Didn't they put out a preliminary type offer to Harper? Or am I misremembering that?

I will say three things here. #1 the Sox apparently don't get credit for targeting Burnes in your world. #2, My ability to evaluate talent and the Sox ability to evaluate talent are two different subjects, and shouldn't be falsely equated. As you probably know, I am not being paid by the White Sox to bring in talent. #3, if you are still that upset over an internet discussion from a year ago, that's too bad. Personally I had forgotten about it.

An update scoping out the details

But the Sox can't evaluate MLB talent.

I really think a deal like this is how Dallas leaves Chicago. The Cano for Dallas thing just sticks with me.

Now this actually makes a lot of sense.

But they can't scout MLB guys...

Bigger than 2/50?

Scheiße

The contract for Rodon isn't even nearly as big of a deal as his health in 22.

Ray wins. Sox place 4 pitchers in the top 11, including Lynn 3rd. 2 of the four were acquired this year in Lynn and Hendriks.

What does that clown know? Fake insider.

You guys are soooo boring with your facts and everything.

Que TimAndersonsBigFish Twitter insider profile.

It is the only scenario that makes sense to not offer him. If they wanted him back, they make the offer to start with, hoping he takes it. If they didn't want him back and thought he wouldn't take the QO, they would have offered it for the draft pick.

TA obviously playing insider and revealing that we will be getting the big fish.

Stroman isn't coming here with our current manager.

Verlander has had a long career of pretty good health, even including his recent surgery. Dude is pushing 3000 innings in essentially 15 years of baseball at the MLB level. That is pretty nuts.

30's, not 50's.

Max is the only one that makes sense at the front of the rotation. Klu makes sense towards the back. Jake makes sense for maybe Charlotte.

You just said they can't evaluate MLB talent, yet you keep finding reasons to disqualify it when there are super clear examples pointed out to you. For some reason you also seem to think that evaluating your own talent isn't evaluating MLB talent, which is also not true.

Seems funny to forget that the previous year he was 5th in the Cy Young voting, but OK. Its also funny that you use James McCann as a detraction when the team plucked him from obscurity on a MiLB deal, got his best years out of him for extremely cheap, and walked away before he got a huge contract and absolutely cratered last year for the Mets. No MLB player evaluations going on there.
