southsider2k5 Posted December 16, 2014 Share Posted December 16, 2014 QUOTE (SoxPride18 @ Dec 16, 2014 -> 11:10 AM) Wonder if they spend anymore, because if they are already over projected payroll, why not keep going for it? I'm sure the Melky signing will help even more with sales. It'll be interesting to see what Hahn does, even when Hawk hints that he still thinks one or two moves will happen. Yeah, it changes the spending perspective completely. I'd love to know how the phones are ringing right now in the Sox ticket office.

southsider2k5 Posted December 16, 2014 Share Posted December 16, 2014 Paul Sullivan @PWSullivan 2m2 minutes ago Hahn not worried about Cabrera's PED past because he "took ownership" of his mistake and "showed remorse" for it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Doug Padilla @ESPNChiSox 10m10 minutes ago Rick Hahn says that because ticket sales were up after winter meetings moves, Reinsdorf gave approval for Cabrera contract. Goes without saying that the White Sox are headed above what they expected to spend on 2015 payroll. Daryl Van Schouwen @CST_soxvan 12m12 minutes ago Hahn: '2 driving factors. Jerry giving us latitude to aggressively pursue Melky and response we've received from Sox fans so far' Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But in all seriousness, trade Viciedo and possibly Danks, sign Bonifacio and Beachy/Medlan and call it an off season. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That would be the first really bad contract they gave out this winter. I think the Robinson deal is close, the years scare me more than the dollars. But to go to the 7ish years and $200ish million it will take to sign Scherzer is just begging to be a disaster of a deal. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
