New Chisox Motto
The new team motto. They are using it in their promos.

New Chisox Motto
If anyone asks: Change The Game. Too much thinking required. Mine would be The Kids Can Pray. Most marketing leaves me clueless right where I started.

Offseason Moves - Grade em'
EE is more apt to fall off than Abreu who has a potential correctable flaw. These guys have never played on a winner so maybe some will rise to the occasion.

Offseason 2019-2020 MLB Catch All Thread
Whatever the detail he does not like the GRF lighting. When you switch TV from a Sox or Cub night game to another the lighting is usually better and brighter esp in the OF. You might recall Zack quit one spring with KC so he has some issues, wish him well. The strobes would give me migraines so I would def avoid that.

Maybe the Rays figured that Matt is a future Todd Ritchie and cut bait.

Sox and Cub have dingy lighting. Zack Greinke did not like it. No strobes for me.

Medeiros & Guerrero Clear Waivers; Outrighted to AAA
Covey is becoming coyote ugli by now. He will kite off in the spring winds I expect. New faces are welcome.

That sounds really old school. You were the kid who walked uphill to and from school. In ten feet of snow.

Hahn is getting all the praise, Theo no longer "Sainted"
I'm down with pops on this one. Boras clients in most cases do not sign extensions because Boras drills it into their heads that they are obligated to drive the market ever-upward as an FA. Bryant is shaping up to be a classic overpay in my view. Some times the employer is punished to set an example unlike with Stras this season. The Cubs cannot afford to extend him so they need some MLB young talent in return. I otherwise do not take sides but you cannot afford to sign everybody with a shiny price tag.

He would miss out on facing Twins pitching.

The soft cap belies the open checkbook theory. You have to be smart with every penny. You end up paying guys not to play like the Red Sox.

Sox Sign Cishek; 1 yr, $5.25 mil + option (6.75, 750k buyout)
Have to be careful walking a righty.

Steve Stone stays in White Sox booth
Ed Farmer status could be shaky from what we saw last year.

Sox wrap up another outstanding move. What an incredible deal. Steve gives up two years of arbitration. Manny Bunuelos is next.

Theo will be fine. The Sox might compete this year and liven up the city rivalry. I would trade Bryant but he is a fan favorite. Give us Q back and we will give you a B and C prospect.

Steve Stone: more bullpen help is coming
Plan Z would be to sign No Va for overflow work in the pen and bring up a couple of 4A guys like Fulmer.

Sounds like that would make them fireable offenses. Luhnow has really been caught up in some ethical challenges so maybe the Patriots will call him. Win at any cost could end up costing too much.

Pitching is the key to the Sox' chances in 2020. The lineup is stacked.
Most of us seem to think of the Mazara move as an educated informed gamble. I expect he has upside we will see.

The exact length of the deal is unknown but includes multi-year mutual vesting options. The Riverdale actress bride also had a tattoo of her betrothed attached to her lower left booty-call region.

Multiple ankle fractures after double heel surgery. Wonder how well he is walkng?

I have a low bar for Rodon. If he can tie his shoes by July it will be a success. The Sox may work an extension with his domestic partner. Dunning would be a nice surprise.

Farewell, Ryan Cordell
So glad you took a stand. Someby has to.

Sox acquire Nomar Mazara for Steele Walker
Sounds like Rangers decided to make room for Willie Calhoun when they traded Mazara. Put up some decent numbers in 83 games. Small built lefty will play LF.

With the new loogy law it's not clear if 13 arms are needed. Have to see how it works out.
