Offseason Part 2 - Lets the Rumors & Action Begin
SoCalChiSox replied to Chisoxfn's topic in Pale Hose Talk
I have seen some articles where they appear to be legit giddy about him. There's prolly some fluff in there but we dont even see some fluff about Cespedes. I think he starts in High A but he could move fast if his power translates into games. In their eyes, a one year Joc/Rosario thing is a win/win. It preserves flexibility for the potential for Colas to be ready and it's cheap. I think the odds of Joc/Rosario is probably significantly greater than 50% at this point. They misallocated resources, and are seemingly unable to dump bad contracts on others so they are stuck. -

Wow. ..they totally are locking down spending now. This fucking POS organization blew your wad all on scrubs and 50 relievers and can't address your real needs and then in October they will act baffled as to why they get wrecked. Again. These people are scum. -

Lillian is preaching to the choir here. The need for not just a LH bat but a savage LH bat is overwhelming. They aren't going to do dick in the playoffs without at least a couple true LH savages. No...not switch hitters that are somewhat above 800 OPS against righties. Actual savages. Conforto is necessary but not sufficient. In an ideal world they would sign both Conforto and Schwarber but ofcourse they are too busy wasting money on Tony's unhealthy obsession with relievers and scrubs, and have too many bat only players already and are too cheap to meaningfully address the need. -

Which deal is he closer on....SP or RF? -

I think the issue may be more with opt outs. Conforto was in line for a 150m deal before he had a bad year. Boras wants to preserve the ability to get out of a cheaper deal if he bounces back. I dont think we will agree to that unless we get an opt out too and Boras won't agree to that. -

If I were Scott Merkin, I'd be pissed that the club isn't sticking to its side of the bargain. The way this transactional relationship is supposed to work is that he makes excuses for them, butters them up, sucks them off and finds creative ways to twist himself into a pretzel in order to justify all their moves and in exchange for him constantly putting lipstick on a pig he is supposed to get some scoops, but I don't see Merkin getting that many scoops. -

But what's the point if they aren't going to use the savings in a meaningful* way? *And by meaningful, I mean using it in a way other that stuffing JRs pocket or spending it on multiple scrubs instead of one legit good player. -

I think if they ate about 5-6m, they would get a decent return. -

Jimmy give us something to nibble on. The angst and agitation is growing. What's going on re Conforto, Schwarber and SP? -

Better be gamesmanship w/agents and not JR deciding to turn off the spigot because he would rather swim in his money like Scrooge McDuck. -

Yep, I feel the odds of 1 yr Joc deal are rising exponentially and we can play a drinking game for the RH presser based on how many times Oscar Colas is mentioned. -

Yep....this is bad. I feel we are unable or unwilling to compete in this market. Suzuki getting 70m is a horrible sign for where Conforto's market will end up. -

I'm trying to stay positive, but I also remember Chicago strutting like they were George ****in Jefferson on Machado only to have Preller wipe his dick right across their helpless faces as they scrambled to create a BS counter narrative to try and keep people from grabbing pitchforks and torches. -
This sounds to me like a PR ploy against agents. "We're perfectly fine playing these guys in the OF if need be, no really we are"

Even after he returns doesn't it take awhile before the strength in the wrist actually gets back to 100%? -

Why waste money on a savage when JR can take that cash with him to his grave instead?
