Chicago White Sox

Would make some sense obviously.

You think the Sox may actually be in the mix?

Mets, Dodgers, Angels?? White Sox?? ?

Where did I say “win”? I said could “work out”. If you want to maximize your chances to win the next three years, Schwarber & Marte could make a huge difference.

Not sure how to take this signing. Financially it doesn’t change things, but do the Angels even have a rotation spot open after this? Seems like they’re now six deep.

I’d be disappointed too, but if paired with a trade for say Ketal Marte it could work out.

? Lance Lynn, Mike Minor, & Kyle Gibson were all amazing B/C tier signings that paid off in spades.

Agree. Which is why when Harold said he was the Sox’s top target it made some sense.

Imagine Schwarber being Hahn’s big move and it not happening until the lockout settled. It would be a brutal couple months for Soxtalk.

3/$120M is exactly what MLBTR predicted. Honestly, I’d love for the Sox to be in this thing right now and offering those exact terms.

I’ll wait to see the terms first, but the player makes a ton of sense for the Rangers.

Story will require a significantly larger commitment than Conforto and candidly speaking the Coors factor makes me nervous. That’s not to suggest he will flop by leaving, but makes me nervous enough to be worried.

Cohen not sacrificing the 14th overall pick if he can just spend money elsewhere to fill the need.

Source?

I don’t get why people would hate Conforto, but you’ve said this before. Care to elaborate? He’s not the three outcome hitter that Sox typically despises.

A 98 wRC+ against RHP isn’t solving our needs.

It still seems crazy to me that Cohen would push a $300M luxury tax payroll, but who the fucks knows at this point.

What’s interesting is the Mets said they were going to pivot to Gausman if they missed out on Scherzer? Did Gausman decide not to wait on them or are the Mets winning the Mad Max sweepstakes? Or maybe it’s all BS and they just resign Stroman?

That Gausman deal is super fucking reasonable.

If Scherzer is too rich for us, zero reason we shouldn’t be involved here.

Lol I fucking hate NSC

Very weird. Either Cohen is purposely leaking stuff to these guys or the Mets are simply being used to drive up the price for other teams.
