One year opt out sucks for the Giants. If he plays well he’s gone. If he doesn’t you’re on the hook for another 18mil.

Fine to trade him but you better get a haul

Poor Mendick. Cohen probably pays his housekeeper more than that.

Hmmm so basically it’s possible?

I don’t think we have the farm system, ability to uncover hidden gems, or free agency flexibility that allows us a luxury such as Hendriks at closer with his age and salary. Trade him for a haul and figure out closer another way.

Pham would be a “fantasy” signing

Stop. He should be in prison.

Nice signing Rick, but please pack your bags and GTFO

Swanson’s wife Mallory Pugh plays for Chicago Red Stars so not too surprising he signed with the Cubs

I think going forward Swanson looks more like his versus X seasons vs 2022. If he plays like last season it’s a decent move. But imo he’s a 2 win player

Yuck - terrible contract

Agree on Marte. Wonder what he’s looking to get?

Who are some buy low candidates right now? Think the one year Rodon deal from a few years ago.

It’s true, it’s a good signing. This doesn’t mean Hahn/JR don’t suck, and they haven’t screwed up a ton of other things, but on its own this is clearly a good signing.

Sale for Benitendi, Moncada, Kopech, and Basabe. Who says no?

What’s with our fetish of refusing to sign elite FAs but happy to hand out 15m/yr contracts to mediocre players? Realize I’m jumping the gun but it would fit…

Continues the theme of ownership/management pretending like they’re trying to win

Can someone remind me what I’m supposed to be rooting for at this point? Every single FA to sign so that some team gets angry and makes a bad trade with Hahn?

Meanwhile we can’t keep our 25 year old’s from eating dominos four times a week.

What’s the one signing that’s happened that you wish the white Sox did? Make it within reason and assume we’d have the same terms.

I just think they’re frauds. They make believe that they care and that they’re trying.

No, definitely not a big league ball player, he was a political activist. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hilario_Moncado

The right deals. Ie deals for teams that can’t spend, can’t unearth diamonds in the rough, and have limited attractive prospects to trade.

So who does Tim Anderson get you? In theory if the Sox were trading Anderson to a team that had the Sox farm system who would they receive in return?

Lay off of Moncada. He’s working really hard in the off-season *checks Instagram* https://www.instagram.com/p/Cl4qnBppvb8/?igshid=YmMyMTA2M2Y= Nevermind….sigh
