I wouldn't have traded MiLB Nico Hoerner for Luis Robert, nor MLB Nico.

One team cutting costs doesn't make the rest of the free agent market "false" especially when you are trying to compare the two players and contracts in question without actually doing it.

And that is where the ceiling comes into account. Again, if we don't get that kind of an offer, I am more than content with sitting on him, like we should have done with Cease.

Look at the free agent market. Even Luis Robert for 2/3 of a season is worth his contract. That is a non-factor in 2025.

We don't need another utility type player as a central part of a trade like this. I also wouldn't expect a team to take on Colson Montgomery for a high level MLB guy

So did Lenyn Sosa. Would you trade him for Luis Robert?

Thankfully that is all fixed... oh.

Don Cooper is with you, but I don't see how you hold down the offense enough to keep things decently in balance.

Everybody stares at a trainwreck.

To be fair, I would always put more weight on a major league experience, vs a minor league one, but maybe that is just me.

Cool, maybe one will pan out.

Make a million dollars this year and you would to.

Which may well mean they got froze out with the Sox and that is part of the rationale as well.

Businesses are always going to orient themselves to the most profitable sectors of a market. I would hate to be trying to make a living on the Sox back right now. I'd probably be on a message board somewhere telling fans how great everything is soon going to be.

With Dec 15 quietly ending the previous signing period, a new thread for new signings and rumors.

X is one of the worst out there. It's a total Echo chamber.

Oh I don't trust the government at all, but I trust the for profit fear-mongering media even less. But from a common sense standpoint, I would never expect the military to public disclose their Top Secret military base defense protocols for all of enemies to see so that they would know exactly how to attack us. That's just stupid and reactionary.

You are correct in that I am not doom scrolling and expecting the US military to release state secrets to make me feel better.

So glad we had to keep him on the 40 man roster to keep from losing him.

If this a MLB deal, someone is getting cut for Christmas.

5 other seasons since 1960 have ended with a team in the 40's for wins besides the White Sox last year. No team has ever done it back to back. Then again, no team had ever lost 121 games in one season either, so who knows.

Just instantly the dumbest set of moves this off season.

Well this is where scouting would come in handy...
