As much as I hate the White Sox cheapskate ways, this is not the way to spend money widely. To consider a deal like this, you need more than 1 year of UFA.

Something seems off. I don't see them committing 100 mil to only get one UFA year out of him. Not for a guy that hasn't faced a single pitch in the show yet. It doesn't make sense, and certainly doesn't fit in the mold of what these cheapskates normally do.

Steve Carlton wasn't bad with the Sox. A few too many walks, but he did fine in his 10 starts.

This all is still depressing. Going to be ridiculously hard to win a World Series if these guys are too cheap to pay for premium free agents. Even if many of the prospects pan out (which they havent done so far).

A Mark Cuban would be awesome. The only thing better would of been if we got an owner like him in time for this winter's free agent class. Might not see anything like this again for 10 years.

The Durham Bulls have given out bigger contracts than the White Sox. It's unreal how much this off-season has made me detest our ownership and management. They hoarded money these last few years and decided to stuff it in their pocket instead of spending it as they promised. Jerks.

It seems everyone in the baseball world knew these guys were going for 300+ except the White Sox. Embarrassing. We need to start wearing paper bags over our heads at games.

Can we trade owners with the Phillies?

It's absurd for him to suggest they can't afford ONE high priced player. They still haven't spent more than $68 mil on a free agent. I'm tired of the excuses and coming in 2nd place. Losing offers mean nothing.

Seems a lot of people expect him to bounce back. Bryce Harper is the odds on favorite to win the NL MVP next year at the Westgate in Las Vegas. And he hasn't even signed with an NL team yet.

This is the part I dont like reading: “We’ve got other options inside and outside the organization to get better. That will happen again in terms of pieces that can make us better. “It might not be a 26-year-old coming into free agency with what they have accomplished, but there will be ways to get this team better. " That makes it sounds like it's not going to be Harper. But after the craziness when they blew it on Machado, they probably would refuse to give any inkling they are on him even if they are.

Yeah kind of like Garpax. I'm going to be a pissed off Sox fan if/when he signs with another team. I wonder how ticket sales have been the last couple weeks....

Same. I said I was on the fence with him, leaning towards he's alright...going in to this off-season. Unless they sign Bryce Harper, to me he is permanently cementing his legacy as a cheapass.

One big free agent signing for the first time in 23 years is really asking that much?

Jerry should sell the team if he wont spend any money. This is ridiculous.
