  1. at this point hope you can string together a couple nice seasons and help the team. they are god awful enough to watch already, moving on from him completely for a whelming return would be dumb at this point. They should have done a full rebuild last off-season but I think Getz was fully overwhelmed and delusional.

  2. Has Getz started his "we have faith that Grifol will be our guy with a healthy team" presser yet? Because this is going to be the narrative coming soon and it's just so predictable, frustrating and White Sox. I am this close to just quitting this team until Jerry dies. 

     

    I liked Yoan and this sucks. 

  3. This series is going one of 2 ways imo...they sweep Detroit, their pitching looks great and we all collectively go, wtf? or they get swept, have horrible fundamentals that lose basically each game and Grifol bumbles like the idiot he is and we all can write off the team before people even sit in their seats. I am hoping for the former...but the latter gets Pedro fired mid-season and maybe just maybe Jerry will sell before he dies. 

  4. This contract is going to be a big hamstring for the Royals...but Bobby's kids are SET for life. His on field performance hasn't warranted this payday, but the pedigree is there and interesting to see them put so many opt outs to make it all come together.

    Is this the first Pre-Arb deal that hasn't had some type of hometown discount?

  5. If they don't do a puff piece like this...what will you have to talk about? But it's seemingly looking like Cease may NOT be traded...and if Fedde is decent and Soroka can be healthy...sure they can improve off of last years god awful. I am more optimistic than most on this board, so will be fine until the inevitable 5+ game losing streak. Then it's back to complaining.

  6. why is everyone saying 2 years? the sox have him for 4 (they own the club options). if he is healthy, he will play out the contract and Boras will get him a huge bag. that ALWAYS was going to be the deal with him based on health. There is zero reason to trade him now unless they trade Cease and anyone else with a slice of value. like it or not....they need to sell SOME tickets and he is going to be the driver of that until his contract is up.

    That's a great question. Every day with every one of these has been's the Sox are signing shows that JR was lying through his teeth about getting better and competing in 2024.

    This team isn't going anywhere except straight down the toilet.

    And add in the mlb.tv and Internet revenue and there is ZERO chance JR is losing money no matter what the payroll is as long as they don't go into luxury tax. Plus the Bulls continue to have great attendance even with a meh team, so the JR family funds are very good.

    I don’t hate it, but I hate it.  Individually, he’d be a fine 26th man, but as part of a giant collection of 26th men (Lopez, DeJong, Stassi, Tim Hill, Flexen, etc.) it makes me sick to my stomach. Former Royal does not help.  I just pray to God this isn’t a defensive replacement cuz they’re committing to Sheets in right.

    same thoughts here. since it's a minor league deal I can stomach it...but it also is ridiculous that they don't have any no bat, toolsy guys in their own system already for league minimum.
