@southsider2k5 has posted it a couple times. Hopefully he sees this thread and can find it and post it again.

The Sox have been losing money year after year according to SS2K5. An easy way to soften those losses is to slash payroll. Especially right before you are planning to sell the team in 2029. And I am not buying that Ishbia is going to fund any Sox offseason until he actually owns the team.
-
The truth is that Jerry isn’t approving any real spending outside of cheap low tier free agents until he sells the team. It’s been funny reading this site and posters still having hope that Getz will sign some decent free agents. Guys like O’Hearn and Fairbanks are more than likely out of the range of what Getz can even spend. Jhonkensy Noel for 1B is right up Getz’s alley, just like Everson Pereira was for RF/CF.

I doubt they want to risk adding another potential bloated contract if they aren’t sure about the guy to begin with. They already have to sell Robert and his $20 million plus his $2 million buyout on some team and have no hopes of dumping Benintendi’s remaining 2-years and $31 million. That’s already $53 million dollars the Sox don’t want on their payroll over the next two seasons.

Do you have an any more details on this? What qualities/attributes don’t interest them? Curious… And if they are going to go dirt cheap, then work a waiver claim/trade for Big Christmas and try him out at 1B.
-
I’m sure Getz is probably interested but Jerry doesn’t want to spend any money.
-
Wait till you see Everton Pereira, Derek Hill, and Tristan Peters! You’ll be eating those words soon…

@Chicago White Sox right now…

Strange, isn’t it? Although Elias still didn’t really give up his top prospects here either.
-
That’s the Orioles #10, #11, and #30 prospects according to MLB Pipeline, and I’m sure the Rays chose wisely as usual.

One of their best eras of winning.

New holiday — Murakumi Monday.

@Chicago White Sox on Monday, if Getz manages to do the unthinkable…
-
I think Fairbanks is trying to get legit closer money. Regardless of what Fairbanks ends up signing for, it won’t be with the Sox.
-
Ken never says it’s for only one year. Maybe it’s 2-years at 18+ million? Either way, it’s too rich for Jerry’s blood.
-
Exactly. The Sox aren’t going to spend any serious coin on another outfielder because B. Montgomery is waiting in the wings.
-
Yikes.
-
Agreed, but the OF will have to be cheap. $5 million or less. I’m not surprised they have talked to Conforto.
-
Probably both. He gets the better job title but also gets to stick in his own niche and work on what he is proficient at.
-
Sure, he could. But this team isn’t close enough to competing to burn a year of control on one of our top prospects.
-
That would be a very stupid decision. And it isn’t happening.
-
It was really good. Vietnam one is still the best IMO.
-
Yes.
