Last year it was quite literally one. The only big off books source they have is parking, which isn't great when record low crowds are the case.

Mostly because when we do he'd be 42 and having been released after a failed MiLB deal.

The Prediction Markets are open for what team he adopts to obsess over next. The LA Dodgers are at 75 cents currently.

Yeah, we need to first get past the idea that the Sox would be the leading offer to any of these guys, then we could talk about their chances vs other teams in that scenario. When you suck AND you won't spend? Well that is how you end up with a free agent list that looks like an old folks home for utility players.

See this is where you are mistaken. You would NOT have autonomy to operate however you want. We have complete evidence that Jerry interfere's with day to day operations with his teams.

They are all over the 35+ utility player market and the MiLB free agent pitchers.

Seems pretty young, no? Only 32.

You mean like he literally JUST DID to get operations capital into the franchise?

The Operations Debt would like a word with you.

Shocker. They played the fans again.

The only dude of substance will probably be Buxton, unless he too gives up and allows a trade.

Nah, my distain for trolling is normal.

The same one who keep trying to talk Sox fans out of being Sox fans. Sure buddy.

They are actively talking about trading anyone and everyone with a salary.

The Twins are in way worse trouble than the White Sox.

Honestly? I think it puts us into the 75-85 game range. There still is not nearly enough pitching on the front line, and end of the bullpen.

Sizemore's experience overseeing the worst team in baseball might come in handy in Minneapolis this year.

You took your Cubs hat off before you entered?

He doesn't own the whole team.

Yeah, I mean when you lose 121 games, and at least 100 games in three straight years there isn't really much of a chance to spend over it. This isn't an 80 win team that is a couple of holes away. This is a team full for holes with a couple of answers.

I don't think I can recall a stranger season than Colson had. Some days he was a completely unplayable mess, and others he looked like a superstar. I literally have zero idea what to expect from him.

With the complete failure of the minor league system under Chris Getz there really wasn't any choice as to what was going to happen.

The hope is that by the end of 5 years they have their financial feet back under them again, and that baseball labor peace has returned. They have cut payroll, they have a TV deal in place, and now it is about rebuilding from the bottom up so that HOPEFULLY one day we are bringing guys in through the system, instead of mediocrity off of the street. Realistically, this was still a 102 loss team with no hope of contending, and the spectre of a game changing labor agreement on the horizon. while I expect them to spend a few bucks to plug a few holes and fill some innings, they really shouldn't be spending a lot until they guys they are signing could actually be on the next playoff team. If that standard isn't happening, they shouldn't be committing long term dollars to them.

Yeah, they are improving. That's what I wanted to see this year. Things are getting better, especially on the offensive side of the football and with Williams, Keep adding in the trenches and see where this thing goes.

Ok, that is hilarious that I have got you actually reading the comments of Royals articles to try to get a reply up to a castaway comment.
