No reason not to want amazing players on the sox. I couldn't believe we let turner get traded without being the top team rumored the entire time, especially considering what happened with Madrigal. Big missed opportunity. But yeah, there's no chance now.

Yaz may be cooked physically, but offers one of the few potential high obp, lhp potential on the roster. It's something they need to actually figure out, but it's one of the reasons you can't trust this FO because they looked at Carlos Rodon and determined he was done and he basically could have won the cy young and will get buku bucks.

LOL. I love how different the white sox is in national writers heads vs. fans. We are more correct with zero info.

Only thing you could do is try to unload Grandal (which requires eating cash or taking on ...probably a trash pitcher I'd guess) That really opens up the C position for Omar Narvaez! Now a good defensive catcher, his offense has fallen off. It looks like he may have hit a real wall as he ages into year 30, making him attractive to Hahn.

I like this, wasn't a fan of the wake forest color scheme. Cool idea to tie it into the rest of the sports teams. Well, actually I don't think it's executed that well. I think the grays are probably the best.

Thank god

biggest bummer is C is pretty weak. Guys that are on good lines but not with great grades from pff (my only way to judge, even if flawed). Now, do you try to steal jason kelce for a twilight tour? He's still playing at a high level. Maybe they win a superbowl and start to get serious about a jalen hurts contract.

he needs to play like caruso but be 6'9. Finally he's getting it.

Happy for a baseball lifer getting a shot.

what is with white sox media and constantly alluding that they know more and never saying it? Goodness, maybe Cowley was good for something.

I do keep getting annoyed that I don't see his name.

I think it is good that the white sox did not make a "superstar" manager hire, and will have one integrated with the process of the rest of the org (including maybe outside hires of his own to put his stamp on development). I don't think the rest of the org is strong, but I do think Getz more than anyone has tinkered constantly with PD and it's a step forward. I just have a hard time believing Eloy won't have one monster season in his career. Please let it happen where we have some chance of competing and not just to get us a handful of prospects.

I'm sorry you didn't like the pick, but the point remains that its ridiculous to imply any GM is thinking they need to "make up" for a third round pick. They went after traits, didn't work. It hasn't worked for any of the third round receivers yet. I wanted bernhard raimann in the third because he was mocked as a early second round pick. He's awful while Braxton Jones is good. Welcome to the draft. The bears walked into the offseason with few picks and few players where too much of the cap had to go to aging performers. To the extent the offense could be fixed by nailing a third round pick shows how difficult the path was. The 2017 saints and 2018 colts are one of the few drafts that completely remade a team in one swoop, and they both had top 15 picks (one a top 5 pick).

I’m so unmotivated to make my spreadsheet this year. I also feel like the salary estimates will be much harder this offseason

Also pleasant first returns from Dragic/Drummond.

It's strange. It feels like this bulls team is better, which is good. The east is hell though, which makes me really worry. After last year, it will be tough to know where this team stands until we see how they play in Feb/March/April. They fell off so hard.

Thank goodness. Happy for DC fans.

If Kevin Long was given very prominent press for helping turn around Schwarber into one of the best home run hitters in baseball, and then move to the phillies where the slugging of Schwarber helped keep them afloat while Harper was injured, yes, not many would want him. But those things did happen and that's why people like him. also this very famous moment: (Kevin Long and Juan Soto travel to dodgers playoff game last year to cheer on Max Scherzer) It really is okay to like someone. And if the manager doesn't have as much control of success as you like, why do you care if people want someone they like in the role of manager?

Surprise but after sleeping on it, am starting to get excited. There are elements here where you just have to hope the f.o./coaching staff are right. Their 'type' for a receiver has been described as bigger, athletic profiles. That is where the attraction to Harry, St. Brown come from. Harry looked good last week but Claypool has certainly been better as a pro. They've wanted a fly route guy for a while, and mooney is a bit too small for the press on it. But the other element is the bears F.O. finally reorienting focus to the offense. I don't know if Claypool works out, but I know many of us were looking in horror at this FA class where there was maybe only one guy you could squint and say is a #2 (smith-schuster). The draft really had only one guy you could say is a Poles/Flus type (Quentin Johnston, TCU). Smith-Njigba was a big name, but really doesn't sound like a fit for what they say they like (he may run extremely slow for a wR in combine, is only 6'0). Jordan Addison is a smaller guy, and same with Boutte (but may be extremely athletic, so we'll see). So add both those together, it made sense. I pouted about Calvin Riddle, but he really is a risky play. No guarantee he's re-instated by 2023, hasn't played in 2 years. Is already relatively older. The jags put together a very interesting deal to account for that, but Claypool plays right away. Anyway with Claypool, they have a guy who has big run game moments, and they will give him every opportunity to go deep isntead of his slot role this year. With him and Harry, there is some size now in red zone. Let's hope they play with it.

You keep saying this but the reason he came to prominence is his work with the nationals and especially the turn around with Schwarber. (Nationals won in 2019 btw) Maybe just because you were ignorant doesn’t mean everyone was. I don’t know, maybe after all our star young players turned into offensive pumpkins that could be a popular profile. But DA knows best, if anyone ever likes something, it must be wrong.

Good stuff. The NFL is hard to figure out so it’s hard to be too confident. I knew they wanted a big receiver. They get a no doubt one that’s maybe one of the best athletes in the position. I complain they don’t get a smaller guy suspended for the season. Just desperately need this to work. Can’t handle another decade of same ole bears.

Sign saquon in the offseason and be legends

I think it's really hard to know who will be a good hitting coach, there isn't any one profile. That's why you also shouldn't be trigger shy to firing them if they aren't working out. But to me they should be answering to an org level hitting coordinator.

Would much rather have done the Ridley deal.
