lmao he clearly reads this board

This will probably be the case for everyone. Blame it on MLB for cutting spring training in half.

This team has never been all that smart in terms of resource allocation. If we really spend $30 million on some utility guys and relievers and call it a day, it would be an absolute disaster.

Kelly's lucky he didn't have to miss 6 months. His injury was in mid October. Even in the worst case scenario he should be back by mid April.

If the Twins manage to get Story and pry Montas away from the A's, they're probably gonna end up finishing 2nd in the division. We currently have an 11 WAR edge on them, getting those 2 probably halves that edge.

I hope Katz likes him and thinks he has a fix, cause I don't really get the appeal otherwise.

I'd be pissed too. If he really hurt it during the bike crash from December and hasn't bothered to have surgery on it till now, it's a massive fuck up.

Hahn said pitching depth was priority #1, then they go and spend $3 million on a guy who had a ERA near 6 last year. If that's a sign of things to come, we're definitely not getting Conforto.

We gave him $3 million? I'm not exactly sure what we see in him, but this guy was DFA'd by Philly last year.

I wonder when he broke it. You have to wonder if not having access to team doctors affected his return timeline.

Ugh, I was hoping the Astros would get worse. I'm still hoping the Dodgers miss out on Freeman so they can go and spend big money on Correa.

Illinois will have to face Houston in the round of 32. Houston is ranked 4th on kenpom. Why the hell do we get screwed every year by the committee?

4.5 WAR isn't worth $25 million a year I guess.

Yeah this makes me think we're not getting any other pitchers.

It better be a minor league deal.

lmao wtf

Oops yeah, I totally read that wrong.

Cruz after the trade last year wasn't that good.

Yeah, Peguero is more or less a throw in. I guess it depends on what you think of Petty. He's still only 18 and throws pretty hard. Our closest comp is probably Kelley, except Petty hasn't had the injury issues thus far.

He has a 2023 option. So it's really 2 years.

Wow they gave up a lot for Gray

One less suitor for Kimbrel too

I don't think it's a matter of why the Sox won't trade him. It's a matter of lack of interest from other teams for what the Sox are asking in return.

https://soxmachine.com/2022/03/12/joe-kelly-white-sox-signing-analysis/ I had no idea Kelly got hurt in the playoffs last year. Apparently, the injury was not bad enough for him to miss the 6 month time that it might have required. We'll see how it goes I guess.

Codi Heuer is still on a plane somewhere.
