  1. The way I look at it the Sox have Giolito for three more years, Cease for five, Kopech & Crochet for six, and Stiever for potentially seven. You also have future free agents and draft picks that could factor into the mix. While I’d love to keep all of Kelley, Thompson, Dalquist, & Vera, the reality is one or two of these guys are likely to get moved at some point because they’re amongst our best prospects and aren’t major league ready, which makes them our most expandable currency. Plus in a Reinsdorf owned organization, the best way to see an increase in payroll is by winning and driving a jump in attendance. If we can actually make the playoffs a few years in a row, we might finally see payrolls approaching the luxury tax threshold and that alone would be worth giving up some potential future production.
  2. Because Reinsdorf can offer a 4/$50M contract, win the sweepstakes, and feel like an absolute baller despite the fact he’s never signed anyone to a nine figure deal.
  3. I’m not seeing the connection between Hendriks and giving up the next wave of pitchers.
  4. I’m sure they don’t, but my guess is Beef either said a little too much that could put him out of favor with his source or he’s throwing some extra shit against the wall and is worried he’ll get outed on certain details (such as this visit with the Sox).
  5. Who knows, but I take us increasing our offer (if true) to be a pretty promising sign.
  6. I really think we land him. Gives La Russa the elite closer he asked for and allows the front office to hype up a free agent signing. Hopefully they wrap this up soon and then trade for Musgrove and sign La Stella. Throw in a backup catcher if need be and call it an offseason.
  7. Isn’t it just the post above? I don’t see it in his feed anymore.
  8. But we won the bidding war for Adam Eaton ?‍♂️
  9. Sonny is pretty damn good, but I agree Musgrove would likely be the better value.
  10. He must of seen you’re post as there is already a response...lol:
  11. Lol...I noticed that too. But his list does make sense to me based on what we’ve heard elsehwhere.
  12. Who would your first choice be? Castillo would cost a ton more and Woodruff just doesn’t seem realistic. Musgrove? Gonzalez?
  13. Not much here but figured it might drive some discussion:
  14. In all honesty, we need to blow this thing up. We don’t have a legit QB, we don’t have an O-Line, our best WR is a UFA and we have little depth at the position. The defense is really good, but is expensive and getting older. Our window to win with this group is quickly coming to an end and I have zero faith in Pace solving all our offensive issues this offseason given our current salary cap & draft pick situations. This draft is loaded with QB talent and we can’t afford to come out of it empty handed. Mitch is not the long-term answer and we are simply delaying the inevitable by signing him a multi-year deal IMO. I’d rather take a QB in the 2nd (Trask / Jones) or 3rd round (Newman) and roll the dice on someone like Winston for a year if we still want to go for it. Even if these guys are long-shots, we need to start investing into the QB position until we finally hit on someone.
  15. And people actually want to commit to Mitch Trubisky as our QB.
  16. Don’t forgot a multi-year contract likely coming for Mitch!
  17. Not good, but Rams are up 11 so this may not even matter.
