Again, which is supposed to be easy if you want it to be.

Aren't you the one who tells us that you can pretty much fail anyone on a physical if you want to when it comes to pro athletes?

When you are paying a game in spring at 100% versus the 80/90 percent happening in ST games, I would bet money that makes a difference. Can you say for sure it wouldn't have happened in Sox camp? No. But also, intensity does matter for those things.

Especially since it seems to indicate a good faith effort to "fix" whatever problem existed wasn't made.

They actually have a history of doing exactly this.

The Rick Hahn treatment is still around apparently.

The injury wasn't the joke, he was mocking the current state of the White Sox.

Ah yes, love Americans who don't know our actual history.

A million dead people IS the case. Civilization literally was established to stop people from killing each other. Modern civilization established that killing people by neglect is still killing people. It's why everyone over a certain age got a measles and smallpox shot, ending the hundreds of millions of deaths over history from those. Well we had until people started taking health advice from quacks and drug addicts.

It's really not. Not allowing people to opt into killing other people is a hallmark of civilized society.

The Bears can make like 75 million in cap space if they want

But salary IS the point, as is age. Also this person literally can't find a regular starting job because of his defense.

What a mess. I wonder the Bears could still sneak in with a lesser offer?

Pretty sure he gets the right after he has been outrighted by a team.

I am sure he has an opt out, which he will 100% use if he isn't on the roster.

Plus they haven't used any cap recaptures to move back money to free up space, which still allows them flexibility going forward.

Yeah, that draft pick comment was a weird flex. The NFL is all about hitting homers on your draft picks, probably more so than any other sport with the way it's caps and life span of players works.

Cool, then we have nothing to worry about until the 2030s.

Here's the thing. The Sox putting short term money in 1 year/short term contracts instead of investing that money into better and/or more plentiful prospects isn't impressive. In fact it is short sighted coming off of yet another 100 loss season with no hopes of competition. Load me up with interesting guys with 6 to 7 years of control, vs. short term guys who will be long gone by the time this team is good again. Buy prospects, every single chance you get. That's long term planning.

How about first we get an Arod and Jeter, and then we worry about where to play them?

Nice Copy/Paste. I wish we had the same sorts of hands off of my body approach to women's health care, but then the same people go back to pretending to be "pro-life".

It's a few bucks to advance the franchise. It is an absolute failure to do otherwise.

Hence there not being room for a small project to get done here.

Which, again, is the entire point. Jerry is absolutely willing to hurt the team to save a few bucks. That hasn't changed with Chris Getz, Rick Hahn, Kenny Williams or any other hire.

Maybe he should stick to podcasting and announcing. Or is that not a thing anymore?
