I can't even fathom how outlandish the conspiracy theories will get if this goes til March

Yeah I don't buy it and this is the main reason why.

To be fair, the Sox don't have anyone on staff that was a MLB catcher for a decade as far as I know.

Not going to lie, I've based all of my arguments on the assumption that if Pederson comes, Manny is coming too. I will concede that Pederson without Manny makes no sense.

The cubs didn't have a Hall of Famer and 2 all stars on team friendly deals to trade. Stop comparing the White Sox to teams that started at rock-bottom

Agreed. And there is zero excuse to not try and make the ML team better when looking at this divisional outlook. There is opportunity both this year and next. It might not (probably won't) happen, but punting isn't the answer.

Jim Bowden is such a dope

If they want Realmuto without trading Verdugo, it’s a must.

Agreed it's a good deal for the Dodgers, don't think it would make sense for the Sox

I would have liked Pollack, but I want 5 years is.... a long time

Any of those teams other than the Sox have a reason to not make a deal official other than the Sox?

Joc should be cheap now

I read it as him agreeing with WSD. Regardless, I try not to pay to much attention to what White Sox State TV has to say.

Wade Miley on a one year deal feels like a no brainer to me. He'll probably stink, but if he can give you 150 innings half as good as his 80 last year, that would be a huge huge win.

I couldn’t think of one good reason manny would like the post of his brother in law that he is very close with other than to signal he is coming to the sox

Nope! Having fun yet?

Not if the other option is punting 2020

Ah I misread that. But winning the thing wouldn't bother me, having to start over again almost immediately after would though.

It would be nearly impossible to sustain success as promised when trading the best pitcher the Sox have ever had if your not competitive until 2022-2023. So winning a World Series in 2022 or 2023, while certainly a positive outcome, would be failing to deliver on what was pitched to the fan base to get them on board with garbage baseball.

Good, let's speed this thing up

Sox are wearing their normal jerseys for Spring?

I don't blame the guy for having a chip on his shoulder considering people have been moving him to Center since the day he was drafted. He's said in the past he'd be willing to move, and he's not saying he won't move here. He's saying I'm gonna try my hardest to make sure the best move for the team isn't moving me.

He is just as worthy as being the Shortstop as Manny because he is the better Shortstop.

It's okay Tim. This is a safe place, you can admit it.

...and lost in the ALDS to a team that they were 11 wins better than.
