Would highly recommend the album 'A Gift From God or Whatever' by Chris Farren for anyone remotely interested in punk and/or indie rock

So why do you care what the team is called?

People up in arms about what sports teams call themselves one way or their other need to direct their energy to something useful. That being said Native imagery is fuckin wack dude.

Oh my god I hate that

I thought I saw they told NL teams to anticipate no DH for 21

Idk it feels feasible to me. Not like he’s going to be getting multiyear deals

Does Nelson Cruz do anything for anyone?

His response to the post sox kerfuffle with Frazier was super fuckin weird too. demanding respect because he pays a mortgage.

Honestly, probably Michael Brantley

It's more likely it's a he's too expensive for what we expect him to be thing than a we literally cannot afford to sign this player thing.

Eaton, Lynn, Hendriks is like scary reminiscent of 2015. Though as I've said, the base is much stronger

I kinda assumed they're bringing in another pitcher like Quintana, no idea what another bat may entail.

I still think the Sox can and probably will survive this offseason. I just didn’t want to have to survive.

Woof

The only conclusion I can come to is they must really think Oscar Colas is a Thing. I remain unconvinced.

Throw out 2020 and they're mostly fine. This just sucks and I hate him.

It's hard to understate how much I fucking hate this dude.

Yeah, I got nothing on this one

I would like to go on record that I hate the idea of giving Bauer or Springer enormous contracts. In my mind they already missed the opportunities to add huge contracts where it made sense. Machado was a fuck up. Wheeler was a fuck up. Bigger fuck up still was not targeting haper instead. These two though? Meh.

It’s incredibly unlikely that you would be comfortable going into 2021 with Dane Dunning as your 3rd starter. hes thrown like 80 innings over two years and probably won’t get past like 140 this year. He’s probably going to be a solid piece at some point, but they don’t have time to wait around and find out and there’s 10 other guys who could be just as good

It’s more than likely they’d be looking for an upgrade from dunning anyway.

6 years of control means almost nothing when a: there is zero track record of success b: at least two of those years will be spent ramping up durability.

With a lot less flexibility.

Building a team you can project out to 95 regular season wins is almost literally all you can do and hope for the best in the playoffs. The Dodgers odds of winning that World Series against a team with a payroll half that of the White Sox was still only a little better than a coin flip.

People are burned by 2015, which is fair, but fail to consider the list of good major league players in this core is literally already twice as long as the one they had then, and likely to got a fair bit longer.
