Its obvious that the Dodgers werent going to trade Joc if they couldnt get Betts. Lets not pretend that it would have been a good idea to wait until the Dodgers made a move before looking for RF help. Come on now.

GUYS! I just got a message back and word that I WILL BE SINGING APRIL 16!!!! Thanks all for your help. Probably wouldn't have gotten this far without the information! I owe you all a beer if I ever run into one of you.

He's digging up a very old thread to prove his point again. Which is even more odd. lol

They called Miami "Florida" and spelled Cincinnati wrong...so I think that is your answer.

What a massive overreaction.

I don't know about you, but I think they really, really like Mazara. He hasn't shown much yet but if they unlock his swing and get him hitting fly balls he could be a monster.

Rich Hill and Homer Bailey look better now than they did at the time. Donaldson and Maeda are great adds, and I look forward to our response (which I don't expect to come until next winter)

But it um, hasn't? There's a reason the Bulls defense got worse after WCJ went down. Both sides of the court matter and Sexton isn't near the defender that WCj is and likely never will be. Also let's give MPj more than a few games before your arm gets injured patting yourself on the back about him being what you think he is.

Thanks for being rational. Mazara has a huge ceiling still. Only 24.

Holy crap Luery may actually be better than this guy. What. The. Hell.

I think the twins are gonna regret giving up Graterol

We should all love it.....They just got worse from 2021 forward.

That’s a pretty bad trade for Minnesota.

And some Sox fans need to get the fuck over it.

Wow i think the Twinks botched this one. Thats quite a bit for a pitcher who cant throw more than 150 innings at a 4.00 ERA clip.

What in the F*** kind of report is this?!?

He's been trashing WCJ since he was a rookie last year and was the second best (some might argue the best although I won't go that far) Bulls player (by far the best defender). It's a bit odd.

So is this the hat Manny was wearing last offseason

The correct way to do this would have been to do the baseball swinging guy with the chicago flag coloring him

That literally looks EXACTLY like off brand white sox hat that you would buy at Shipshewana (or another amish flea market) LOLL

Freaking awesome. One Soxtalk jacket coming right up haha

Not sure what to make of this whole scenario...but the Dodgers are significantly better at a very cheap cost. Price will have a renaissance in the NL and Dodgers are the team to beat yet again. Maybe, just maybe they finally win it all. Dodgers most likely will re-sign Betts also...so those dreams (never realistic) are over. had to edit for Moan... Twins are better, 2020 is theirs and honestly 2021 is a whole lot tougher now. This is not a great night for the White Sox.

But we already traded for a RF that they want to give a chance to at a cheaper price and has 2 years of control. What are you missing?

They also didn't have Mookie and Pederson on the roster as a spare part...but go ahead and ignore facts.

Twins probably got better but I think this takes a WC contender in Boston out of the race. Improves our chances.

I've heard that the Dodgers wanted Bummer in return for Joc Pederson. They couldn't match up. Dodgers priorities changed.

well sure but if you replaced Moncada with Holt over Leury does it really matter? Season would probably be fubar anyways. I'd like to see them keep their powder dry and if anything look to bring in more pitching.

Graterol could have pitched 150 innings at a 4.00 era for the twins this year alone. This trade is so strange for them

Why not? Offer more for Joc than the Angels did. Mazara could’ve been moved again. As it stands now, the Sox gave up a better prospect for 2 years of Mazara than the Angels gave up for 1 year of a much better outfielder.

Joc can’t be weighed as something “missed.”

Joc was traded as a salary dump. Lets hope Mazara is good.

I'm scratching my head too. Seems like a desperate win now move.

Also didn’t realize Maeda isn’t a free agent until 2024. Twins must really believe in him and believe he can be a healthy starter. Seems like a tall order, guy always was on the injury list if my memory serves correct. I’d be upset if we traded Cease for him.

I like this deal for all teams involved. Like it for Twins in 2020. Like it for Dodgers in 2020. Like it for Red Sox in 2021. Like it for White Sox in 2021.

How you feeling, Ron?

Give me the Leury Garcia Yoan Moncada hat.

Looking at all 30, the execution of the sox one is hilarious Like they just put it as the default and forgot to go back ("eh, someone'll figure this one out"

It's like someone accidentally forgot to turn a layer off in Photoshop and then made the entire line like that. Absolutely awful. A few of them are cool, but the White Sox one honestly might be the worst of the set

Supposedly Ozuna turned down 3 years 50 million to "bet on himself." Seems pretty dumb but what do I know?

When he squares up on the ball he kills it. Hopefully Menechino can work with him on elevating the ball more.

Seriously. You can definitely argue they are still behind the 8 ball, but at least they have finally "entered the race track" sort of speak.

It’s great that we are starting to catch up to the big boys.

Bring back the 59 (?) red pinstripes as an alt like they had in 15(?). Those were sooooooo good.

The dude got suspended because of his anger. That's not competitiveness, he's just an asshole. How many other coaches in the big ten have been suspended for being an ass? I literally can't think of any other than guys like Bob Knight, who was a great coach and an awful human being. Yesterday, whether wrong or right, is just another example. Illinois' coaches shouldn't have been chirping at him or other Iowa players, but as the HEAD coach, why are you even getting involved? Be above the situation, say good game and move on. Instead, he actually pulls his players off the court (something he has done before in similar situations).

He's a fine coach, doesn't mean he's not a dick too.

Fran is just a miserable crybaby. /thread

Won’t happen. Their best bet is to trade for him and hope to extend him but if he’s traded now he will want 350+
