What are the reasons to be mad? What free agents have Sox missed on so far this offseason?

Here’s the thing: if we all agree that they are ALC favorites, then we also must agree that they can win the AL. The playoffs are an absolute crapshoot. If they get into the tournament, they can win it all.

Do you guys think the Sox should be ALC favorites?

This team might win the fucking American League without additions and I feel like everyone is mad. It’s absolutely absurd.

The Sox could’ve offered Wheeler $150 million and he still goes to Philly.

Baseball Prospectus Top 10 White Sox Prospects
Y2Jimmy0 replied to South Side Hit Men's topic in Pale Hose Talk
I’ve interacted with Avery Weems. Nice kid. 6th round senior sign. I wouldn’t rank him in the top 40 prospects. Much more likely to be org depth. Very puzzling. Also, Heuer no longer has prospect status. -
I mean that’s partly true. I know they’ve offered Springer. I have no idea whether they get him. If they don’t though, they’ll be spending in the next tier because there really isn’t a first tier at that point.

No idea. I don’t listen to that station.

I think there’s a chance that Trevor Bauer and JT Realmuto are the only players who will get $100 million this offseason. So in that case, Jesse might be right.

That's not what I'm arguing. I've never once said that. I don't think he starts in the majors personally.
-
This is absurd and just small sample size nonsense to be as frank as I can be. Vaughn isn't a plus defender at 1B but he's fine. Average 1B defense for a long time.
-
Never look at professional stats from a college player's draft year. They're meaningless. Vaughn is the best 1B prospect in baseball and deserves the billing. Plus power, plus hit and will be a big OBP guy. Elite level aptitude at the plate, exit velocity numbers as well. Paul Konerko is a much better comp for Vaughn. Dude is going to mash.
-
What is your reasoning as to why he's not a 30 home run guy? What is the skepticism based on?
-
I'll say this: agents are leaking the Mets and Jays as suitors for everyone like crazy. Be careful how seriously you take public reports.

Dodgers sign Bauer (3/102, opt-outs, 40-45-17)
Y2Jimmy0 replied to Jose Abreu's topic in The Diamond Club
I think so but I'm curious how long they'd actually wait on Springer -
Dodgers sign Bauer (3/102, opt-outs, 40-45-17)
Y2Jimmy0 replied to Jose Abreu's topic in The Diamond Club
Yeah it's definitely not a bad sign at all. I was just saying that I've heard smoke around Springer that I've shared. Nothing on Bauer substantial though. -

Y2Jimmy0 replied to Jose Abreu's topic in The Diamond Club
For what it's worth, I've heard nothing about Bauer. -
Springer's "offer" is for more than that from what I've heard. Also, they offered Zack Wheeler 5/125 last year and even his agent though the deal was done. There might be a cutoff but it's not $80 million over 4.
-
Mets are targeting Realmuto first. I think that’s their focus right now

Thanks man. I don’t have any specifics on money. I think $23.5 per sounds realistic though. No idea on number of years.

Would you guys trade Jonathan Stiever, Leury Garcia and Matt Foster for Bryant? That’s the kind of deal the Cubs are probably looking at from teams. Two big league contributors and a pitching prospect. Bryant won’t have a huge market at $19 million.
-
The White Sox offered 5/125 for Wheeler and the indication was that they had him. Sox have tried to land Springer in a similar fashion. This isn’t a Machado situation where you’re just waiting to get beat but it doesn’t seem like Springer is in any hurry and honestly he shouldn’t be. Everyone should wait for the Mets at this point. Stuff should start to move a bit after December 2 once the market gets super flooded. I doubt players are knocking down the door to play in Toronto though. They typically have to be the highest offer to land a superstar in similar fashion to the Sox.

Completely agree. I think he's a starter in Birmingham and comes up out of big league bullpen late in season.

White Sox coaching staff announced (List in first post)
Y2Jimmy0 replied to knightni's topic in Pale Hose Talk
Nothing on Bauer at all. Sox are one of the teams on Springer. No idea how advanced anything is.
