Chicago White Sox

Or maybe, just maybe it’s because Cohen is a scumbag criminal?

Good god, “Con O For” is the most embarrassing hater nickname I have seen in my entire life. Truly fucking pathetic.

The Mets wanted to add RH hitting OFs to supplement Nimmo, McNeil & Smith and also wanted a legit CF. Conforto didn’t help in either of those areas.

Lol…you’re already celebrating that you were right about the Sox being cheap? Man you really love to be outraged.

100% agree and I doubt are demanding Moniak be in the deal. He’s nothing more then a throw in at this point in time.

Conforto, the big three pitchers (Scherzer, Gausman, Ray), Correa / Seager (these two not happening), & Bryant. We’d still need to fill other holes with trades or less free agent signings, but I’d be content if we landed one of those guys. Schwarber would be dependent on how we addressed RF.

To me, I think he’s just naming a guy who has a high probability of being included in a trade to be able to claim he “called” it later.

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.
