Time to roll a DP.

Walton’s gimmick blows as much as Benetti’s comedy act.

Gotta love the fake overexcitement on every pitch and every play. It was expected but man, is it fake and forced.

This is hilarious.

It could easily work that way. Do you like bad players or something? All three likely won’t be on the team next year so what’s the difference?

Sox would never pay for Maddon.

Eloy is going to get run on all day.

Eloy can’t even get a throw from shallow left field to the plate.

And he also has a noodle arm, haha. That is pathetic.

That ball is probably caught 95% of the time.

Eloy is a terrible left fielder.

Ridiculous play by Anderson.

You think someone would tell Benetti we can’t hear anyone but him?

This broadcast is a shit show. Man, this is a joke. And Trout is still the stud of all studs.

By the way, our old friend Derek Holland threw the meatball to Harper to lose the game. Nice pickup by the Cubs. And Maddon went to the typical left lefty matchup of course.

Bryce Harper is still an absolute stud and anyone who didn’t want to sign him is a moron. Walkoff granny against the Cubs. Haha.

Honestly, Grandal being 31 is my main reservation to signing him to a 4 year deal. I know they also need pitching but add Grandal and one of the free agent outfielders, along with Robert and Madrigal, and Abreu back on a short hometown deal, and the lineup looks pretty damn good.

I would give Grandal 4-years, $60 million in a second. $60 million guaranteed ($15 million per year) is easily manageable for the Sox and would have a big impact on the lineup. Sure, I would love to see the Sox throw a big contract at Cole but he could get 6-years and $200 million. For much less money and risk, a guy like Grandal could still make a big impact. Also, I don’t care how McCann finishes the season. He’s too big of a risk as a one year wonder even if he finishes strong. Besides, having two good catchers is a great problem to have. Add Collins to the roster and you could play some interesting lineups to get 2 of these 3 bats in the lineup at C, DH, and 1B while keeping a viable catcher on the bench getting them all a good amount of at bats as well as keeping them all fresh for an entire season.

You seem to struggle with the concept that an innings eater on a one year contract in a losing season is pointless. It would be like not trading Colome this season if he didn’t have an extra year of control. Hahn acquired Nova to flip him for a prospect at the deadline. Nova failed miserably because his first half sucked so bad.

The Sox not going after Grandal with all the money they should have available would either mean that the Sox just aren’t very bright or they will be going cheap in free agency because ChiSox59’s plan makes perfect sense and would be a feasible way to greatly improve the lineup.

He has, but he is also getting older (27 in February). So pretend you are the Sox... name one reason you wouldn’t have Yermin up right now? What are they thinking?

Dumping some of the contract of a washed up starting pitcher for a dirt cheap 20 year old phenom SS allowed them to spend elsewhere. But yeah, the Hosmer signing was bad from day one. You don’t pay big bucks for a 1B who doesn’t hit a lot of homers. However, I still think the Machado signing will be fine.

Yeah, great job Nova. He pitched like crap for so much of the season, by the time he finally started pitching well it was too little too late and no team would trade for him. Now he’s pitching great and teams would likely give up a decent prospect for him but it’s past the hard deadline. So ultimately, Nova getting his numbers back to respectable now still does jack squat for the Sox for his $9 million dollar salary. Any way you look at it, the acquisition was pointless with the Sox in another tank season. Because you know Hahn had planned to flip Nova at the deadline. Instead, we get nothing but the pleasure of watching Nova finish the season with us and get his entire $9 million paid out. At this point, DFA’ing Nova wouldn’t matter. Frustrating as hell.

Exactly. Bubba, obviously Hahn made the wrong decision just like many other acquisitions last offseason and overall in his career.

Ah, the user comments section had more information than the pathetic story: “More details would help. This version is a one per print run. And if you follow the player he will be on the Sox next year. We will see him in September call ups for sure.” “It is a 1 of 1 superfractor auto. I am a card collector. A bowman superfractor auto of Jon Billingcycle some double A no name can go for over 1,000.....this is not a surprise. What a card. Worth every penny.”
