Let us know when you find something about this team that you approve of or like... until then can you keep persistent negative comments to yourself? I’ll even take one for the team and abstain from poop posts if you’ll make this agreement with me. Deal?

White Sox Wednesday coming soon to a winter meeting not near you.

They certainly weren’t honest which is par for the course this time of year. ? shhh — don’t tell others here that

Never heard him referred to that way, does it bring up his AAV in contract negotiations?

Are we there yet?

But no thanks ?

Preach brother Brian, preach.

Just don’t go there ( or anywhere ) with this one.

Check back at 1:25 PST

Yes

I hope it’s to us and includes JD

JD would still be nice

MLBtr: 9:40pm: The Angels and Boras “have had multiple “ownership-level” meetings” regarding Cole, Jeff Fletcher of the Orange County Register writes.

Patient pending “Kenny Williams Stealth Mode” in full operation. ?

Looked to me as very balanced, realistic, and reflective of this teams current stance as well. Its the truth. 2020 isn’t the year. We will have a much better idea of where our needs lie after this season. 1.) We’ll get a major league pulse on Robert, Madrigal, Cease, Kopech, Lopez, and Collins. 2.) We will have a full year of evaluation on Vaughn and can see development on other farm pieces such as Adalfo, Basabe, Walker, Stiever, Gonzalez, Sheets, and Rutherford... etc. 3.) We will see how Rodon, Dunning, and Burger do in recovering from injury. These items give us more time to internally evaluate in house roster options and also will allow us to build up more trade value at potential surplus positions. Now, can we all back off the ledge and look at this glass from another angle?

Ah, thanks. Maybe I’m just remembering all of us thinking the smardzigaax trade has Kenny written all over it.

Man, the new guys around here all seem to hate this team with a passion. Why even post if you’re primarily just going to be pessimistic and full of spite?

I wouldn’t either... and if this is really the market ( which it seems to be )... then I can certainly see a more viable path being a trade for a cost controlled number two type and a 1 year back of the rotation senior citizen. We’ve got a couple months to go and have only missed one major target, despite having the best offer on the table. Some are acting like the sky is falling but by opening day 2020 this team will look much better and will be on the 5 yard line toward contention. By 2021 we should really be cooking.

This. 100% this.

Bringing out the big guns. ?

I thought Hahn became GM in 2013 and the Samadzgrasa trade was 2014.

It was presented to generate discussion. Back off me dude, we’ve all heard it from you many times. Give it a rest... Focus on the team — not me and your opinion of me.

Semien / Samargaizasaehaaaa was largely attributed to Kenny Williams. For at least the first two seasons of Hahn’s position in the GM chair it was believed that Kenny was still running the show.

He’s made one poor deal involving a young player, he whom shall not be named. One bad deal is not a track record.
