    Zero reason this team shouldn’t be at $160M+ in the not too distant future.

    You already touched on Mahomes, but Ryan Tannehill, Josh Allen, & Justin Herbert were all taken in the 6 to 8 range and were the third QB selected in their respective drafts. Point is you can still land a great QB outside of the #1 pick, but you need to keep investing in the position. Hell, Tannehill was a bust with the Dolphins and has found new life with the Titans. Maybe that can be Winston...at a bare minimum, he’s worth a shot over Mitch. Draft a developmental QB in the 2nd or 3rd round and see how things shake out next year. If we use 2021 as a reset year, we could easily end up with a top 10 pick and be in range to select a higher end QB prospect in the 2022 draft. Keeping throw darts until you hit a franchise QB...nothing else really matters until that role is filled IMO.

    Is it? Did we not max it out prior to Rule 5?
  4. Chicago White Sox
    I totally get the uncertainty, but I don’t think he’s gettable for that package if he has a better track record. The Sox would gambling on the 2020 version of Burnes being legit, but the upside would be tremendous. But given the new pitches and the mix shift to his high end secondaries there is reason to believe the former top 50 prospect has finally figured his shit out. If this team really wants to dominate the Central for the next half decade, trade for Burnes and then extend Gioltio & Lynn for five & two years respectively. All of a sudden you’re looking at what could easily be the deepest, most talented rotation in baseball. Perhaps it’s a bit of overkill, but with the overall strength of our lineup & bullpen we could legit pull something like this off. Lucas Giolito - 5 years Lance Lynn - 3 years Corbin Burnes - 4 years Dallas Keuchel* - 2 years Dylan Cease - 5 years Michael Kopech - 6 years Garret Crochet* - 6 years And you’d still have a wave of guys in Kelley, Thompson, Dalquist, & Vera who are three or four years out!

    Don’t tell Balta that!!!
  6. Chicago White Sox
    Unless they make a trade, I’d almost guarantee he’s the one to get DFA’d.

    The past doesn’t automatically dictate the future and there much greater reasons to believe in Hendriks moving forward than Colome.
  8. Chicago White Sox
    I disagree with this entirely. The PV difference like $4M, so the only way that option doesn’t get exercised is if Hendriks goes full Kelvin Herrera and is completely useless come 2024. This is a legit four deal with a way to soften the blow at the very end if things get real bad.

    I’d sign a vet to a minor league contract and have him compete against Collins for the role in Spring Training.

    Burnes for Madrigal + Heuer + Stiever + Sheets. Who says no? Probably the Brewers, but that’s a lot of major league ready or near major league ready pieces for a mid-market team that could be open to retooling. It probably depends on how they view Stiever, but he’s the closest thing we have to a major league ready pitching prospect with any sort of ceiling (not including Kopech). I’m sure most clubs view Kelley as the superior prospect, but I’d imagine the Brewers would want pieces that are closer to the majors to even consider moving Burnes. Still very interesting to think about.
  11. Chicago White Sox
    Starting pitching and what else are you thinking?
  12. Chicago White Sox
    Lol...fully agree. This notion we have so much offense that we can punt the DH position makes me sick to my stomach.
  13. Chicago White Sox
    I really think they’re shopping around a Madrigal + Heuer + Stiever package for a cost controlled starter and seeing if they can get anyone to bite.
  14. Chicago White Sox
    Holy fuck...and some people want to give up on this kid! I’m super optimistic about Dylan having a huge turnaround next year.
  15. Chicago White Sox
    We already have two elite guys in the pen and potentially three with Crochet. Trading assets for Hader would be a poor use of resources IMO.
  16. Chicago White Sox
    What other pitchers have signed extensions at a similar point in time? Tell me why Nola is the outlier? Have you done any research on this at all? You keeping trying to act like 5/$75M is this ridiculously low number, but it’s 23% higher than Nola’s extension just two years ago. If it’s really a big outlier, show me all the other extensions that prove this. And no, Yoan Moncada is not a good comp...pitchers are inherently riskier and that’s baked into the potential cost of a deal.
  17. Chicago White Sox
    Trading Cease for Burnes eliminates part of the logic which is having six viable starters next year. And I know everyone is down on Cease, but you don’t deal him without giving Katz a chance to work his magic. I don’t think some here realize just how damaging Don Cooper was to most of young pitchers.
  18. Chicago White Sox
    @Flash - Your day may finally be coming! Hopefully if a deal comes to fruition the price is much less than you’re anticipating ?
  19. Chicago White Sox
    Thanks! Been out of commission all day, but that would be awesome!
  20. Chicago White Sox
    ?
  21. Chicago White Sox
    Didn’t see this post yet, but same example I just used.
  22. Chicago White Sox
    The Padres literally just traded their over-slot 2020 pick for Blake Snell. The treatment of draft picks is very much different than that of free agents who are actually making a decision to sign with you over other teams.
  23. Chicago White Sox
    My thoughts exactly
  24. Chicago White Sox
    Trading Cease plus a bunch of other stuff is a mistake. Unless you can pull something off with Madrigal, Heuer, & Stiever, I’d rather go the free agency route or see what a guy like Musgrove costs.
  25. Chicago White Sox
    Dodgers & Yankees were the other two teams I was thinking of, but don’t see what starting pitchers they have that would also be expendable.
