Once again, I'd like to thank AJ Pollock for declining his player option.
Could be one of the top off season moves for the Sox.

So if a couple people can shut down the forgiveness program with a lawsuit, can I then sue those people for my $10,000?

It opened last week I believe. After the 5 day window after the World Series when free agents could only sign with their former team.
Right on, thanks. I wasn’t sure how long that window was.

So is free agency officially on now?

Is there a way to get my password without having to reset it?

2020 Cleveland basically gave him away because they were furious he went out with Plesac in Chicago, where plesac got covid, lied about it, went on plane with everyone, then got caught lying about all of it. Apparently the whole locker room turned on him and led to the trade.
Nut bag might not have been best insult but yes maybe not the best person to add to the miserable mix that is our locker room.
Oh, yeah, I kinda remember some of that now, but I had completely forgotten about it.

I would love Clevinger at 2/$20M. I think that’s the exact type Of move they need to finish out the starting 5.
Agreed. I really like Clevinger and especially at that price.

Is there really a baseball position player named Outman? That’s funny. Kinda like a golfer named Bogeyman. Now if he was a pitcher, that would be a badass name.

It seems unlikely that he’s going to get more healthy as he gets older and catches more games.
Of course, but didn’t he have some type of surgery last year? With some things time and rest the only way to recover.

Replacing Jose with Vaughn is a bit of a downgrade but I can see clearing the old vet with the young cost-controlled guy. Grifol talking to Grandal leaves me wondering. It seems clear Grandal does not have much left in the tank.
Yeah, I feel like we just have to really hope that Grandal was never fully healthy last year and that he will be next year. The shift ban should help him some.

What did Heyman say? Have the Sox said for sure they are letting Jose walk? Amazes me when a fan base accepts and in some cases wants their best player to take a hike when that means some other teams will bid for the same guy. Considering the Sox track record, if they find five or more other teams thinking about offering Jose or offering Jose, I hope they reverse course and realize it'd be smart to sign the guy. If other teams want Jose ... it's not like Sox scouts have distinguished themselves at all in judging talent. ... It's amazing how Jose's age is a factor. We act like he's ready for social security. He's about to enter his age 36 season. I'd sign him to a two-year deal with a third year club option. At 12 mill a year. ... I know, we have too many DH/1B types. We need Jose to walk so Eloy is DH with Sheets and Vaughn is 1B. I tell u I'd rank the guys in this order of who I want: 1. Eloy. 2. Jose. 3. Vaughn. 4. Sheets. Grandal is the guy u get rid of folks.
I didn’t hear it, but someone tweeted that Heyman said he thought Jose would return on the Score a few days ago.
I don’t believe the Sox have commented on Jose’s situation as of yet.

I think the Sox have made themselves pretty clear on the Jose front.
Yeah, I thought so too, but how does someone like Heyman say that he thinks Jose will be back?
-
Not sure if it was mentioned here, but on the White Sox Talk podcast, Garfien & McGuffey interviewed Grifol and they asked him which players he had spoken with. He listed TA, Liam, Lynn, & Grandal. They perceived the omission of Jose as an indication that he will not be back, though obviously some (Heyman, others?) think he will be.
-
Obviously a change was necessary, and the team definitely needs to hit more home runs. But I also remember when one of the main complaints on this board was the lift and pull approach that so many batters had.

With the offensive struggles, it does make sense they hire an offensive guy.
What about the defensive struggles?

Where is this Konerko talk coming from? Was his name really mentioned somewhere?

Nice. Just because 70% of my posts aren't just yelling out a players name when they do something in a game thread like lot's of others around here shouldn't mean anything as far as trying to interact with you guys
I meant no offense. TWTW is a Hawkism that has been a running joke on here for years. My point was that you have been here long enough to have heard it, but post so infrequently that maybe you haven’t.

I really can't tell if this is a serious question or not.
He’s been here 4.5 years and has 20 posts, so who knows?

That crossed my mind too. Espada may have decided he wanted to stay in Houston to eventually take the reigns there. The Sox could have been impressed by him only to be turned down. It’s just as plausible to me as some of the other Reinsdorfian theories being tossed around.
Of course that’s possible, but whoever it was reported the Sox told him no.
-
Well there goes the theory that a manager hiring can’t be announced before the Series is over.

Joe Espada is a serious candidate for this job. If it ultimately ends up being him, it's going to be awhile. Would he even be hired prior to the GM meetings? Astros are probably going to the World Series.
Not sure if it’s accurate or not, but a while back someone said that any hiring would have to wait until after the World Series to be announced.

This morning it was Getz, yesterday it was Ozzie. I can't keep up with what I am supposed to be upset about.
Rest assured there will be something to be upset about.

Mike Clevinger to Sox per Rosenthal
in Pale Hose Talk
Posted
I would like to see this happen. I’m not sure how many innings to expect from him though. It’s been a while since he’s played a full season.
