Dude you can't post a whole copy article like that. You even copied the part that said it was copyrighted at the bottom. Please go back and provide a link and your own commentary
The Astros FO is hiring and would applaud the effort...tho, not publicly of course.

Yeah I'm just being cheeky. I'm very optimistic about this organization and it's future. Fun times ahead!

That sounds like a White Sox trade circa trade deadline 2035
Nah, this is after Trout has announced his coming out of retirement come back party to help Eloy and Yoan have one last chance at winning a WS.

What about that magical game in Boston? This has KW written all over it! Poor Covey!

I don't know about you guys but i got " Mike Trout to White Sox for INTL bonus $ and PTBNL" from that cryptic tweet. Stoney is a sly one.

Can't do opening day but picked up tickets for Wed April 8th vs Mariners and Wed May 20th vs the Rox.

Trade Ricky the rebuilder to Detroit for Gardy. Detroit is a waste for such a good manager.

You leave Jose "Old Man Eloquent" Abreu out of this!
I thought it was Jose "DFA" Abreu?

But what about Kevan Smith?
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.

Don't blame Hahn. He can only work with what Uncle Jerry allows him to work with. We know where the blame lies. This is 100% on Uncle Jerry.
The Sox are screwed until there is new ownership, whenever or however that happens. Until then, we should all realize the Sox are going to operate like the Pirates and hope for the best. We have zero control over it, so make the best of a shitty situation. I just wish that because the Sox were going to operate like a small market team they'd do it like the A's and Rays do. Nope, instead we get Pirates.
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.

It’s not just about Verlander. The current theme is that teams are extending their top players before they hit free agency — Arenado, Trout, Goldschmidt, Sale, Verlander, etc.
Boegarts and Rendon are now the best guys available next offseason if they don’t get extended and they don’t really fit the Sox now with Moncada at 3B, Anderson at SS, and Madrigal expected to take over 2B eventually.
This is why when you have targeted a premier player, you lock the guy up and don’t half-ass around with a team friendly offer like the Sox tried to do. The Sox will not have another shot at a 26 year old stud for $300 to $330 million. They blew it... period.
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?

Whoa, whoa, whoa...
I thought we all agreed it was Magical Madrigal. When did it change to the magician?
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.

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.

They can give him five hundred million dollars in incentives too. That will seal it.
And as a token of good faith by the White Sox there will NOT be a diminished skills clause.
