And the Sox are desperately trying to dump his salary. LOL.

🤢🤮

What do these two scrubs do for the Sox?

Congratulations, @Dick Allen!

And Jerry wouldn’t sign Harper or Machado for $330 to $350 million. This is over double just 5 years later. Please go away Jerry, one way or another…

Basically, all the stuff Poles should have done with the OL already. He should definitely be on the hot seat.

But just imagine if you were Dodgers fan. A Conforto signing for the Sox would be the prize of our offseason. For the Dodgers, his signing is an afterthought.

To quote @fathom, fire everyone.

Horrible.

That was quick…

Never.

This will make you feel better. Here’s our new outfield along with Luis Robert…

Haha, I almost forgot about the name on the scoreboard back when Harper was a free agent and how people thought the Sox had a chance because of that. I couldn’t find the picture.

That story is brutal. Warren hurting the Bears more than helping anything. https://nypost.com/2024/12/05/sports/jim-harbaugh-wanted-to-coach-the-bears-they-werent-interested/

Sox scouting whiff?

The next generation of Sox fans gets to be depressed watching Vargas be depressed on the field.

Because all 30 teams make bank from their local revenues combined with MLB profit sharing. They can all afford these contracts. They just don’t sign them because they would rather collect ever more profits, just like Jerry and many other owners. It has nothing to do with winning or losing.

Jeebus Lice... remember when Harper and Machado could’ve been signed for $330 to $350 million? “Yankees, Mets up Juan Soto bids north of $700 million as his historic free agency nears end“ Juan Soto doesn’t remember or care… Neither does stupid cheap Jerry.

I don’t believe Mellody Hobson’s percentage of ownership in the White Sox has ever been made public so I’m not sure how you are throwing this out there?

Even that deal is a bit shady. Better cuz it’s only 3 years but take a look at O’Neill’s “consistency” or lack thereof over the past few years. I think his deal and Benintendi’s deal will both look bad by the end of next season.

Instead, it was spread out over the years to Keuchel, Grandal, Hendriks, and Benintendi. Wise decisions over just signing Machado or Harper. Quantity over quality is not always better, which is something Jerry has never quite figured out. Four players that everyone wanted to cut up to years before their contracts were up over two players that are still earning their pay, Jerry sure knows how to make money but he is pretty damn clueless at baseball.

I agree that I wouldn’t pay Adames that much money. However, I think you are underestimating MLB free agency money… Francisco Lindor was #3 in fWAR last year among all MLB shortstops, just above Adames, and he signed with the Mets in 2021 for 10-years and $341 million. That’s almost twice as much total money as what Adames just signed for. This Adames contract looks like a steal compared to that deal.

Sorry, corrected my post. I was mixing up Miller with Painter.
