I thought it was Jose "DFA" Abreu?

Forgot about Smith. Let's trade Madrigal for Smith.

It's obvious Eloy is a bust .Hahn should trade him for Matt Davidson.

LMFAO! I don't see how anyone can argue against Belted being a hall of famer. His defense, bat, longevity and the way he carried himself make it a no brainer.

Yep, funny how people forget JR was involved in the discussions. That doesn't mean Hahn is completely innocent but JR is the bankroll and has the final say. Personally, I feel the Sox ownership and front office underestimated the Padres interest and willingness to pony up the money. That said, I've moved on from it because no amount of complaining will change a thing.

My comment was about Verlander, not the other players. Machado didn't sign with the Sox, get over it.

I don't get the complaints on Verlander. We're there any Sox fans genuinely interested in signing him as a free agent at 37 years old next year?

It has not changed.

Nope, not really even a legit discussion, imho. Look at what Eloy did last year and he has not been called up. No chance or reason for Madrigal to be called up this year.

I don't doubt the Sox want to secure Eloy to a long term contract since they were rumored to have offered him one last year. But let's learn from this past off-season and not believe everything we read.

oh snap!

I went with Moncada, Anderson and Eloy.

Good gawd the level of narcissism in this thread has set an all time high for SoxTalk, lol. Still entertaining to read. As for the Eloy rumor. I don't object to locking him up for many years to come.

I blame WSI.

And as a token of good faith by the White Sox there will NOT be a diminished skills clause.
