More interesting quotes from yesterday https://chicago.suntimes.com/sports/worst-of-rebuild-should-be-over-for-white-sox-hahn-says/

At about a 3rd standard deviation confidence level... yes.

There have been plenty of superstar free agencies in the last 20 years. Again, if you are only going to use Arod, that is pretty disingenuous.

It doesn't need to be a duo to be a comparison point.

If your work is going off of a single offer, you are missing a rather large body of work when it comes to free agents signing with bad teams.

How do you know this on the first part? As to the 2nd part that tells me the opposite. They are really interested in the guy and they wanted to get him here even in a worthless year to try to sell him on coming here. That is real interest.

I am impressed how you can manage to call bullshit, and then type an outright falsehood in the very next sentence. The history of playing signing huge contracts with awful teams is incredibly well documented. If you don't see it, it isn't because it isn't true, it is because you don't want to see it.

See you in 5 years then.

Why is this a surprise to anyone? This is what the early stages of a rebuild look like. It is what they have always looked like.

It felt to me like they want to make a run at him, but they also don't want to raise expectations for it to happen when the odds are that it does not happen.

This is exactly how I took from the context.

I finally watched his last broadcast and I bawled. I am going to miss him.

I was one of the very few saying this would be a bad year and don't be surprised if the young players struggled. That said, next year will be better.

Opening day 2019, yes. July 1, 2019, probably September 1, 2019, maybe. Opening day 2020, probably not. July 1, 2020, if he isn't blocking someone the rebuild has bigger problems than not signing Gio.

He's done for 18
