Chicago White Sox

Moving of what goal posts? I’ve always said I felt that Conforto has been the priority. And lol at “inconsistent” Conforto. You realize Semien has been an above league average hitter two years right? When has Michael not been good except for 2021? Like now you’re just making shit up to be angry about.

Because solid 2B production can be acquired for dirt cheap. And these players that can “cover” RF pretty are horrible defensively. Get the long-term answer for RF while also solving our problem against RHP. His contract will be far more reasonable than what Semien and will allow us to allocate money elsewhere. And for the record, I would not have complained had we signed Semien to this deal, but I’d definitely prefer Conforto + other things.

Who did Gausman sign with? I haven’t seen anything but rumors on him. Regardless, Conforto has always been the target. And give that a few more hours before claiming victory.

Nevermind then!

Conforto is the better play for us…it’s really that simple. I expect an apology from you to the rest of the board if/when it happens later tonight.

Thanks Pal! Is the big piece a bat or pitcher?

Oh shit Moniak! Why fucking wait if you can land a former 1.1 pick!

If you read his tweet, he’s just saying we would never have gone 7 years. I don’t think he’s actually confirming if we did or didn’t make an offer.

Exactly, it’s far more reasonable for a contender, but I feel like you better be able to maximize those first three years for this to make sense.

Passing on one particular deal proves that? I would have prioritized RF & SP over paying someone $175M to pay 2B for us too. Let’s wait a bit long before you start patting yourself on the back for being cheap.

Absolute insanity…I’m 100% ok with overpaying a free agent, but for a team like the Rangers who are a couple years out this seems like a huge mistake.

Avi blew his MLBTR projection of 3/$36M out of the water.

Flight taking off shortly, hoping for a big Sox move by the time I land.

Wow…that’s a total steal if he’s ever healthy

Seems like by tomorrow night things need to be done in order to get all the administrative shit done prior to Dec 2nd. Should be an insane 30 hours or so.

Definitely seems like most of the agent plants come from him, Heyman, & Nightengale.

It’s going to be fascinating to see how this pitching market shakes out. Obviously it sounds like Scherzer & Gausman will make decisions within the next 48 hours. After that, it seems like the losers will then need to pivot to Ray & Stroman or go the trade route. Just not much left after those guys if you want a sure-fire TOR type outside of possibly Rodon, but he clearly comes with his own issues. And it seems like there is a handful of teams are in the mix for these same couple pitchers. Mets, Angels, Dodgers, Giants, & Mariners are the recurring names you keep hearing and then you have possibly us (if you believe Nightengale). Interesting to see the Castillo name already start popping.

Nevermind then…lol.

You know what‘s weird, none of the national writers are talking about Chris Taylor. Like I haven’t seen any rumors on him lately. Seems like with some positional movement finally happening we’d start hearing about him some.

Kimbrel wasn’t the Cubs’ closer in 2020

So doing some online sleuthing, it appears that Scherzer lives in Virginia, so not sure why the West Coast teams would have a geographical advantage. Also, it just so happens that Max and his wife are members of the Humane Rescue Alliance and own multiple rescue dogs. Seems like there is another important guy in the org who is big on dogs ?

COVID shortened games?

Lol…definitely some heavy blogging incoming!

Oh fuck
