Jon Morosi ‏@jonmorosi 2h2 hours ago Mike Ilitch never pursued Max Scherzer once he said no to $144 million last spring. My story: http://www.foxsports.com/mlb/just-a-bit-ou...sengaged-012015 … @FOXSports

Talk about the present value of the deal. http://www.cbssports.com/mlb/writer/jon-he...ore-than-lester

Michael Moore who conducts surprise interviews on people to catch them off balance, along with misleading and lies about what he wants to ask, plus some selective editing of those interviews for his films, should be an expert on exactly what a coward is.

The Bulls need health and their depth to win. They never were going to win anything with multiple starters out or hurt. They still haven't really played as a whole team this year. The stretch they were almost all healthy was their best basketball of the year. None of that is coincidence.

Yeah, I would walk away from the girl for sure. If they are willing to cheat in a marriage, I sure wouldn't trust her.

QUOTE (ewokpelts @ Jan 19, 2015 -> 05:47 PM) I suspect they'll get a new savior. And another fall in attendance.

QUOTE (LittleHurt05 @ Jan 19, 2015 -> 03:17 PM) Carcillo suspended 6 games. Wish it was 37 games. You can't take the Carcillo out of Carcillo.

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Jan 19, 2015 -> 03:35 PM) 2015: $22 million 2016: $21 million 2017: $21 million Plus large money bonuses for reaching HR milestones between 660 and 763 (up to $9 million per year). QUOTE (witesoxfan @ Jan 19, 2015 -> 03:35 PM) He also 39 years old, hasn't played in a live MLB game in more than a year, and is owed $61 million over the next 3 years. He also has 10/5 rights which he could very well exercise. Beyond that, the Sox are not that desperate at 3B with a platoon of Bonifacio and Gillaspie. Also, Rick Hahn is the general manager. Williams is far, far less involved in that and he'd even pass on Alex Rodriguez at this point. Realistically you have to imagine the Yankees will pretty much pay his contract if another team will take on that headache. Reality is that no one is going to do that.

QUOTE (Chilihead90 @ Jan 19, 2015 -> 03:45 PM) I think there is a pretty good chance Kang is better than any 2B/3B we have in our system. If that was really the thought, he would have gone for WAY higher than $16 million for four years.

QUOTE (ewokpelts @ Jan 19, 2015 -> 11:33 AM) and when they snagged maddon, the media was masturbating all over him and the "next year is now" narrative. and when they signed lester, it was as if they all but won the world series. And when they fail to have another .500 season?

Scratch that, make that $66 million more than the Tigers offered. Anyone still think we should have gone after Max?

QUOTE (ewokpelts @ Jan 19, 2015 -> 08:55 AM) Sox won a world series, and not much changed. And that was with cub teams that were horrible in 05-06 Look at Cubs attendance and tell me nothing has changed.

QUOTE (LittleHurt05 @ Jan 18, 2015 -> 09:05 PM) Hawks now tied for 3Rd with Winnipeg. Not exactly how you want to be playing with a long road trip starting Wednesday. The team has really fallen down a notch since Crawford got back. It isn't his fault or anything... that is just the timing. They just aren't as crisp right now. Too many atypical mistakes.

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Jan 19, 2015 -> 08:02 AM) I don't know how anyone would get this from his statements while he was with our org, but people still say it, I guess it sells. You don't have to throw a juvenile temper tantrum to prove you "care". Dunn even changed his entire off-season after 2011 to try to fix the problem. If that doesn't tell you he "care"s I don't know what does.

It is cute to see the Cubs ownership insecure about their own product. It tells me that Cubs ownership has the White Sox progress in the back of their minds, otherwise Ricketts dismisses the question instead of giving a response like a message board poster would. If the White Sox can overachieve a bit, and the Cubs continue their floundering under .500 we could see the start of a real shift in this town.

So Max got another year and $24 million over his last and final offer from the Tigers.

QUOTE (Jose Abreu @ Jan 18, 2015 -> 08:00 PM) Dan Hayes ‏@CSNHayes 25m25 minutes ago Sounds like a lot of White Sox position players plan to arrive early to spring camp in Az., some up to two weeks. That is awesome.

Disappointed? Really? After this winter, that is what you got? Sounds like the kid who got the five big things he asked for at Christmas who is crying that they didn't get #6 on their list. Hahn and the White Sox knocked it out of the park this winter. Between last year and this year they have moved the rebuild up at least one year, if not two. Even if they don't win this year, they have set themselves up with a really nice window to be contenders, and they didn't hurt the future to do it. This off-season has been beyond my wildest dreams, and I couldn't be more happy about it.

QUOTE (credezcrew24 @ Jan 18, 2015 -> 01:38 PM) With Ken Rosenthal reporting "Some execs now believe (James Shields) is headed for a four-year deal, perhaps in the $70 million-$80 million range" I think the White Sox need to look into him. Shields would provide a post 2015 rotation guarantee that would be needed if Samardzija leaves. I'd rather spend the extra for a Samardjiza extension.

QUOTE (Chilihead90 @ Jan 18, 2015 -> 02:08 AM) 12 Monkeys TV premiere was.....confusing I'd say. I'm going to read some reviews and then watch Ep. 2 and see if it makes a little more sense. Not sure I like them changing Brat Pitt's character to a girl though. I've got it on the DVR. I LOVED the movie, so I am trying out the series.

QUOTE (Rowand44 @ Jan 18, 2015 -> 09:28 AM) It's a disgrace that Brian Anderson didn't make the top 10 for CF's. I'm sure this list was made pre-The Return.
