Interesting hire.

When Felix Hernandez gets signed we will know that Hahn is a puppet and who is pulling his strings.

If he gets anymore under the radar we will be looking at the 2020 offseason to get someone.

King Felix and Miley

If your plan is to destroy the fan base, go ahead. Trade Moncada and Gio. I endorsed the rebuild on the idea that it would eventually end. I could go and support the Pirates or Marlins if I wanted to see the endless roster shuffle.

If they "rebuild the rebuild" I am out. The rebuild was sold as young controllable talent and then we would add the missing pieces via FA or trade. If they cant pull the trigger due to price now then the future costs are really going to spook them. You are never going to build completely on your own. All teams need something.

Well remember. We can afford to absorb this contract. I hope to god we don't "save money" by kicking in a better prospect.

Their payroll today is south of 90 million. No I didn't think we were going to get Cole or Stras or Rendon. I did however think they were going to spend a little money. Think of all the money they wasted last year on the friends and family plan. Its depressing.

Outstanding timing. The responses to this tweet are good. This is my winner for best reply.

Yup that 94 strike killed what would of been a nice deep playoff run. That was the best team in the AL, if not baseball that year. Then we get it settled just In time to have the Indians get real good.

He is old right now. Looks like he is actual Egyptian and believes that Anubis will allow him to pass into the afterlife with all of his gold. If he doesn't care about going for it now. Its not like in 2 years he will change his thoughts on the subject.

We will need at least one team official to start playing the "Well if you came to the ballpark we could afford free agents" right around now to make things better. I am sure Merkin probably has an article all ready to go on that material.

It would be so whitesox to have JR at the helm of a nice labor dispute right around the time they are ready to go on a roll.

And the lower rung players are starting to get offers and will move off the chessboard. It will be interesting to see what patchwork "vet" Rick signs.

Soxfest might be worth going to this year.

JR thinks under 90 million is very respectable.

What's the sox payroll for 2020? Whats the league average. They just spent the last couple of years banking coin on their payroll. If we are at such a low payroll and opening up the books spooks the front office. Then we are not competing anyway and this is all eyewash. Lets stop pretending that this is the Marlins. They have money.

They are not replacing the front office. Kenny and Hahn are here for the long run. Just they will chance philosophies.

So how much money is Giolito going to cost if he keeps trending up? Do you see us locking him up for what he gets valued at when the time comes. Same with Moncada. Eventually these guys get to FA. And hoping they will all take team friendly deals is a bit over reaching.

There is a -400% chance that we land Springer on the open market.

This is not about Walkers value versus Mazara. Its about Mazara vs Ozuna vs Castellanos. If money was no object does Eno park Mazara out there instead of the two other options.

He is your starting RF. Ozuna and Castellanos are off the table.

His platoon mate will be Engel.

JR endorses this strategy.
