Ways to Improve Guaranteed Rate Field (joke answers only)
A weedtender outfield spot sounds dope. Just not on the 500 level...

2023 MLB offseason signings and rumors thread
Yep. And as several of us have said...Vaughn will outproduce Pito in power numbers over the next 3 years and is cost controlled. The big issue here is that Eloy sucks in the field and so the roster was squeezed. Blame Hahn for that.

Jason Benetti & Steve Stone back - options picked up
At least we get some good news on 35th. Kind of sad that this is what we have to look forward to currently over you know...the team.

Mike Clevinger under investigation for domestic violence
I thought about this deeper. When you scrape for discounts, reclamation projects and small commitments...you get the bottom of the barrel. This whole situation is a product of Jerry Reinsdorf's cheap ass reluctancy to give out big deals and you end up with big pieces of s%*# like Clevinger. Window was never open and won't even unlock until the man behind the curtain croaks.

Grifol told Eloy to get some work in RF
This is what I see here. The only caveat to this is if Colas stinks. then Eloy WILL be starting in RF until he kills himself again.

Mike Clevinger under investigation for domestic violence
Everyone is quick to blame the Sox front office for this...I think the bigger picture here is how awful the MLB truly is. Bauer process played out awful, nearly 2 decades of steroids mishandling, Astros getting a hand slap for admitted cheating – why do any of us love this sport ran by either morons or just plain greed? Gosh I hate this scenario, MLB, the White Sox and MOST importantly that piece of trash human if he is indeed guilty of any allegation here (he is).

FML. well if he is gone...Bauer...step on down to the disfunctional family of cretons

Your 2023 Off-Season Plan
If they actually trade something for Madrigal....this is officially the worst off-season in White Sox history.

I'll take that bet...He wont. But getting the prospects also make minny win this trade. They are better, but that top of the lineup takes a beating without Arraez and when the annual Buxton multi month DL vaca starts

Miami Marlins commence large player exchange with Minnesota Twins. Jasrado Prince Hermis Arrington Chisholm Jr. should be available
Minny has bad pitching. Now they have better pitching. They also dont have a leadoff hitter....and if Buxton misses his annual 1/3 of the season +, they have really weakened their offense. Bold strategy, this could make them the division favorites, or really blow up in their faces if Lopez doesnt translate well in AL.

Bryan Reynolds is the plan all along /sarcasm. Robert...this is your year to stay healthy and shine. IF NOT...Hahn is fucked.
- White Sox avoid arbitration with their 5 eligible players

Carlos Correa is a Twin - 6 yrs $200M
Absolutely. No insurance would definitely be a hangup for many teams. High risk, high reward indeed. If Cohen backed out... it's risky....that dude doesn't GAF about money often

Carlos Correa is a Twin - 6 yrs $200M
Reasonable back end to that deal for Twins...makes me confident that Boras KNOWS his ankle is hanging on a tendon and had NO opt outs. With all this physical history...zero chance this is getting insured as well, correct? What a devastating contract that would be if he gets hurt badly in any of the first 3 years.

Carlos Correa is a Twin - 6 yrs $200M
33.3 mil a season. He helps make them better no doubt...but I wonder how much left they have to spend. Also...isn't it freaking weird that they didn't sign anyone else after he got those high priced contracts that fizzled...almost like they knew his medicals were bad...

Correa to Twins makes too much sense. let that dude rot on a 3rd place team as an albatross that prevents them from getting good pitching.

2nd Base I guess it’s going to be Sosa or Gonzalez?
Unless La Stella's Achilles healed 100%, his career is basically over.

Sox Sign Jake Marisnick to minor league deal, NRI
Oh, Sheets and Eloy is the backup plan...so don't get too excited.

The case for Elvis Andrus @ 2nd Base
Elvis will be the twins starting SS...and help them be awful....and we all rejoice

2023 MLB offseason signings and rumors thread
Segura's deal is 3 years with a 10 million option or 2 mil buyout. Not that great of a deal anymore for his age and declining bat. Roll with the youngins and sign Duvall as RF insurance and power. One of Romy/Sosa/Rodriguez is going to be league average, just hope it doesn't take 2 seasons to figure out whom.

2023 MLB offseason signings and rumors thread
Atlanta and White Sox both have an amazing culture of early contracts that give generational wealth opportunities...but definitely benefits the teams' financial ledgers. Braves difference is that they are much more aggressive in getting the talent in whatever avenue best fixes the roster (Trades, FA overspends, Farm risks), while the Sox are much more conservative in their pursuits and more about just getting "deals" with what they have for JR cost certainty

We're not up there trying to hit singles
Every article about the difference between last year and upcoming is like Fegan taking a giant dump on TLR's head...and I love it. what an absolute disaster we lived through

Carlos Correa is a Twin - 6 yrs $200M
Saw this. Hilarious. And Cohen already publicly commented on the signing so they are stuck with it. Eat s%*# you loud moth billionaire

That was some amazing work by Boras to get that much imo. Totally understandable why Sox locked up Benni

Dodgers gonna cut Trevor Bauer now that he’s reinstated (updated 12/22)
He is a difference maker that could take a competing team over the top, but also f*** Bauer. 100% that Clevinger got a text already trying to test the Sox waters. But zero chance for all the reasons. The only fan base that would accept him is a texas team...because texas.
