Nice move, so I guess they won’t be trading him for Arenado. Great!?

Their next hires and players for the new offensive unit will be of critical importance to the team next year. Nagy and Pace can’t mess up on these hires or acquisitions or their asses will be in the jackpot.

That’s why I like Bernstein and McKnight. They talk about the Cubs and Sox and they bring analytical perspectives. Mac used to be a Sox fan and talked about them until he started drinking the Cubs koolaid and listening to his boy Parkins.

Why isn’t anyone confident they’ll bring in Mariota for Trubisky to compete with? Keenum and Smith wouldn’t be good enough competition for Trubisky.

The offensive line’s effort was awful today, letting many linemen easily get to Trubisky. The rushing yardage they had from scrimmage this year was at times offensive. I would also like to know the advantage of quick passes to the outside in that offense. They seem to yield a few quick yards at a time but then get shut down almost immediately.

Continuity. Consistently firing coaches and GMs can lead to perpetual rebuilds.

I have a feeling Mitch’s competition will be out of Tennessee. Either Tannehill or Mariota.

Put Mahomes on the Bears with this team and they wouldn’t be rolling like the Chiefs are with how many holes this team has. Mitch is a symptom of the problem but he is not the main problem.

Hopefully I’m surprised, but I don’t think the reliever or bat will be among the top remaining free agents or even players like Betts or Arenado.

Are you sure? I didn’t get that vibe from his tweet.

Does anyone know how the vesting option works yet?

Which is why he’s a softball coach now and not working in analytics in MLB.

Then fans should abandon a bad product then and speak with their wallets.

Then Hahn should be ripped in the media and at SoxFest. They can’t keep bringing in and using the same crap mediocre players (you all know who they are) and expecting to win, unless their goal is to collect second and third place finishes...

What’s likely now, Ryu and Keuchel, Keuchel and a rental and Price and Keuchel? I don’t see many more options has to bring in two pitchers. I don’t think there’s many of us that want them trotting out Covey every fifth day.

Encarnacion doesn’t matter without pitching. I just meant they can’t have too many 1B/DH/C options on the roster.

Evidently, but he was garbage when they called him up the first time. Let’s hope the momentum the second time carries into this year even though he may be at AAA.

But why Encarnacion, is the team supposed to be immobile with catching, 1B and DH types?

Good to see you posting back on here again. I read for the same reason you do, for the hot stove news nuggets and conversation but skim through the mass hysteria. From what I saw when Collins was up, he was a pile of hot garbage. That doesn’t mean he was as bad at AAA, but it does indicate this will be a make or break year for him as he will be 25. I don’t understand why Encarnacion would be added to the mix, especially before they address their pitching flaws, unless they are intending on dealing Collins or McCann. There are a lot of holes to fill still.

If that’s the best news the dude is going to report on, this offseason is going to suck. They better sign some pitchers before they really look like shit with their lack of moves and spending (Grandal should have just been the start).

Agreed, especially with how many rumors aren’t true.

And as usual, the White Sox don’t do shit or miss out.

I like Bumgarner, just not to the tune of $100 million.

Why does Covey deserve more starts after how bad he has been in his tenure with the White Sox?

How bad would Bumgarner and Keuchel be?
