But in regards to the Tigers I know it sounds dumb but would have maybe forced the Sox to look for a bigger upgrade than let’s say Conforto if DET signed Correa 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flash Posted November 30, 2021 Share Posted November 30, 2021 I hope Chris Taylor is signed. He provides exactly what Ben Zobrist brought to the Cubs...positional versatility and 'grindiness'. It will be interesting to see what Dodgers do now that Seeger has bailed but if I only had one FA from this crop, Taylor would be the guy. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I like Taylor, but what he lacks that Zobrist had was good contact. Taylor would be among our worst in K%, zobrist was a 12-13% k rate guy.

He will be significantly cheaper than Seager so I think he has a good chance to return to the Dodgers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bob Sacamano Posted November 30, 2021 Share Posted November 30, 2021 The good news is we can still sign Conforto. I feel like there should be enough interest to where he signs for over 4 years though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hogan873 Posted November 30, 2021 Share Posted November 30, 2021 Barring a crazy day of signings (which is still possible), there will be plenty of quality free agents hanging in limbo after today. Who knows how long it will be before a new CBA is agreed upon. Guys like Conforto, Castellanos, Freeman, Rizzo, Correa, Story, and a bunch of pitchers will be flying off the shelves once FAs can be signed again. I'd be really surprised if a few of a big ones aren't signed today. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Look at Ray Ray Run Posted November 30, 2021 Share Posted November 30, 2021 (edited) The only thing that likes scraps more than the White Sox is my dog. The White Sox will "wait out" the market and take what no one else wanted. 4D Hahn chess. I guess it's growth after rushing to EATon the Brussel Sprouts thinking other people might prioritize those over all the other fixins!

I guess it's growth after rushing to EATon the Brussel Sprouts thinking other people might prioritize those over all the other fixins! I can already hear Hahn's comments about how they didn't feel they needed to spend a lot since they already have a great core in place and just needed complimentary pieces (after signing Joc, Villar/Iglesias/Hernandez for 2B, the return of Leury, and lesser reliever). 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Romeo_Santiago81 Posted November 30, 2021 Share Posted November 30, 2021 The thread here should be changed to 2022 there was no off-season plan... As a White Sox fan so far being very disappointed Rob Ray was attainable, I do not see any pitching trade prospects that have Cy Young Caliber... is like White Sox are just hoping they get lucky signing a middle tier free agent instead of going for the power move smh let s hope Hahn and Co. really have something up their sleeve because right now off-season has been a failure Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bmags Posted November 30, 2021 Share Posted November 30, 2021 Oh sweet nothin, you ain't got nothin at all no player november sad roster playlist Hold Kimbrel Bundy $9M Dickerson $7M Garcia $6M Kendell Graveman $8M Trade Dallas Keuchel for Robinson Cano & $2M Annually Salary $183M Hahn Quotes: "To be able to add a Hall of Famer like Robinson cano to our lineup was something we couldn't pass up" "We feel like with Hendriks, Kimbrel and Graveman, nobody will want to face our bullpen" "Dickerson gives us good production vs RHP and give us more versatility in our lineup" "Certainly you may have seen what Leury did in the playoffs and all of last year, we didn't want to let a player like that go" "Dylan Bundy we have been tracking for a while, and we think can get him back to his 2020 form. No, we didn't get a 2nd year option, and if he's great we will not extend a QO, because that's not how we operate" You are welcome. 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
soxfan3530 Posted November 30, 2021 Share Posted November 30, 2021 I do wonder if the Sox can get Story on a reasonable deal at this point. His market appears to be drying up and still has Correa in front of him. I have my concerns about him, but he is still a massive upgrade at the position.

He’d be smart to sign somewhere for a year to prove he can play at a high level outside Denver, and then hit free agency again next year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There is no changing the White Sox business model. The Twins could be having the Mets offseason right now and Reinsdorf wouldn't even blink.
