The guy blew 3 of his 7 opportunities! If that rajah Davis homer held up we’re talking about a disaster trade.

If Eloy doesn't play himself into the HR derby he is a BUST.

If I know anything about the White Sox fanbase, there isn't a ton of overlap with the Reddit demo

?

I wouldn't be so sure that they just chose not to render big ass windows.

The population of the entire state of Missouri is 4 million less people than the Chicago metro. The people in arkansas or wherever don't meaningfully contribute to the Cardinals bottom line.

Yeah I was going to say once you get west of like Alsip it gets pretty tight.

Mt. Greenwood, Canaryville, Midway, Beverly, Morgan Park, Pilsen, East Side, Hegewisch to name a few. Edit: Add in Oak Lawn, Blue Island, EP because they might as well be the city too.

How could they possibly make do without the guy who saved 58% of his opportunities.

Yes, nobody else could have put up a 3.54 and 3.86 ERA in the last two series of the postseason.

That's quite the assumption. And Eloy and Cease have zero to do with that anyway.

Because they've been horrible for a decade.

They prooooooobably wouldn't be projecting to be a .500 team

Agree to disagree

I'd buy Chicago proper, but absolutely no shot on the suburbs. Even still, they have more fans than most.

That will always be a bad trade, I don't care that they got bailed out by a rain delay.

Good lord, the Cubs are not signing either of them and we have known this for 3 months. And Manny Machado isn't taking a one year deal to chase hypotheticals.

Aaaaaaaand that's how get agents to never negotiate with you again

They have 130 million committed according to spotrac. Also Hamels needs to be replaced and they don't have a young arm to do it.

That's a Sox perception problem, not a South Side problem.

Plenty of people want to come to Chicago. The South Side part is completely irrelevant.

The Cubs aren't signing any big fish until Lester and Heyward are gone. And even then the big fish might just be keeping Bryant and Baez around.

It's embarrassing that this is even a possibility

Okay that's fine, Dan Lozano would be an absolute moron to operate under that assumption.

As their Arb guys continue to balloon, they need to build a bullpen, and add a starter or 3. Plus there's two 3rd basemen almost equally as attractive next year. The money is not going to be there in twelve months.
