Love how much JR believes in FA spending on bullpen.

Holmes isn't allowed back on the wagon when the Sox are good again.

WSCR and the that Lil piss boy Laurence Holmes and Leila pissing on the singing of Dominguez.

It's the thought that counts.

Ahhhh that’s an extremely good point. Please disregarded my 1000 word post.

Just thought I'd take this opportunity to say with the guidance of the Pope working through the Sox front office we now have a Jedi (Jedixson Paez) , an Angel ( Luisangel Acuna) and a Knight ( Seranthony). Any player names out there that are synonymous with things like faith, hope, love, kindness, forgiveness the Sox can get ?

For point #2, this team is not close to being a contending team. Not close at all. Signing a flip candidate like this, and having it actually get executed, is a major win. It will expedite the second half of your point there.

Define "good." Losing less than 100 games would be an improvement but hardly good. Sox fans will be dancing when Ishbia takes over. Until then? Probably not.

Problem with Gallen and Valdez is that they have the QO attached to them. As much as I’d like to improve the rotation, I don’t think they are in the position to be forfeiting draft picks just yet.

Interesting signing although his walks could be a problem.

Let's be honest. This team is still hot garbage, and will be for the foreseeable future. If you are waiting for the Sox to be good again before you invest, believe me you aren't alone, and you might as well check out for the next couple of years at least. I can give credit to progress, and this is a move that can at least pay a dividend more than filling innings in 2026.

I am just going to s%*# on this because of the process. 1. Again, the idea we had to get rid of Roberts' salary to clear the way to sign a reliever for ten million dollars a year is absurd. 2. Why are we embracing flip candidates? I will get excited when we actually start building a sustainable roster with good players, rather than just signing them to reasonable deals only to trade them away to contending teams. 3. I stil believe that Robert is undervalued here. The truth is find centerfielders who are gold glovers, steal 40 bases and hit 20 home runs a year is very rare. I understand that he will only play 120 games. However, that's his floor. That's not a bad floor for a team that has very few good players on it. 4. I really liked watching Luis. He was exciting to watch. I will miss him and hope he reaches his potential with the Mets.

Good signing Need more quality players but can't be upset with this move

All Getz has to do now is add a good outfielder and a good starting pitcher and this team should be good. White Sox fans will be dancing in the street once this team starts winning games in 2026!!!!

Did we just replace most of Luis Robert's postseason experience :

The writers for the game should be embarrassed for praising any team that is spending less than 100 million dollars.

Absolutely. But they deserve to be rewarded if they are up 1-2 runs. This bullpen needs to be better.

This is 100% accurate. Wild we needed to get to literally the lowest expected payroll before we could spend a whole 10 million dollars on one player.

This is why I am hoping Getz passes on adding a “starting” outfielder. I really don’t want to watch the likes of Conforto wasting Sox at bats.

Development of the Sox own players will mean way more to the team than any of these additions. Everyone is excited over Murakami but the dude could be gone in two years before the Sox ever even make the postseason.

I most excited that its pretty much a team full of young players with something to prove and I don't have to watch a bunch of worthless veterans taking a lot of at bats.

I really like this move. Much moreso if it’s part of a larger strategy to use short term spending to get guys that you can flip for prospects at the deadline. If the Sox are just going to spend a bit more to get back up to where they were pre-Robert trade I’m less enthused but like it. This should be prime spending season on guys with a slow market. I’m hoping Getz is on the phone with Gallen, Suarez, and Frambers agents. Gallen is a great candidate for this especially if the Orioles give Framber what he wants. The Sox need innings and Gallen needs to repair his value. The Sox can give him a high(er)AAV 2-3year deal with a club option for after this year. If hes good you have a moveable asset, if not you cut ties after this season. No contending teams (except maybe my cubs for some reason) want to gamble that Gallens drop off last year was an aberration. They can’t afford the tax commitment or to have a 4.83 ERA pitcher pitching for them all season. Right now he’s projected for 4 years 76M (19M AAV) If you sign him for 3 years 66M (22M AAV) with a 5M opt out after this year you gamble 27M on the chance that a 2 year/44M deal for Gallen is attractive and can net you prospects. If Gallens market is a little more competitive you can slightly front load it to make his 1st year guarantee 30M. If his best offer is 4/75, Gallen would be giving up a guaranteed 35M/3 years if the option was exercised. Hed be a free agent going into the new cap situation and would likely be able to make that money as a depth starter. If he hit, he’d get to go to free agency a year earlier. Gallen finished in the top 5 in the NL CY in 2022 and 2023. He had an ERA+ of 115 in 2024. He hasn’t had a huge Velo drop and is 30 years old. You need innings filled anyway so the actual risk is lowered. Peralta, Cabrera, and Gore are now off the market which should make this year a good year for sellers on SP at the deadline. To me it’s a no brainer but I’m sure Jerry feels differently. Now that the old core is gone the Sox won’t have much they can move at the deadline. If your contention window is still 3-4 years out you need to keep the system stocked for when it’s time to buy. The draft and IFA will help but you can only take so many slices out of that pie before it’s gone. Building through free agency is expensive and not realistic given the current environment where the Dodgers and Mets are willing to match anything. If you want to get potential impact players in trades you have to take risks and there is no better time for a risk than when you have nothing to lose.

Exactly it's how you approach a rebuild. Its like evolution. Enviromental adaptation changes your DNA. There will be strengths along with weaknesses while the guy at the top loses his power. The environment will change again when ownership changes and then the approach will maintain its foundational base while having more money.

Ok.

Do you think younger people call him Mister Bader?
