Chicago White Sox

Did they really protect TLR though? Seems like every journalist & columnist ripped the hire.

Anyone else think it’s weird they haven’t announced the coaching staff yet? Seems like we’re looking at the following with McEwing possibly in the 1st base / 3 base coach mix: Bench Coach: Miguel Cairo Pitching Coach: Ethan Katz Bullpen Coach: Curt Hasler Hitting Coach: Frank Menechino Ast Hitting Coach: Howie Clark 1st Base Coach: Darryl Boston? 3rd Base Coach: Jose Oquendo?

Wow, I thought he was out of options, but if he has one left it’s an ever bigger no brainer.

I think Bruce is right...Rodon & Mazara will get non-tendered, all others return. Lopez is worth tendering a contract at his price as he could be released during spring training for practically nothing.

Fully agree on what constitutes spending.

They should have used Stan’s Donuts

I will say it would be very White Soxish to leak they’re after Springer while secretly pursing Bauer.

And probably the biggest flag with Portillo’s is he somehow has access to their comprehensive “list” of targets in order of preference and gets updates on that list in real time.

Lol...fair enough!!

That’s why I was asking, there wasn’t even a #Bauer where you could have naturally come across it.

I can’t help it, I’m addicted to baseball rumors, even ones from fake burner accounts

I’m all fucking in now.

How did you find this out of curiosity?

Lol at this fucking fraud. Never mentions Bauer even once as a real possibility and now our interest is “very real”. I’m still willing to give Portillo’s a shot, but this Cishek offshoot is just trying to see what sticks.

Bauer + Joc + $6Mish reliever

Feel like a good time for a Stan’s Donuts burner account to arise and announce that Bauer is actually our primary target.

Because all our key pieces are here for the next three years bedsides Abreu. If we add an arm, trade for someone that can help from 2021 to 2023, not just next year. At least the Clevinger deal would have theoretically given us a TOR starter for three playoff series. Fuck, I’d rather trade a piece like Kelley for Musgrove than give up Cease or Dunning for one year of Lynn. At least then you still have multiple major league ready pieces to serve as depth.

I love it when a Twitter “insider” likes the post from his other burner account.

That’s fair.

Exactly. And maybe that doesn’t work for the Rangers and in that case start exploring other options.

If he’s the only TOR arm that can acquired by trade and that’s the price, I’d 100% rather sign Kluber & Richards and pray that two of them, Cease, & Kopech can be quality starters next year and save my chips for the trade deadline.

He’s not eligible for a compensatory pick and those might not exist with the next CBA anyways.

100% Thompson and it’s not close
