Yates

I’m honestly not sure if I would rather have had Mazara next year instead of him

This strikes me as a “he won’t strike out too much against the Indians and Twins” as a lefty hitter acquisition.

Dbacks hated him also, so it’s not like it was a Frazier thing

Nothing like having no power at all from the bottom 2 spots in the order. Home runs are bad! Ground outs are good

Can’t wait for all of Benetti’s Adam Eaton and Adam Engle jokes

This is reminding me so much of that offseason Samardzija - Lynn Melky - Eaton Robertson - Hendriks

I agree White Sox front office, hitting home runs is overrated.

Despite how bad Joc was, Eaton was still significantly worse

His defense has fallen off a cliff

At least LF and CF are dependable guys in terms of health

His numbers have been bad of late.

Absolutely hate this. He’s always hurt and defense has deteriorated.

2nd easy

Then they will spend on pitching as the offense will be completely covered. It won’t be 30 million dollar guys, but it will be useful pitchers.

Yes but soxtalk seems to want all 5 spots locked down for the next 6 years

Two years of competitiveness now? Good god, I’m the pessimist?

Yep, great fastball hitter but struggles with offspeed stuff

So cliffs on the Stone interview please?

Jerry would never pay 30 mil a year for a pitcher. It is what it is.

Totally agree

Who’s the bigger splash besides Bauer?

Same

They’re spending it, just not all in one place. I get the frustration, I would rather go for superstars. Saying they’re not spending after last year and what’s likely to happen this year is inaccurate though.

So it sure seems from Rosenthal’s article that Lynn was more interested in playing for the Sox in 2021 with Tony than he was in 2020 with Ricky.
