Chicago White Sox

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.

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.
