Just going to throw this out there....could you imagine Timmy's bat flip if he hits a walkoff?

36 year old Ervin Santana, coming off of an ERA of 8.03 with a FIP of 7.94 will wind up being paid around $1,370,000 per start by the White Sox. Can't spend $1 if you only have $0.50.

I actually enjoy Jerry having his money lit on fire at this point. It's not like he's going to spend it on legit upgrades anyways so fuck it...burn it all.

Thank god. At least the Sox haven't been shy about DFA'ing guys this year.

You quite honestly waited for his one bad game to say this nonsense, huh? Had it all saved in your phone and you took the opportunity? You sound incredibly stupid. Before today he had 2+ hits in all but like 3 games including a 1.400 OPS but hey he's 0-3 today so Adam Engel should continue to get playing time

Unlike some here I have no problem with this. Gordon Beckham didn't fail because he was rushed. He wasnt good enough. If you're good enough you'll adjust and survive. Baseball is learning this as well.

Cheap on great players, spend like a drunken gambler on the crappy ones.

Nice. Insert gif of shoveling cash into fireplace.

Can someone with twitter tweet that bat flip to Grichuk and ask if that is ok?

Hell of a play by Timmy to score from 1st on that single.

Rushing prospects is now good? White Sox are going to White Sox. Go back to the old way that produced some nice busts. PLEASE SELL THE TEAM JR SO SOMEONE WHO CAN WILL HAVE THE URGENCY TO BRING IN DIFFERENT PEOPLE TO MAKE BASEBALL DECISIONS.

I mean, rolling the dice on Santana wasn't an awful idea. We needed pitching depth. He was hurt most of last year. He pretty good in 16 and 17. Its the fact that they paid him $4.1M. If it was $1M or $1.5M, so what. I mean its not my money. But when you add it up the sum of the $4M here, $8M here, $3M here, and $9M here for a bunch of garbage, its just so head scratching.

I like Timmy's long con of intentionally getting Abreu out so that he could walk it off and bat flip it it.

Holy Crap...That is our leader...Great defense top of 9th,,bomb in the bottom of the 9th...Is that bat flip OK MLB???!!!!

There u go unless they can find a rule that negates it.

Same with Colome please.

McCann gets the green light, Yoan doesn't

Its a 2 run sac fly? Horrible rule. Home run should null and void any garbage like that.

I also hate fans trying to find something to enjoy in this dumpster fire of a season.

McCann got his average up to .362 and OPS over .910

Would you rather have: two 2's, Montgomery, Miller and Mack or a 2 in 2018, 4 in 2019, and a 1, 3 and 4 in 2020? Exactly. Next.

Your new running back is my favorite player I've EVER seen come through Iowa State. I can talk about him for hours. FANTASTIC human being. Hardest worker.

We should have. Becoming more and more clear with each passing game. -0.7 War lol.

Queue up the “see we shoulda waited to extend him” posts. 🤦🏼‍♂️🤦🏼‍♂️🤦🏼‍♂️

Because it is 0-2 and pitchers usually waste at least one pitch. You're baseball stupid if you don't understand that. Just b****ing for the sake of b****ing

When will they enforce the smokeless tobacco ban at games? Jose having a fat lipper and spitting every 5 seconds is not only fucking gross, but it is against the rules.

And that is why there is no game thread, lol.

I will be honest, I posted it to bring attention to those on the board that might have sources. It worked like a charm thanks to Y2Jimmy

Well, it was good while it lasted. Back to the pre-2017 blueprint for success!

Kopech and Cease are so cute. I can't wait until they are both in the rotation.

@fathom next time you share random twitter source bros I'm going to ban you to the shadow realm.

I don’t think the failure to sign Machado was the team being cheap. The Boss was probably more concerned with the length of the contract and being on the hook for guaranteed big bucks

So does this mean Banuelos takes his spot? Probably worth seeing more of what he can do after his last spot start.

Now there is a reference.

My god, what did Santana get paid? $4.3 million total which ultimately equates to $1.4 million a start? Did he ever even throw above 91 mph? Hahn is an absolute joke. I’d love to be his friend though. Maybe he would just give me some money if I asked nicely since he has no problem wasting millions.

Then maybe they should have structured it so a chunk was tied to appearances like Gio’s deal. I doubt anyone was offering a straight $4M given what comparable or even better pitchers got in this market.

Simple answer: poor management.

As long as it doesn't affect our Value Sundays. What a fucked up franchise this is.

Or even given any sort of contract by the White Sox. Just terrible scouting. My goodness.

I wasn't considering value at all, since winning isn't really a thing that matters this year. None of the offseason signings will add anything to the team when it matters. At best they are all zero value. I was looking at just plain dollars. Honestly, I thought it was less than the 4.1, I was thinking he was like 1.5, maybe I switched the numbers in my head. Either way you are right. Waste of money. Terrible signing. Trend more than exception.

Just added to the tab. Him, Alonso and Jay, you are halfway to one of the years they couldn't afford Machado, and that is before investment.

Thread needs to be closed ASAP.

He's a troll
