Except for all the free agents who worked out spectacularly, every single free agent signing was a failure.

I know he classified it as "off-season" but feel like someone like Grichuk should also be mentioned, given he plays the outfield and has been a solid contributor to this team. But he was signed in early May.

It seems every time there are labor issues, thr White Sox go into it looking good, and come out of it disappointing. I hope this time it's different

Newcomb should be in there too though, no?

I heard we sent 2 million for the buyout.

Sox opening day OF, Hays LF, Acuna CF, Pereira RF. Hays only played 12 games and Pereira 27, if they stayed healthy Pereira would have moved to CF and Braden in RF.........Could of, should of, might of.

Yea, this coming offseason is likely going to be hell and will for sure include a ton of “if’s”

All depends on when they agree to a new CBA and set parameters. Plus what JR allows him to do.

OUCH! Guess he wasn’t “fixed” 😆 Will have to look up and see what kind of situation they used him in. Edit: Wasn’t even a leverage situation 😆

And we went into that offseason without expecting anything better than a 3rd place finish… at best. I sure hope his next offseason is better.

Apparently Teel picked up on it during the game and was able to start calling Martins pitches before they were released. He told Martin and Bart, and he threw up some 0s.

LOOOOOOOOOL

Getz off-season FA MLB additions so far: Hays - DFA'ed Seranthony - Given away as if he was worth zero Reese McGuire - Released Fedde - (-.3 fWAR with a 5.4 FIP) Murakami - Obviously great, but a reminder that he fell into their laps Kay - .8 fWAR with a 4.8 FIP (I'd call this a solid signing even though I'm not a fan of Kay's. He's definitely covered some innings and given them a chance to win games.) Our World Class GM that has "earned" the benefit of the doubt!

Nice! Bring it home for us amigo!!

The problem is more the roster slots, versus the players.

A big group of buskers in Ireland sang this as a tribute....very emotional.

Have you already forgotten the sensational Rikuu Nishida? 😄

Giving up on a career .282/.340/.477 against LHP you sunk $6M into for nothing when you struggle against LHP is head scratching to say the least.

DFA’ing two outfielders, including a 25 year old? It’s fairly obvious at this point that Getz ran out of time at the trade deadline and mismanaged the roster. I don’t think this can be denied at this point. He was obviously trying to eliminate the roster crunch by moving Pereira/Hays in some deals before the deadline but failed to do so.

From what I could find he was playing through some injuries this year at times and we are supposedly getting back at 100% health. I really think Fuller will make some adjustments to help him start driving the ball in the air again soon. I’m now at the Forest Gump moment of this thread… “That’s about all I’ve got to say about that.”

So Martin was tipping? Wouldn't surprise me if Red Sox are cheating.

so who do we have if an OF gets hurt? Junior Perez?

Yea, challenges I’m referring to are more so focused on using a wooden bat, facing better pitchers, and carrying the weight of being a number 1.1 pick.

I’m not that bad 😆😆😆 Was very successful in 2010 tech space, made a horrible choice in who I married and had a son with, and she pulled every trick in the “destroy a man” book. Pulled in multiple media syndicates, nonprofits, and a judge gave her everything she wanted on a new California definition in law. My life has been a train wreck for the last ten years.
