Weird, I keep getting told how we have too many pitchers.

Or not loaded up the roster with old middle relievers and utility players knowing that DFAs happen all winter and spring long...

Oh man, Sox fans are so lucky to have had these last 45 years.

So you think he was trying to move the Twins? Or that there is no basis for thinking this guy was going to move a team he bought, just like the last team he bought? Though as an ex-IRS and real estate mogul it is pretty ironic to NOT hear Jerry's motives questioned by your own standards, especially as the one guy in this conversation who made a conditional agreement to move the Chicago White Sox.

If they aren't going to play Colas, I would be on board for a project like this.

Ah yes, we have done nothing and we are all out of ideas. Wonderful. We could be in talent accumulation mode, but why.

You love to say this, but again, it is the 121 loss season that actually SHOULD be dictating roster building for the future, and instead we still keep adding marginal players with no future to this organization, so I have to keep saying it. But again, you SHOULD understand that by now, but choose to say otherwise.

Cool, you get his point now. No need to keep chasing him around then.

Cool, which is quite literally my point. Even if Slater is marginally better than this other kid in 2025, it doesn't matter. 2025 is a lost year. I care about the future, and not yet another in a string of 100 loss seasons, and have the goal of amassing as much longer term talent as possible. If he fails, he fails, but he still has a better chance of being around when the Sox are decent again than Slater does. I will never understand wasting 2025 ABs on short term anything.

Typically the out of town guys do much better reporting big Sox info than the locals, as they aren't scared about losing access.

Of course, who else would own a puppy and kitten chipper?

Now that would have been a solid 16 inch tribute.

Which makes total sense with his flagstar business and a new $80 million house being built somewhere else... oh wait.

I feel bad explaining to you that Non-Disclosure Agreements are a thing.

You might want to respond to the post that thinks a 32 year old free agent will be.

The prospect experts have Slater being around this team for years?

I am not at all convinced of that, especially when control and age is factored in. The kid has years to figure it, vs a rando in yet another 100 loss seasons, which should be the point. It's not about 2025. It's about 2030.

Much better than, we tried to recreate the Brooklyn Dodgers and why aren't fans supporting us...

The only reason Slater is looking at regular play us Chris Getz.

Chris Getz shouldn’t count.

The original connects were untouchable. This looks like a 16 inch softball team stole the logo for their t-shirts.

They need to knock it off with the 83 look. It sucks and it is played out.

You going to bet your house on it?

Guys like Iriarte always do better in the minors because those guys aren't as disciplined as major leaguer hitters. They expand their zones less and less at each level, until it tops out with the best at the top. It is quite literally the point.
