Chicago White Sox

We got to hope that the Mets are prioritizing Realmuto and pitching over the OF. If so, it really does seem that we could be the favorites for Springer. I’m crossing my fingers as he is such a crazy good fit for this club despite being RH. The more I think about it, the more I love the idea of a Springer + Darvish offseason. Add a upside bullpen arm on the cheap (Yates for 1/$6M?) and someone to compete against Cease & Kopech for the 5th spot (Archer for 1/$5M?) and go to war.

I’ll admit I got a chuckle out of this thread

They’re not even close in terms of value. Just for reference, Fangraphs has Marquez as the 22nd most valuable player in baseball, while Clevinger isn’t even an honorable mention. Having four years of team control is worth a ton.

Not sure how I’d feel about a Darvish trade. Obviously the dude was amazing last year, but you’re paying $59M for his age 34 to 36 seasons. Don’t get me wrong, I’d definitely be interested in acquiring, just worried about the price and the potential for a sudden fall-off or injury.

Why would the Astros ever trade Tucker?

The White Sox signed Grandal on 11/21 last year. If they’re planning a similarly aggressive pursuit of Springer, it’s possible we hear something in the next 10 days or before Thanksgiving.

Cishek & Portillo’s had accurate info at one point, so no way it’s Schins who is a complete fraud.

Wow, it really seems like all three may be the same dude which is pretty bizarre.

We literally just got rid of the guy who failed to develop these young pitchers. Maybe give the new guy a shot with the former top 30 prospect with than a full season of starts to his name?

Because Cease has 28 career starts to his name while Lopez has 87?

I wonder if the Cooper firing was a long time coming (relatively speaking) or if the struggles of Cease & Lopez are what drove the change.

You literally just cited an article on Tony La Russa giving playing time to one black SS over another black SS as proof that he’s a super racist. Again, La Russa deserves to be called out for his shitty, borderline racist comments, but implying he is a KKK supporter or white supremacist is beyond fucking ridiculous unless you have much stronger evidence than anything you’ve posted so far.

He’s a troll

Must be a sad life you live that you have nothing better to do on a Saturday night than troll on a White Sox message board.

That or Larry from SouthSideSox

Vazquez’s best offensive season was in a 60 game pandemic fueled season in which he put up a wRC+ of 115. Meanwhile, Grandal has a career wRC+ of 118 across nine seasons. Saying this is all about framing is beyond fucking ridiculous.

There is a lot of talk from one insider.

I get Grandal can be frustrating player at times, but the hate he gets on this board is astounding at times.

Xbox had a bad generation when it came to exclusives, but they now have a ton of 1st party studios and look to be buying more. Acquiring Bethesda is a true game changer and got me to start the generation with them. I love Sony and I hear their new controller is amazing, but getting every Microsoft exclusive for free with Gamepass completely changes the calculus.

What am I crying about? I just find your dumb takes humorous. Literally, you are glorifying the owner of the team “cutting of the knees” of his GM when he could just fire him if he was truly that incompetent. Plus you somehow think giving 76 year old Tony La Russa personnel power is a good thing. Thank god you are only connected to scouts and none of the people that actually make decisions.

What a dumb post

This is way too much dude. La Russa has said some bad, borderline racist shit and deserves to be called out for it, but you are taking it to another level completely.

People should be buying an Xbox Series X and a membership to Gamepass which is the best deal in video games. All 1st party games will be free on the service and given their recent acquisitions their list of exclusives should eventually trump Sony’s. Also, for baseball fans, MLB The Show is being forced to go multiplatform next year I believe.

I don’t think Joc gets more than two in this market and honestly I think he takes a pillow contract and hopes for greener pastures next year.

Sure seems that way, bench coach will be a big one though.
