Didn’t realize Michael Kopech was finally hitting FA this year.

True. Impressive to make the final in bball then a few months later football. The school has some talented athletes and Stamos like Q was a great coach.

Gomber, Quantrill, Blackburn, Cobb Marquez, Gonsolin, Miley, DeSclafani - all seem like the realistic and probable options for Getz.

I couldn't agree more with this.

Also, let's not forget that the Ishbias bought the Suns in 2023 - less than 3 years ago. It's not like they've had years and years of spending with poor results.

Also, the Red Sox seem to be collecting minor league catchers Red Sox Acquire Johan Oviedo In Five-Player Trade - MLB Trade Rumors

Blackburn has also been mentioned. Marquez? Gonsolin? Who is/are your realistic target/s?

Mortgage fraud!!! If the Brewers have the season they did, including postseason and increased season ticket sales for 2026 and yet still can't sustain a $136 million payroll...without trading Peralta, just not sure what to say. OFC they have traded both Hader and Devin Williams the last couple of years and survived, losing Adames, etc., but one of those seasons their veteran trades really knocked them back. Some argue that Woodruff taking the QO threw their off season plans off completely, but it's really nuts to trade Peralta and/or Megill, especially with the Cubs and Cards taking steps back.

Actually, I think they have mentioned it, over and over and over. Nobody's pretending they're going after Framber, or Giolito, or even Zack Littell.

When they say looking for another starting pitcher...they don't mention that it's going to be strictly Tier D/E.

This looks like a fake foodie account with a more believable name.

If the VPN is turned off, the Chinese firewall blocks everything on Twitter. If the VPN is turned on, the site turns into a slow crawl and constantly double posts. I'm guessing at that time I couldn't even see the embedded post, so that's why I was responding as if he hadn't signed yet. WestEddy Posted yesterday at 08:04 AM "This guy's name was bandied about as an option for the White Sox, in places." That is all the information that I had to respond to because the VPN was turned off. Unless I am supposed to interpret your post that he a had ALREADY signed because of your use of WAS there.

These guys spend so much money on teams, yet they claim they can’t make any money so they don’t even try to compete, and refuse to sell. Something doesn’t add up. Accounting tricks help them cry poor. Mark Cuban had to say he only made a profit 2 seasons with the Mavs, because that is what the tax returns say and he knows the current administration would love to charge him with something.

I posted it in the thread titled something like "SoxMachine podcast on Free Agent Pitchers". You even responded to my post. I don't really care, I'm just trying to foster any off-season Sox talk. I would suggest that if you want a catch-all Free Agent signing thread, start one and tend to it. I certainly don't run anything here. I just created a couple of strings where I can post any PodCasts or blog articles on the Sox off-season plans.

You already don’t? Lol like I said, you’ve been posting here for the past day lol

Some people just want to find things to complain about. Obviously we all are paid so well for our various posts online lol...

Yes, yes you are. Cuz the White Sox are in Amurica, not China.

Because there is a 14 hour difference. So basically I'm supposed to check SoxTalk every hour and then check MLB Trade Rumors and then double check all the time stamps when it was the third item from the top of the board when I looked at it here this morning on mlbtr???????????????????? Tell me why none of the free agent signings by other teams are not being posted in Diamond Club. Reds ink closer Emilio Pagán, have more work to do on 2026 roster Story by Pat Brennan, Cincinnati Enquirer • 1h

You’ve been posting on Soxtalk in the past day. What does being in china have do with news like 25 hours ago.

Excuse me for sleeping in China when the signing happened.....maybe we should just pin the MLBTradeRumors site at the top of the page and not have any free agent discussions since none will actually involve the White Sox. So all should technically be in Diamond Club...which is a veritable hub of activity these days.

Where is the offseason signing thread????? Everything gets announced all over the place in SoxTalk because almost no one looks at Diamond Club anymore. So shouldn't there be one thread where ALL the FA signing would be updated? 90-95% of them are ending up so read across all these various threads. A couple of people in recent days were speculating about possibly SIGNING Pagan, yet it wasn't significant enough to warrant its own thread because the odds are the White Sox won't sign a "significant" free agent...meaning over $5 million per season for them.

Getz needs to go hard after Matt Shaw if the Cubs are seriously looking to sign Bregman again and move Shaw to a utility role. https://www.nytimes.com/athletic/6862841/2025/12/04/cubs-alex-bregman-free-agent-interest/?source=emp_shared_article

And what does it have to do with the White Sox Offseason Outlook?

We know. Since yesterday
