While the extreme optimists stay positive, I’ll bet the under and make some money...

False promises, and Ivan Novas... Yonder Alonso and Jon Jay for dessert. Nuff said.

Willing means jack shit. Get back to me when the money is actually spent. Your argument literally perpetuates the defense of the Sox front office and not actually spending money. Congrats, cuz your fandom contributes directly to Reinsdorf’s strategy of not spending money like a legitimate MLB contender.

Great post. I have no doubt the Sox front office is banking on most Sox fans being lemmings and not looking into stuff like this.

Thank you. I can’t believe people defend failed signings as if it’s some sort of participation award. ? I want to see what these same defenders say when Wheeler’s $120 million isn’t actually spent elsewhere, just like Machado’s $250 million from last offseason. $73 million was spent on Grandal. I’m still waiting on the rest of it to be spent...

If you don’t see which way this offseason is going, you haven’t been a White Sox fan long enough...

I don’t count players that didn’t sign contracts to become actual White Sox players. You shouldn’t either. That’s $120 million not spent. Will they spend it elsewhere? Oops, I guess this is where you won’t respond...

You couldn’t burn $4 million in your fireplace faster than giving it to Yolmer. Let’s hope that doesn’t happen, considering Mendick is better.

Very strange.

Good luck in the postseason with that type of talent, if you even make it.

Gatorade boy is gone, finally. Good riddance.

I’d chance it on Mendick. Dude showed some hitting skills at the end of last year, including surprising pop. Save the money for SP, RP, and a big righty bench bat that can play RF.

“Are you crazy, Cali? My cigars are pretty expensive...”

Eh, I like when almost every episode builds into the next one, like Breaking Bad (outside of The Fly episode ?). I love when you can look back and see all the linked in details that you missed the first time around.

Why does Sox ownership and management refuse to bring in pitching? Where did all of the money go that was never spent by maintaining low payrolls for all of these rebuild years and after missing out in Machado last year?

Alex Wood for sure, as the second starting pitcher.

Then raise your expectations for the Sox ownership and front office... because they can and should do better. ”The money will be spent.”

Two “serviceable” starters ain’t gonna cut it.

To me, it’s trash outside of Bumgarner, Ryu, and Keuchel. All of the SP options outside of these three guys are fliers.

I’m a little surprised by this. Mendick is dirt cheap and can do the job. And I think he can hit a bit. Maybe a better version of Saladino.

Sox are gonna go cheap with Engel as the fourth outfielder. Maybe they sign one more righty bench bat. The bench is pretty close to being set already, unless there is a trade... McCann Collins Leury Engel Mendick

Hahn never moves on from his targets (see Mazara).

If “better than Covey” is what Hahn is shooting for, we may as well fast forward to 2021.

Easier said than done, otherwise Price would be with a new team by now. Signing a one year guy should be easy though, if Hahn shows any interest in doing so anytime soon.

This is the most frustrating thing.
