Hell, let's clear the $20 million line first. LOL

Bob's source is Hector Gomez

Rockies, Dbacks and Giants should just fold at this point.

CY Young award for a 60 game season is not climbing Mt Everest. He's a good pitcher, but I'm not paying him $30 million per season based on very little accomplished at the big league level. This to go along with the baggage (although some want to dismiss the fact that the guy is a fucking weirdo), no thanks. If Terry Francona wanted no part in this act, stay away.

Yeah, kind of glad this clown act isn't happening here. Not that it was ever considered.

Amen. I mean, how delusional do you need to keep being as a fan?

I realize this is yet another thread that has evolved into "fuck the cheap owner, I hope he dies." I will stick to my stand of not being overly upset at how the White Sox spend their money until it comes down to retaining our own talent. That's where I will be holding pitchforks and stones with the rest of you. I don't want to hear Rick Hahn and Reinsdorf cry poor when it's time to pay up for Lucas Giollito. When it's time to re-extend Tim Anderson or any of the other young players we have that have broken out to stars at some point. If we have another bail out like in the 90s of losing our core in McDowell, Fernandez, Alvarez, Ventura all because we didn't want to pay the market on our own guys, I'm going to have a real big issue with that.

By that same measure, the Yankees would be close to $300 million today and everyone else in line the same way. Is that happening? No, I don't think so.

Just like the Angels, the Mets will always find a way to suck. No matter what big ticket they add.

Bob = American Hector

Best possible non White Sox outcome. No AL Team. Not the Dodgers.

Yeah, go ahead and crown their ass.

The money is getting spent folks.

Giollito to at least 2025 would be gold.

But, but, the experts here say he's Lopez #2?

I really hope Lightfoot provides some relief and allows season ticket holders back in the stands. I can't take another season of not being able to enjoy this team in person.

.759 / 2.3 from Moncada ..... that's no bueno. Need superstar status from him. Like .850 / 4.8

*Lynn at $8 million is a bargain. (reason why it cost them Dunning). *They got the best reliever in baseball. *Eaton doesn't do much for me, wish they would have gone with a better power bat option in RF I give this offseason a B- so far. I'd be 100% fine without another acquisition $ being spent if it means a Giolito extension can happen. It's getting very late there and if he's considered a CY candidate, say goodbye to getting him on a reasonable deal to stay here for the long run. Offer him 5 yrs $80-$85 million right now.

It appears this was going to come down to signing a reclamation project of either Rodon, Foltynewicz or Archer. They went with the guy they already have all the tape and records on.

So there goes the $3 million saved from Joc.

I must have missed him being a target.

But you don't get to hold that seat for 40 years if you're not keeping that boardroom happy and making them money.

And he was already not that good to begin with.

So angry. I would never allow myself to be this mad or angry about the Business of White Sox baseball.

Over Pederson? Yes, 100%
