They are looking for an everyday RF. I got this from Al’s Cheesy Beef’s account and he also tweeted, like he’s been pushing along, it’s either Springer, Jackie Bradley Jr or Pederson. So far nothing from PortillosHamburger today. Edited November 15, 2020 by maloney.adam 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Certainly sir, per your request, I see them signing Joc Pederson on a one year pillow contract with a team option and J.A. Happ on an incentive laden deal, after missing out on several other better, more exciting names for various reasons both monetary and not. And to me, that'd be a damn shame. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No, but was disappointed Portillo's was closed for carry-out when I passed by to use the rest of my gift certificate yesterday (for a combo and free survey fries). For hot dogs, I don't like Vienna. The only places I go these days are Superdawg & Costco. I miss Wally's (Diversey / Central), Nickies/Johns (Addison / Long) and Bowser Dogs (Irving Park near 6 corners) from the Leon's Sausage / Garden on a bun heyday. Like 35th Red Hots for a pregame Polish and Fries. It's the same owner I believe as Red Hot Ranch, which serves fresh burgers (unlike Portillo's frozen patties). Harlo Grill in Melrose Park also has great burgers. 2 hours ago, maloney.adam said: Which free agents do you think the Sox will sign? Usually just wait for Spring Training to start before evaluating the off-season. I posted my preferred off-season "dream wish list", one of which thankfully already occurred (Katz for Cooper). It may be the most important change over the next few years regardless of whether they sign a single FA. Really glad Hahn and Lucas closed the deal. Heading into last season, I liked the Keuchel signing, thought Mazara was an OK low cost gamble, didn't like EE or Grandal signings, thought it hindered current roster construction and wanted $ spent on SP and RF. In the same boat this year (SP / RF + Colome or another closer or solid late inning reliever). I don't expect, or even believe the White Sox need to sign Springer and/or Bauer to be competitive. Wouldn't be upset with either coming, baring a ridiculous overpay, but certainly don't expect it. Mets will likely get Springer, not sure even Bauer knows where he may be headed.

But that would be very underwhelming. I would be very disappointed if that's what we came away with. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That’s very underwhelming. I see them spending a lot more than that or atleast make a splash on a trade along with signing a Pederson and some other backend SP’s for the rotation.

maloney.adam Posted November 15, 2020 Share Posted November 15, 2020 (edited) The guy above asked Al’s Cheesy Beef if the Sox are interested in Alex Wood but Al’s asked Portillos to answer the question because he’s been all over pitching targets.

iWiN4PreP Posted November 15, 2020 Share Posted November 15, 2020 Alex Wood 🤮 Rich Hill 🤮 Drew Smyly 🤮 Rick Porcello 🤮 Why do we always have to suffer which such garbage? Once, can we be involved in a trade/free agency signing that nets us an eltie level player! I understand these are depth pieces and depth is needed, but if we're going depth, there's got to be better choices. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It sounds like all these guys are at the bottom of their list or a backup in case their plans don’t work out. That’s how I read the tweet.

Well James, WSD, Merkin and most of the national media guys are saying the Sox will spend this offseason so I wouldn’t worry. It’s early. This is kind of strange though that Not Steve Cishek tweeted this after Portillos tweeted that he’s not the same person as Al’s Cheesy Beef. He made it sound like he created all three accounts under the same umbrella to save face. Edited November 16, 2020 by maloney.adam Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chicago White Sox Posted November 16, 2020 Share Posted November 16, 2020 The White Sox signed Grandal on 11/21 last year. If they’re planning a similarly aggressive pursuit of Springer, it’s possible we hear something in the next 10 days or before Thanksgiving.

bmags Posted November 16, 2020 Share Posted November 16, 2020 I really thought Boston just tried screwy stuff with porcello in 19 and he’d be ok in 20. Was wrong there. But Sox have done well with ground ballers recently Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

maloney.adam Posted November 16, 2020 Share Posted November 16, 2020 (edited) These guys were quiet all day. They must have been watching the Masters earlier and football.
