Oh yeah, Tim Hill was good once he left the Sox for the Yankees.

Defense and leadership is all you need!

Have any of the players Getz signed last offseason signed for more money this offseason? Sure seems like none of them have.

I don’t think any of those players can be qualified even that highly.

An owner and GM willing to spend money.

We already know the answer to this — the guy can’t stay healthy and that’s definitely what the Sox fear most.

Yep, that’s a problem. $100 million dollar contracts don’t even get you really good players anymore.

It didn’t happen. An offer isn’t a contract. The fact remains… 5/$75. Period. Do Blue Jays fans still give credit to their team for trying but failing to sign Ohtani? No. A failed signing is just that — a whiff, a failure. No one cares. No one wants to overpay bad players. I don’t see anywhere in this thread where anyone claimed that the Benintendi signing was great. But continue on with your stupid hyperbole and lies about what I said about Michael A. Taylor. I wanted the Sox to sign him last offseason for $3 to $4 million dollars as a flip candidate. Well, he sucked bad and the Sox just gave him $2 million this offseason instead. Why you think this is some sort of burn, I’ll never know. You continue making excuses for a bad, cheap owner and team — “The Sox last big contract was bad so they are justified in never giving out big contracts!” No. The problem is with the awful GMs that Jerry hires picking the wrong players to sign. And it doesn’t matter anyways. SS2K5 nailed it here. So while you continue to fantasize about a contract offer that was never formalized, remember that the Sox would still be in the minority of cheapskate teams even had Wheeler accepted it.

The running theme is that Getz continues to take back the wrong players in his trades, regardless of the scale of players involved. Even with lesser trades, your team isn’t going to improve when you continue to take back negative WAR players over ~2 WAR players.

5/$75. We are in the basement with the A’s. Does that impress you? An offer isn’t a contract. Do you agree that 5/$75 is pathetic and embarrassing?

Dude, you are fucking flexing on a player that the Sox didn’t sign. 5/$75. The White Sox are literally as pathetic as only one other team in all of baseball in their max contract — the Athletics. Does that impress you? I know one thing — Wheeler didn’t sign with the White Sox and definitely made the best decision by not doing so. 🤣🤣🤣

What I want to know is — even if the Sox had the highest offer, did Hahn ever ask Wheeler how much more money it would take for Wheeler to choose Chicago over Philly? Cuz they sure didn’t do any better when they pivoted to Keuchel. They had to eat the money for the last year of his contract anyways.

At the end of the day, their largest contract is still 5/$75.

No, they don’t. They all suck. Abreu is like 40+ in real years and Tim is worried more about his Instagram hit list than his batting average these days.

Replace Fletcher and Meidroth with Drury and Gallo.

Yes, it is. This just shows you how bad Getz knows that he fucked on that Fletcher trade, when he didn’t take back Jake McCarthy. He can’t even entrust Fletcher to backup CF so he has to give old man Taylor $2 million guaranteed.

That’s racist.

Did tray’s dreaded laugh feedback emoji hurt you down to your core?

All he has to have is a decent first half. Like .775 OPS. I don’t think that’s crazy. But I assume you are thinking he will get injured. That’s the true horrifying risk.

Eh, we know they are going to suck but there are some interesting young players to watch for their own individual performances.

That’s great to hear. He sure looked skinny for a guy with his type of minor league numbers. At least he realized how bad he was last season and got bulked up to hopefully hit some bombs this year.

Be specific.

No combination of the Sox roster could be considered “offense-heavy”. 🤣

Yep, I just realized that. I forgot he was acquired from the Cubs and had a major league contract. Still going with Gallo and Drury.

What if they start Ramos at Charlotte? Vargas and Gallo platoon at DH while they both get moved to other positions as well.
