Chicago White Sox

I mean, depends on what they get for him. That being said, going under $80M would be a complete embarrassment after gaining some momentum in the 2H.

The Ishbia’s are the majority owners of the White Sox right now. They may not have a controlling interest, but they have gained significant influence with their recent buy-outs and the future deal that’s in place to take over the franchise. While I certainly don’t think any major moves happen this offseason (think A tier free agents), I don’t think anyone can say with a level of certainty that we won’t see any operating changes until 2029. I believe we start seeing the Ishbia impact, even if moderate, as soon as this offseason.

Vientos is RH and is a low OBP player. Don’t think that would interest Getz much.

This is so going to be you this Christmas

Or maybe Getzy is planning to use that big new Japanese scout to pursue some big Japanese free agents…

Garcia will slot into RF for the Phillies per their beat writer. Despite citing the OF as a possible need for the Sox, Garcia was never going to be a realistic option for us given his free swinging ways. IMO, this only helps the value of Robert as mediocre corner OFs are getting decent sized salaries.

At least we’re seeing some movement. I expect at least one free agent signing for the Sox this week.

Who you thinking?

Where is he saying this out of curiosity?

Then why pick up the option? Either they trade him for some prospect or they hold until the deadline. I think a worst case scenario is us not eating any money and getting a post hype prospect like Acuna in return. I don’t think that will happen, but would be very disappointing.

I figure if I keep saying it, it’s bound to eventually come to true right? That money we’ll save in a Robert trade has to be redeployed elsewhere.

We really need some White Sox action. Hopefully things are just slow because Getz & Boras are working out the final details for Bellinger and then the rest of the dominoes will start falling.

I need this dude on the South Side tomorrow

Nope, and please don’t think about waking me up right now!

So what we all thinking? Robert + cash to Mets for Ryan Clifford? Quero to the Phillies for Crawford? Use the savings on Robert to sign Bellinger per Boras riddle? Meidroth, 2B Teel, CA* Bellinger, RF* Vargas, 3B Montgomery, 3B* Clifford, 1B* Sosa, DH Baldwin, LF# Crawford, CF* Now we fucking boys!

That’s the type of dumb petty bullshit I could believe. It also doesn’t mean Jerry isn’t willing to eat some money for other teams. When it comes to insiders, I will always place Ken Rosenthal’s info above all else.

That’s nothing but speculation and likely related to Jerry’s direct beef with Cohen.

Did Heyman actually say this? You actually read the article?

Direct quote from this Rosenthal article in the Athletic:

Yes, 100% I do.

The not willing to eat money has already been disproven though no?

No!

Justin Ishbia?

Based on the riddle it sounds like they might be

You mad we’re going after studs now?
