Chicago White Sox

Including Scott Coolbaugh as their hitting coach. Looks like we suddenly have another opening on La Russa’s staff.

While he has his flaws, I think the fact Ray agreed to this deal this fast shows just team friendly this free agent period is going to be.

You thinking Katz is a legit possibility?

Yeah, let’s applaud them for not telling their customers to be upset about a questionable hiring!

Keep em counting!!

Ok if payroll is no constraint, let’s just sign Bauer, Stroman, Hendricks, Springer, LeMahieu, & Cruz. See how easy it was to make us a contender!

Congrats to America and fuck Trump!!

Lol...of course you would love a completely unrealistic & logic lacking proposal since involves getting rid Nick Madrigal and overpaying for one year of Conforto.

You just added ~$65M in payroll cost to one of the best lineups in baseball while trading three cost control assets and a top 100 prospect without addressing any of our pitching issues. Plus Conforto is a free agent after the 2021 season and will be even more expensive. Unless we’re suddenly the Yankees, this is one of the most unrealistic offseason proposals I have seen in some time.

That would be a horrible use of resources IMO. A big part of Grandal’s value is the ability to play frequently. If you don’t like Collins at the backup, go get cheap defensive-minded veteran. That should come fairly cheap in this marketplace.

Why is a good second catcher necessary with Grandal? That logic I don’t really get since he should be able to start a ton of games which makes the backup catcher spot less of a concern than normal.

Even if it means you can’t upgrade RF?

Who is happy other than Jerry?

That really sucks and could easily be a casualty of La Russa.

Still hilarious

100% agree. In the world of social media, people should be held responsible for their dangerous / violent rhetoric as there are enough wacko’s out there who will respond accordingly. Not quite as bad, but fundamentally it’s somewhat similar to swatting. Trump Jr may not be carrying out the action, but he’s looking to inspire a physical response which too often becomes violent.

Lol...tell me that’s not real!

Good riddance...hope these domestic terrorists rot in a jail cell for a long time.

Steven Bannon should spend some time in jail for saying this shit. What a horrible fucking person.

POTY

Great post.

Hate what? Last offseason? Our big two additions combined for 3.5 wins in a 60 game season which is fantastic . Yes, Edwin, González, Mazara, & Cishek were busts, but at least they didn’t require any multi-year commitments.

Still would be a fantastic offseason.

Thank you...it’s absolutely crazy and we’d likely have another four years of Trump in office.

The difference is there absolutely zero basis of foul play this time
