Bell (26) - .277 / .367 / .569 / wRC+ 135 Abreu (32) - .284 / .330 / .503 / wRC + 117 We need a DH let Bell or Abreu focus on one or the other but Bell would be a massive offensive upgrade at DH.

If the Pirates are serious about trading Josh Bell I’m going all in. Anyone not named Robert, Madrigal, Yoan, TA, Eloy, Kopech, Giolito, Cease would be on the table. https://www.mlbtraderumors.com/2019/11/mlbtr-poll-josh-bells-future.html

Absolutely nothing is happening right now, someone, anyone bring us rumors. This HOF (Konerko) talk and Astros cheating news is old news. Anybody got anything??

I do yes Jerry has the money to spend but won’t

Hahaha yeah they played me I just wanted to hype up this thread. Hoping for JDM, Grandal, Rendon, Wheeler, Betances But highly doubt it happens

👀👀👀 OH BOY

This is spot on, there’s nobody in next year’s free agency class that I want, you use that money for the big guns even though the Sox will just end up finishing in 2nd every time. I don’t want them touching any of the junk next year. And with that being said they’ll overpay for some aging bum next year only to say “hey we spend the money”. They screwed up this offseason and deserve to be destroyed for it. I for one will not forgive them for blowing this offseason.

The Sox are best suited to sit out the rest of free agency. Getting Machado-Harper were gonna determine whether they would make other moves but we all know what happened there... They are best suited looking to trade off guys now.

What I don’t think Jerry understands is that Harper would only improve the organization’s worth, put butts in the seat, make it more marketable, and show fans he’s serious about this. If they truly are out on Bryce which I believe they are then it goes to show everyone they clearly do not value us as fans and only in for the money. The way the negotiations went with Manny was a shit show, to think your future, having his brother in law and good friend here was more valuable than money guaranteed money to the player goes to show you they don’t understand this market.

You’re right, let’s wait for them to tweet pictures of Rick Hahn, Kenny Williams, and Jerry Reinsdorf together...

This is the worst, even though I like Nova, Colome, and Herrera, losing out on Machado to a late bidder was the worst possible outcome.

Well at least we still have funny man Yolmer Sanchez here and the players love playing for Ricky Renteria. Guys this is the lowest I’ve been as a fan that I can remember. The fact that they won’t even bother with Bryce is an embarrassment. Jerry needs to sell the team because this is horseshit and they think that fans will still just show up because they still have prospects, granted I’m excited to see Eloy and the young guys but how can I support a team who doesn’t show the appreciation for the fans. It’s just hard to accept that the Padres who have a better farm system, have 2 guys making over $20 mil, and play in a small market were willing to go above and beyond to build a competitive team. I hope Jerry, Kenny, and Rick get no sleep and this moment haunts them for the rest of their time here. I can’t do it guys

Back to being a fan again..... I hate Jerry Reinsdorf, the fact that we lost out to the Padres, the damn Padres of all teams is an embarrassment. I really hope Jerry, KW, and Rick make a nervous move and just offer the moon to Harper but they won’t because the prospects... they need money down the road for the prospects... I hope Scott Boras shows Sox Twitter and shit even this forum to Jerry. Competitive offer my ass, you guys BLEW IT.

So who is starting the go fund me to throw up a billboard across the Dan Ryan for Jerry to sell the team??

Guys, I apologize, I thought the Sox had this in the bag and stupidly had more faith in this front office and ownership to get this done. I thought they turned a corner and I was fooled. I’m sitting here just as pissed and stunned as you are. I’m not gonna delete the account because it’s a good chat to be apart of.

Remember when we were upset when the Sox didn’t sign Justin Upton, Alex Gordon, or Cespedes??? It’s gonna be a completely different outcome this time 😬

Sox and Lazano are playing hardball but at the end of the day they will come to an agreement and once again... Machado will be playing 3B on opening day for the Chicago White Sox

No

I understand all the pessimism but really other than us fans getting a fix from Sox rumors it’s more beneficial that we not hear them. I guarantee you Hahn and co. are working hard to get this done. The Sox will end up with Manny again it’s just a matter of how much and when it’s announced.

This is Lozano trying to sneak in a few more bucks, Manny does not want to play in San Diego, folks this will get done, I understand the frustration and worries but this separates the men from the boys. Rick and co. know damn well the firestorm that would occur if they don’t pay up. Everyone needs to kick back enjoy the roller coaster ride but come opening day Manny will be on the Sox. I will say this the Padres interest is VERY real but Manny’s interest in San Diego... not so much.

Guys, breathe.... He’s going to the Sox just a question as to how much he’s going to play here for. Rick and co. have been planning for this for 3 years. They’ll seal the deal.

^^^ Manny will be the starting 3B for the White Sox on opening day

If needed, yes. Again they’ve been planning for this offseason for 3 years since they began the rebuild. They aren’t losing their man. Harper not sure yet.
