That is perfectly reasonable agreement if they were at all serious about winning, or "rebuilding trust." If romy/sosa is how they walk into the season at 2nd base any good feeling I got from the benintendi deal will be greatly diminished. Different year same garbage.

2007? The year of Mike MacDougal, Andrew Sisco, David Aardsma and yours truly.

That's fair. It's not ideal but in a swap of some bad money I'd take it.

Does offering Kelly and/or graveman get Esobar? If the Sox can't get want they want for Hendricks shift in that direction. If that doesn't work walk away. I agree with others on the board it's a necessity to win this trade.

Thrilled with this.

Gallo to twins for 1 year 11 million. Starting to believe this 10d rumor a bit.

Ideally yes, I agree.

If this team is to complete this year they need power from Robert, Eloy and Vaughn period. And if they get that Benintendi will compliment that nicely. Not to mention Benintendi can absolutely pop off 16 or 17 home runs which would've topped the ballclub last year. Gallo himself only hit 19.

Adam Frazier to Baltimore. 1 year 8 million. So there's that.....

I'll be mad if it's Gallo.

He is. And when that works fine. But when it doesn't......well here we are.

Like I said excessive celebration is part of the game now like it or not. And I think in cases like bat flips it has less to do with excitement than it does arrogance. It's why I loved Frank Thomas compared to Sammy Sosa. One hopped around like a fool, the other put his head down and circled the bases. Whoever said the opinions here are more related to the age of the fan was on track. It's part of the game now so I can tolerate it and not be a huge fan of it. It's really the least of my problems with TA.

That's fair. Most of them don't get blasted on social media though. That and the fact that his play seemed to be effected by it made it more relevant to fans. In conjunction with this he lost me when he flipped off fans in Cleveland. That coupled with his seemingly apathetic approach this past season is what turned me off. The bat flipping is what it is. Like or not it's part of the game now. People not to stop with the race crap. He's done enough dumb garbage for some fans to be turned off by his character.

Liam celebrating a save he almost blew in an outrageous fashion ist just as annoying as a mid-game early season TA bat flip.

I feel like Conforto and/or Benintendi go soon.

I asked how often not who were the last ones.

Fair. But how many players do we already have whom we hope return to career norms? Grandal? Moncada? Giolito? Robert and eloy staying healthy. Now add another we "hope" gets back to normal. Why not get a Nimmo or Benintendi who are still playing solid ball? If that meant relying on Sosa and a veteran crapshoot at 2nd fine. I'd rather one of those 2 outfielders than signing multiple reclamation projects.

Why is there this thought that Gallo will come to the White Sox and get better? How often do players come here and improve?

Nobody needs a ballplayer that hit .160 last year. And Benintendi is more capable of hitting 19 home runs, Gallo's number last year, than Gallo is of batting .200. Putting the ball in play routinely, with success, still has value. I agree the ballclub needs more home runs but they absolutely do not need to settle for yet another player that needs a massive rebound year. That's the whole lineup already. They are choosing to settle and that's why it's frustrating.

The fact that there are fans okay with this potential signing shows how low we've sunk.

Please No Gallo.......good lord do we just settle for garbage here.

Cody bellinger to cubs allegedly

I love that it seems there are few, if any, fans left who buy a single thing Hahn says. He'd be better off just keeping his mouth shut at this point.

A new team to follow.....sorry I'm very down on everything unfolding lately.

Has it been covered yet that the Sox are signing a pitcher with a funky, extended delivery the same year where a pitch clock is being enforced?
