So I don't really fault him there. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was his opinion that he would sign here, but he was on the money about the details of the offer. The Sox just screwed it up. Hector can't do anything about that. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Orlando Posted January 22, 2021 Share Posted January 22, 2021 (edited) I’ve always liked Hector and have never understood how people can get one thing right after another and the moment they make a mistake, they are full of crap. It’s always what have you done for me lately I guess. Rosenthal was wrong yesterday so I guess he’s fake too. It’s pretty cool to have a good bat to speculate about.

I think folks tend to forget that information can be 100% right in the moment, but something changes after that.

I love the enthusiasm which is why I want this thread to explode with new posts about it. It's not a trade so we wouldn't get the endless stream of who do we trade for him . But if I had to pick between the Burnes stuff and Cruz I'm more likely to believe Cruz is more attainable. I doubt either one happens. 8 minutes ago, Sleepy Harold said: This is what he tweeted.

The funny thing is that I thought Hector was referring to the Passan article. Not paying attention to Cruz taking batting practice. And since then has had 2 or 3 posts with Cruz and Whitesox or good news coming to whitesox fans! Something is happening. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well you don't have to, but we will. This is probably true but I’ll hold out hope Jerry will do the right thing if it’s only a few more million Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm a big Andrew Vaughn guy, but if we can sign Cruz to a 1 year deal with an option, similar to the EE deal, then I'm totally good with being worried about having too many good hitters in June when Vaughn comes up. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chicago White Sox Posted January 22, 2021 Share Posted January 22, 2021 (edited) So now that the GOAT insider is reporting this, what do we do think possible terms will be? $14M seems about right to me in this market.
