The more I think about it, they need one more lefty bat unless they give Vaughn an extension.

Of course, but the combo of Jerry being cheap and the pandemic has made Hahn have to try to piece it all together.

More like explain why they did that

Funny how we’re all like “why is it so slow now”, yet every other fan base in baseball thinks the Sox are only team making moves.

Fegan implies Abreu and/or Anderson gave the go ahead for Eaton to be signed.

There were also red flags that Kimbrel was fading. Not so for Hendriks

At the bottom of this article, it doesn’t take much of an imagination to figure out Hahn is saying the budget was lower than it normally would have been due to COVID https://www.radio.com/670thescore/sports/chicago-white-sox/white-sox-acquire-lance-lynn-trade-full-focus-world-series-championship

Also sounds like he’s going to get way more than Eaton (possibly twice as much)

He’s the Lance Lynn of relievers

Fantastic point

But I’m sure Joc isn’t good enough for the Sox but good enough for that crappy Dodgers franchise

Hopefully he doesn’t hang up

I couldn’t be less shocked you like him

I just hope Abreu can get along with him now. As long as he can, everyone else will.

Hahn says the window is open

Funny thing is Brantley would be a debacle defensively in RF. Would have been a bad choice as well.

Brantley was too expensive because say they had 20 million for RF and closer allotted. Instead of paying Brantley 12 and having 8 left for a closer, they can pay Hendriks 13 and Eaton 7.

Followed by Hahn having a joint zoom call asking “how was your week?”

Good research

Sox make the Lynn trade official and of course White Sox twitter is toxic in the responses.

He’s too valuable as defensive sub for Eloy

Also I don’t think Eaton is coming here to be part of a platoon

They’re spreading it around. Probably went cheaper in RF and jumped at it to now try and get Hendriks.

Nightengale reporting Brantley was first choice but too expensive for them

Yep KW thinks they were soft. Meanwhile the same front office failed to get another pitcher when it was brutally obvious the pitching was running on fumes.
