Chicago White Sox

Apparently we plan to use a little here and a little there so we can find slightly below league average payrolls.

It’s truly sad that our offseason was Grandal, Wheeler, or bust.

Sounds like they’re getting Rendon.

Well now that you’ve already shared some info, can you tell us how likely a trade is with the Red Sox?

Way too much punctuation

The Hahn comments I was referring to was earlier were him saying that every so often they get an interesting trade offer late on day 3 of the winter meetings that blows things up and this year it came a day early and they were considering it. No other context, but weird for him to be so forthright with Merkin about active trade discounts.

I think Olney mentioned it first. If you are referring to Price.

You think something is going down with us and the Red Sox?

Yesterday was my wife’s birthday so I knew something would leak out right before I got home. Now she’s out of town and shit can go down whenever!

He just mentioned to the press they had an interesting trade offer they were pondering. For a guy who tries to stay quiet & disciplined, it was very odd.

Exactly, you don’t start talking to the press about a David Price salary dump and call it interesting. The return of Sale, right or wrong, would blow up the internet.

I’m just saying based on how odd his comments were. And I don’t think Hahn & Sale had any beef, it was moreso a KW issue and I think they ultimately squashed it.

I will say those bizarre Hahn quotes from earlier today suggest Sale.

The only insider faker than teorey

He already cost us Wheeler, he better not cost us another impact player!!

For the love of god stop pretending to be an insider bro, it’s fucking embarrassing.

You think he’s legit or that Bowden is just a hack?

Ban him!!!

POTY!!!

The internet is weird...

League average ISO jumped up exactly 22 points from 2018 to 2019 (thank you juiced ball), which is identical to his improvement.

Mazara makes way more sense if you are pivoting to Rendon being your big addition.

This is just stupid. Free agency is always central part of a rebuild no matter how badly you want to act like we should only rely on internal guys. Failure to supplement appropriately will almost certainly result in a bad outcome for us.

It’s really that simple. He’s definitely a guy you take a chance on when you’re not trying win.
