Not really. They had Madrigal, a minimum guy doing a good job. Replaced him with a more expensive , less productive guy. Then replaced him with an even more expensive even less productive guy. I had no issue with the Sox acquiring Kimbrel. I did have a problem with them giving up Madrigal , and I mentioned it right away. It was going to cost you a lot more to get what he brought. It’s costing them a lot more for lesser players. I am assuming the Kelly signing means they have found a Kimbrel taker, but I would never have thought Harrison was their 2B solution, so that assumption may be wrong too. Except for2005, the only year the White Sox ever won a playoff series in 99.99% of the living populations lifetime, these type of signings have mostly blown up in their face. And it seems likely it will happen again. It would have been nice if when it was time for the rebuild, JR realized part of the problem was the guys whose decisions hardly ever seemed to work out, and hired someone else to give it a shot.

Has Brett Lawrie’s feet healed yet?

I'm pretty sure the Sox has something else in mind for 2B or they probably would have kept Cesar.

Cesar Hernandez is a younger , cheaper, better player.

He was even worse with Detroit in 2019.

He has been awful in the AL.

So you probably have the same source. Didn't the fraud suggest the Sox already had a trade set up for an Oakland pitcher several days ago?

I could almost understand if he wasn't owed $24 million next year as well.

MlBN cleared out their schedule for Free Agent frenzy. Now they run the same show 3 or4 times in a row.

If he did, if looks like he picked them right back up.

Almost 39 owed $48 million. That's about as big of a nothing burger there is.

Whu would anyone want Cano?

Then there should be plenty available for next to nothing during the season.

I've heard that but it seems the Sox have had a tough time. The Braves won the WS trading for underperforming OF.

As much as Conforto is a great fit, if the choice is him or a really good 2B, the 2B is my choice. Strong up the middle is nice. I also see no way Leury could play 150 games

Another problem with trading Kimbrel is these teams have sold no tickets for 3 months. Historically, most teams payrolls go down after a longer work stoppage.

He makes Lance Lynn look small.

Stoney dashing all hope for a RF.

Company mouthpiece.

Would be really strange for the Sox to exercise Kimbrel's option, but then salary dump trading him. Its one reason I never understood the exercise.

Yes, I like him too. Never understood the hate. I know some don’t like that he doesn’t go Hawkeroo , but he is a national broadcast. Locals should be homers like Hawk. National , I think Buck does a good job without sounding like he just came out of broadcaster school.

Sure is nice of RH to contact this dope and tell him he’s so busy.

It's Tony. He got his Just for Men in. Looks a lot trimmer. Maybe the best shape of his life.

I think , if anything, it’s for the look. Supposedly no contact, signing or making a trade an hour or so later makes it appear it was NBA type cheating going on. Plus I am sure agents are getting offers from multiple teams. Not much time for negotiation. I think most teams will give their offer, if it isn’t taken, quickly move on to plan B. They should have their plans in order. I think Friday and Saturday will be a lot of fun.
