Chicago White Sox

When death’s at your doorstep, can & will oftentimes become the same thing.

Why can’t they spend $175M? And if they spend $175M, that would more or less leave $100M for the rest of the roster. Seems doable to me.

Wasn’t that before a ton national TV deal money came in? Plus our local TV deal should also increase to some extent just by getting rid of WGN and potentially even more (there unsubstantiated rumors it was doubling). Honesty, if our ownership truly puts everything back into the team, I think we could probably afford a ~$175M payroll with a modest bump in attendance.

Lol...hope he got something cooler than a cardboard cutout award.

I honestly don’t believe two is an option at this point (primarily based on Hahn’s own words), but coming out empty handed would be a complete gut punch right up there with Kopech’s TJS.

Adolfo & Basabe were both top 100 guys in their 2018 updated rankings.

I think something leaks out by the end of the night. The only question is whether that leak involves us landing two whales or just one.

Jack, please go chug a beer and get hyped! Your pessimism is derailing the positive vibes in this thread!

He’s still saying he heard from a source.

There we go!!

I saw that, but maybe someone reached out to him? Surprised he would throw that out that there without something to back it up.

? ? ? ? ?

And no I didn’t really call in sick, but that ? ? ? is coming soon guys.

It’s coming my man! I ain’t sleeping tonight and have already called in sick tomorrow! That fire is coming soon!

SMOKE!

And guess what pal, one of these weeks I’ll be right ? But in all seriousness, this week just makes too much sense and all these little one-offs are starting to add up.

Hector’s “in the coming days” tweet along with the baby shoes & custom gloves tell me all I need to know. You don’t make the birth of a child about a guy’s employer unless it has special meaning to the family. Same goes for the “305” on gloves. Even if it’s just for a year, it should be clear as day that Alonso, Jay, & Machado are pumped as fuck to play together. Manny’s desire to play for the White Sox is obvious IMO.

Just powered through a fuckton of pages, but my opinion is this gets done by Friday at the latest. Way too much fucking smoke right now for this not to happen and very soon.

Holy shit, is this for real??

Have I missed something? Like what the fuck is causing people to be so pessimistic today? Does Balta’s presence in this thread just do that to people? As far as I can tell, we’re in the same spot we’ve been in for the last few months and that’s probably a good thing.

Really feel sorry for these guys. Must really suck only getting $250M and not getting to play for the Yankees, Red Sox, Dodgers, or Cubs. Sometimes life just isn’t fair I guess.

What do you mean Sheets is working with dad?

Lol
