  1. I mean....he's Gavin Sheets. I'm not even a Moose fan, but I'd rather him be on the roster over Gavin Sheets.
  2. Our 7-8-9 will be murderer's row!! Sad to look at, but we knew what it would be this season. I'm giving it until game 15, until one of Moncada-Eloy-Robert is on the IL.
  3. I'd take that deal, from a Sox perspective.
  4. Boy, that is a sexy rendering. I'd definitely travel back up to Chicago to visit that stadium, if it happened.
  5. Sometimes your stuff and makeup are........your stuff and makeup, regardless of your age. I'm just saying, I'm not bothered by moving on from Mena, in the slightest.
  6. Not to mention, the team just got a better version of Mena, in Prelander Berroa. I think we'll be just fine.
  7. Mena has struggled at EVERY SINGLE STOP not named Kannapolis. I'm not losing sleep over moving a kid with his repertoire in favor of a kid who is ready to play the OF for a team that sorely lacks MLB ready OFers.
  8. Love it. Didn't really see Mena getting anywhere fast, and you get a guy who is MLB ready in the OF.
  9. Whatever gets the team away from Generic_Baseball_Stadium_01 I'm all for. Of course, I'm not a Chicagoan, who potentially is footing the bill...
  10. Thanks for your time on the Southside, Luis, and good luck to whatever team you land on next...rest assured, you'll be on another team.
  11. Eloy's contract isn't the issue, Eloy's ability to not injure himself because he is a big oaf, is.
  12. Love that this hopefully closes the door on a Cease to ATL move, I loathed the possibility of that happening.
  13. April and May? This run of absolute ass baseball, will go FAR beyond April and May.
  14. Gracious....Red Sox need pitching so badly, they overpay by that amount? I never keep up with Boston.
  15. Lots of answers potentially out there, to fix the second base issue the White Sox have. Nick Madrigal isn't one of those answers.
  16. That's a rabbit hole you don't want to go down. JR and the stadium/city situation. I'm of the opinion, that New Comiskey is a souless, drab archaic monolith that needs to go asap. But, others don't seem to mind it. I also don't have to figure out the finances for it, so that is a different discussion all together.
  17. Leury is clearly almost 3x the player Shohei is.
  18. "The Dodgers will be paying a combined $79MM to Ohtani and Betts in 2043 when Betts will be 50 years old and Ohtani 48." Guarantee that is a 'that is for the next ownership group to worry about' decision, 100%
  19. I'm making it about ANY organization who cries poor, it just so happens our organization does it with perfection.
  20. This is probably true. Always be the first to capitalize on a gray area, because it will get fixed. The fact that there is no current limit on the amount of money clubs are allowed to defer, well...
  21. Technically, he IS taking less money, because that 680 million will have less value when it gets collected, and with zero interest to boot.
  22. I'm also not crying "Man I can't afford the $50k a year landscaper that my coworker with the $8 million dollar home has." ....and then all the while, stuffing hundreds of thousands of dollars into my own savings.
  23. Are the Rays not capable of doing the exact same thing? Oh, they don't have the same kind of money? Well, that means its no different than any other FA signing. The haves will always do, the have nots will always complain about the haves, and the White Sox/Twins/Pirates/etc will always cry 'woe is me, we can't compete'. Meanwhile, the White Sox organization is valued at 2.05 BILLION dollars. Woe is us, indeed.
  24. For every organization like the Dodgers who find ways to work around the LT, there are organizations like the White Sox, who do almost everything possible to avoid doing the things needed to be competitive. I'll have a hard time ever feeling bad for organizations like the Sox, Pirates, Twins, etc.
