Jack Parkman

I think he gets called up sometime in the first 10 days of June.

If the pandemic drags into 2022 I don't even see the owners being willing to negotiate with the MLBPA until full attendance is possible again.

Zips has Giolito as the best pitcher in baseball this year, so there's that. I agree that it's a crapshoot beyond him.

Exactly.

Jon Gray, the same guy that lost 2mph off his fastball in 2020 and got lit up like a cheap Christmas tree?

Lol. You know that if they sign Cruz age will finally catch up to him. The only upside is that he's not a Twin, where if he was he'd surely hit 30+ HR. Cruz wants a 2 year deal from what I've heard. Idk if he gets it at his age.

^^^

I hope it's not a 1 year rental but I'd much rather acquire Taillon than sign Wainwright. However, It's probably Waino because Taillon is arb eligible and probably costs too much for Jerry.

I don't know......but I think for the next 2-3 years it's probable. You want to win championships? Go big or go home. The Padres and Dodgers aren't fucking around.

Nah, it's just about the Sox dude. The baseball gods love to smite them. It's their favorite pastime.

Age.....father time is undefeated.

I'm sorry, but I don't think either guy(especially Lynn) is as awesome of a get as everyone here. I think Lynn is more likely to be what he's always been (a 3-3.5 win guy) than what he was the last couple years. Hendriks is 32 and even though he's really good there's still the risk he becomes Kimbrel. This is the White Sox, where Murphy's law is the law of the land.

Wainwright is much more likely to be DFA worthy in June than Quintana is. It's not even close. All over $3M, which is nothing to a baseball team.

How so?

Fucking TLR......

I'd much rather have had Quintana for 8 than Wainwright for 5. That's just Jerry pinching pennies.

Madrigal is a one tool player but that one tool is elite. One tool players where that tool is the hit and it's a 70-80 have a place in MLB, especially when they play up the middle. Madrigal does....he's Nick Punto if Nick Punto was actually a good hitter. Lots of gork shots, ducksnorts and seeing eye grounders with the occasional double or triple.

That's if Cease can find the strike zone and miss bats.

I can't believe they won't even do this.

If Richards isn't signing here, I want Archer or Walker. If those guys are out of the Sox price range, just save the money and roll with Lopez.

It probably would have been Eaton or Lynn and that's about it.

^^^^^^

If you go on baseball savant guess who Wainwright's #1 comp is for 2020.........you guessed it, 2019 Gio Gonzalez.
