I am happy to read this. Murakami will learn that Sox fans have a special place in their heart for players that choose them. I hope it works out for both of us, but if he struggles I’ll still have this dudes back. edit: d’oh “read this” meaning all of his comments and the responses.

I actually agree with you here. It is Getz showing more savvy in dealing with JR than Hahn era had. Still just farce to read in modern mlb.

Lmao

that's a handsome fit. JR probably loved that, he may have even offered to sign a Cigar magazine for him.

Man, this was great. It really did satisfy the itch I had for the Sox to just declare that they did still want to be a baseball team. Looking forward to my big boy swinging out of his shoes. What a wonderful change. Last year out 1b when you stared into his eyes was like looking into an abyss. And he sucked. But looking into murakamis eyes I see mountains. Our big boy is going to crush or die swinging. Down with the nerds. Zrate, vectors, dimensions. Big boy hit ball.

He’s a big boy.

This is such a weird year. After it looking like nfc was a gauntlet, now the afc looks as dominant record wise. Meanwhile the bottom is putrid. Which reminded me - there has been so few dumb nfl upsets. Panthers over rams is the biggest…and panthers are a playoff team.

Zero clue why they’d act like he had a TD when he was ran back 5 yards but I’ll take the playoffs!!!!

But the post you cited wasn’t concern about the price; it was about giving him a starting job.

Eh I think it’s reasonable. There is a decent chance Murakami is unplayable, but you won’t sign a hedge and have him “compete”. For Sox it’s a no brainer, but Red Sox have to worry about losing April / May to bad production before they can find a replacement.

We should call him El Caballo

Just clarified

Ugh he better not roid up and make us regret it

Would be a hilarious roster.

All credit to @Chicago White Sox who shitposted this into existence

Getz doing short deals to Ishbia era!

Wow let’s fuckin goooo uh…boy that’s cheap

Yeah just heard it. Missing a triumphant Thayer scream too

What made those “Caught!”s so great though was they were delivered just before it was confirmed by refs. Just unreal calls.

Agree those were all time calls. That game was insane. Best night ever.

I don’t know what to think here. Getting colder feet that he probably sucks, and then I’d feel bad I wanted someone who wasn’t good. But I’m also starving for something more interesting that trading for 40 man fodder from other teams. Tough call. I’d probably fail the Oreo test.

Labor certainty?

I both want it resolved, but I do get annoyed at the PR push. It's great the bears just want infrastructure support, but --come on -- they are already at a location that has infrastructure support. They are asking the state pay to help them move when it is their choice to move. In my world, because teams do not commit themselves to the state/city in these deals, I'd prefer the world where the NFL entity pays for these stadiums, and the owners are leased to the NFL, paying back with interest the investment of the NFL and back to those owners. The NFL would add real estate to its portfolio which it could use to gain access to more money for growth. But that' snot how it is, the teams beg for money then still threaten to leave. It's also an infrastructure project that has little utility WITHOUT the team...so it's just such a stupid world. But Chicagoland is certainly better with the bears, and there are economic benefits to having a team that go beyond dollars and cents. But f*** kevin warren and the mccaskeys. Fans are being exploited to drain every cent, then they want their political mind too.

How about shut up!

I love when we try to will the sox to sign someone and there is literally nothing at all from the agent or major writers on it but we are like "dark mode Getz" lol. Sox fans DID will KW to sign Iguchi though, so some parallel.
