Chicago White Sox

I’m not suggesting Hansen will become a bonafide TOR starter down the road, but I think he’ll rebound substantially next year because honestly there is nowhere but up for him at this point.

Majors: Lopez Moncada Abreu Minors: Robert Hansen Sheets

I’m starting to think this guy just may be legit.

Or just look at the pictures, which definitely don’t lie.

Based on his last two tweets, he claims to have inside info for the Padres, Giants, & Nationals. I call bullshit.

I believe that’s Monday.

If I could get each for 10/$300M deals or less, I’d 100% add both. And honestly, the only team I feel like could be in the way of that is the Phillies and I’m still not 100% sure they’re willing to spend as stupidly as their owner originally promised.

See you Monday then!

I have no idea what your first paragraph even means. Like it’s literally a series of sentences that all conflict with one another. If Machado signs with the Padres, he’s most definitely playing over 51% of his games in California. And an accountant has zero bearing on that. And what the fuck does Phil Mickelson’s home state have anything to do with a baseball player’s effective tax rate?

Has a much lower income tax which is far important to a guy signing a $250M contract whatever regressive taxes you are referring to.

Damn straight!

But I thought he just didn’t like the White Sox?

Lol...I only make promises that come with no consequences!

Machado to the Sox is happening in the next 96 hours...book it. This is exactly what we needed to go full circle and finally get over the finish line.

?

So much wrong with all your posts on this, but this is just wow worthy that anyone could actually believe this.

This may be the single dumbest post I have ever seen in my life. Like you are fucking clueless bro. Go back to your “the Sox only have 30% of the market based on twitter follows” because that at least gave me a good chuckle. This just makes me angry. You do know the Bulls & Sox are separate ownership groups right? Jerry Reinsdorf can NOT give the Bull’s claim to the earnings of the business to the White Sox under any circumstance. Also, Comcast owned 20% of the network before, not sure where it’s been mentioned their stake is decreasing with the loss of the Cubs. Regardless, the Sox make money off the network first & foremost from the $50M+ they receive for their broadcast rights. I will guarantee any dividends they take from owning a stake in the actual network is much smaller.

Your business acumen is poor to quite poor. The White Sox receive money for the broadcast rights to their games. That is something that has to be negotiated with the owners of the network, which includes three groups that aren’t the Bulls. The White Sox may get a slight benefit from being packaged with the Bulls, but Comcast, the Cubs, & the Blackhawk ms are NOT going to agree to something that is completely unfair and costs them a ton of money. Also, we’ve been over your market share nonsense numerous times. There is no rule you can only watch one team or the other. My father is a former Sox season ticket holder who occasionally puts on a Cubs game. My father-in-law is a Cubs fan who casually watches the Sox. There are many people in Chicago who follow both teams, which can help bolster rating when things are going well. And the ability / potential to touch many consumers at once is incredibly valuable for marketing folks and why we having a bigger TV contract than many other franchises. No one with any amount of intelligence says “the Sox only have 30% of the market, so they should get paid what the Indians do” because when Cleveland is doing well they’re still a tiny little b**** of a market. The same does NOT apply when playing in Chicago.

This post is simply pathetic and I’m done trying to knock you back to reality. If you want to live your life in a little Negative Nancy bubble go for it. Just do us all a favor and stick to your self-created pessimism thread. You’re honestly becoming a Greg like character and the sad part is I know you’re better than that.

Team Hunter & Wes all the way. Can’t stand Bananas at all and Leroy is such a whining little b****. Really hope Hunter goes after them early on.

Fathom has been pretty optimistic as of late. You continue to assume the worse all the time. Saying Manny or Bryce will only sign here if it’s their only option is ridiculous and not based on any sort of logic or reason. Money was always going to be the primary driver for these guys, but if it comes down to other factors I’d argue the Sox offer the most compelling package. The Phillies & Padres aren’t exactly desirable teams no matter how your try spinning it.

And this is you once again being completely irrational.

Not to mention by joining the Padres you’re in a division with a juggernaut, while the Sox are in the weakest division in baseball.

If he can somehow take a leep forward, it’s absolutely huge for the rebuild.

Plus San Diego is a tiny media market in a state with a huge income tax. The Padres would have to offer quite a bit more than the Sox to effectively come close to us.
