Chicago White Sox

Lol...I love it!

What happened to that Cubs insider cat that got everything wrong the last couple offseason?

Would be an incredibly lackluster addition IMO.

They have been deleted tweets?

I feel like we’ll be signing a B tier OF sometime this week and this story is just our front office reestablishing expectations with the fanbase. That being said, saying Jerry Reinsdorf doesn’t “pay nine figures for anyone” in the year 2020 is one of the most pathetic statements I have heard in regard to a sports owner in my lifetime as a fan. A $100M contract is nothing crazy in this day and age and acting like it is fucking ridiculous.

In a 60 game sample, I hope we’re not the team buying into that.

POTY

When I say top prospects, I mean guys that the major publications (BA, BP, FG, Pipeline) consider to be top 100 prospects. In all honesty, I feel like we’ve traded very few. The only guys I can come up since we last won the World Series are Frankie Montas, Erik Johnson, Addison Reed, Gio Gonzalez, & Ryan Sweeney. That’s pretty much nothing in a 15 year period.

What top prospects have they traded in all honesty?

They aren’t trading Crochet, he’s probably more untouchable than Vaughn or Kopech.

If you think he’s going to fall off a cliff for some reason that’s fine, but he’s been a premier pitcher for the last 2 1/2 seasons.

On a one year deal it’s fine, but I wouldn’t go multi-year with him in this environment

Seriously, James has taken plenty of shots at Jerry, the front office, the coaching staff, and the players. Accusing him of “carrying water” or whatever the phrase is laughable.

He’s a premier pitcher whether you like it or not and he’s wayyyyyyyyyyyyy better than Tanaka

It began with me calling you Don Cooper ?

It’s definitely a plus

That may be true, but not sure a big potential cash suck is something these guys want on the books if / when they look to sell.

I doubt that matters in all honesty.

I don’t think he’s ever going to operate that way and his partners would still be around, so kind of shittty & selfish to place that burden on them.

What’s that? Durable?

Are you talking about Harper?

No idea, but kind of shitty he throws out names left and right, but then says something vague like this. Even fake insiders should have some integrity!

No idea where to put this and obviously coming from Cishek there needs to be a high degree of skepticism, but for the sake of conversation:

Pretty sure we made fun of you for making excuses for the coaching staff.

Their wives travel with them the entire time too?
