I disagree with that. The reason why this became news is because IL governement, specifically JB Pritzker, told the Bears they have no intention on discussing this in 2026. They wanted shovels in the ground Spring 2025 at latest. so the Bears are pissed off. I honestly think it’s more 60-40 the Bears are in AH, but 40 is large and looming

This certainly is fun. I do wish they took more of a gamble and went with a little longer deal, because it's going to be hard to retain him if he ends up as good as some people think. Should be fun to watch him regardless. Nice to see the Sox break the mold and beat the rest of the league.

O Hearn might be a better hitter than this guy ultimately, but as a Sox fan, Id much rather have the bigger gamble at this stage.

Get ready boys, because I read the tea leaves again and discovered "Tucker too"

The Red Sox probably woulda liked him on the same contract. He was a sought after dude, just maybe not for $180mil. I wouldn’t have wanted him on a Benintendi contract.

I signed up online so I’ll give them a call on Monday. Thanks everyone!!

Nice gamble, although it does make you pause thar the price is that low especially with the 2027 season up in the air. At the very least, you know if he hits it it could and probably will go

Correct, but he could get ranked when they update. I imagine he will due to name recognition/contract alone. Abreu was ranked after he signed.

I can’t get over how nice that catch and throw were and I’m hoping one thing that comes from Rome going down is it helped get DJ and Caleb in a better place and when everyone gets back, we see another step forward. Caleb still has plenty of warts but even with those warts he’s already pretty good looking and these warts are treatable…he’s going to be a superstar if he keeps putting in the work and partnering with this coaching staff.

That would be my guess, but he also plays RF, so maybe.

Awesome. 2 years is shorter risk for JR and helps the player prove his value for the market. I'm assuming we are out of the running for O'Hearn now?

I don't see any need or urgency to dump the Sox depth like Quero or Sosa. They are still young players and quality depth is important; having good depth is major upgrade from the last 2 seasons. Mead on this team is just silly (still have no idea why Sox protected him). If they must trade, please do so with full diligence: no more mediocre middle relievers and please stop trading for org guys.

Sox will pay out over 40 million after the posting fee.

Only way I’m trading Robert to the Mets is if they’re getting back one of McClean, Tong, Sproat, or Benge. Otherwise hold onto him and let him hit in the new look lineup

But he’s right.

you have a bad attitude

Bingo. You get rid of his salary and see what you can do with that money to add. I don't think many realize how valuable that Reds comp pick is too.

As currently constructed, I think a high leverage reliever is our biggest need. Our expected W-L last year was 70-92, which is 10 games better than we actually finished. Finish stronger in close games, see continued growth from the kids, and get some of the TJS-impacted arms back and we could surprise a bit next year IMO.

White Sox released OF Zach DeLoach.

No

They need a few legit arms to make any kind of run anyway. Robert isn’t going to be the difference between going to playoffs or not. If they can get a comp pick for this draft from Reds or Pirates, with a couple extra pieces, that would be great.

He has to be ranked.

Players generally pick teams they think will try to trade for them, then the player has more control over their situation. They don't pick teams that won't trade for them.

I would bet money we bring Gio back.
