Kenny remaining with the org as long as he's not allowed to meddle in baseball decisions anymore. He can have a job as long as it is as an "emeritus" position. Only there to continue collecting a paycheck, as Uncle Jerry promised Kenny's folks back in the 80s that he'd take care of Kenny. Uncle Jerry has been a man of his word and has taken care of KW post playing career because baseball didn't work out for him. That is very admirable and I give JR many kudos for that. I will also say the JR seems like a legitimately decent human being and this is just proof of that, but he does put business and personal generosity in two distinct boxes completely separate from each other. He seems like a ruthless businessman but an otherwise generous person, if that makes any sense to you. It is weird how he runs his teams. If you're a rank and file org worker he treats you like family, but if you're the on the field/court product he treats you like a piece of meat.

All it does is hurt a team with fragile enough young pitching. The corner outfield defense is going to be ridiculously bad.

Except Gomez is also wrong RT @Ken_Rosenthal: The report of the #WhiteSox and Eloy being close on 8-year, $100M deal is both inaccurate and unrealistic. Scott Kingery signed largest contract for a player who had yet to appear in majors - 6 yrs, $24M with 3 club options. Only other such deal: Jonathan Singleton (5 yrs, $10M).

Alonso is going to be a constant reminder of what could have been, isn't he?

I laid it for several stars and them going through the arbitration process resulted in between $50M to $60 in earnings over seven years. $100M for eight seasons would be crazy IMO and an unprecedented extension.

Dallas Keuchel is going to be the next James Shields. Not a chance in hell I'd sign him. There is a reason he doesn't have a contract yet.

The rumored years and money made absolutely no sense so I’m glad it isn’t happening.

"Reporters report facts". Boiiiiiii

Good lord this is great. Please roll with this.

Mike Caruso!

Ha You think anyone cares if your life isn't easy ? Vote ELOY !!

Or...he's just not very good...period.

Also, funny enough, this would be the largest contract ever given out by the Sox.....and it's to a guy who has never played a major league game.
