What if they still sign Castellanos? Would that break SoxTalk?

Wouldn't the Red Sox be willing to lauch JD Martinez and his contract for little of nothing? If they're rebuilding on the fly and they need to shed payroll, then I'd think he wouldn't cost much in terms of prospects. I know he has some sort of a No Trade clause but the White Sox are building a very interesting team here.

What happens to McCann if we get Encarnacion? There won’t be enough ABs for him.

I’m in my feelings.

This is how I feel. Hey at least they’re trying. I still want JR to go balls out and sign or trade for a big ticket player though. Spend $200 - $300 million on a stud so we know it’s real.

This right here. Why are we the second hand franchise? I don’t want the Yankees or the BoSox castoffs. And giving them salary relief so they can sign more players to beat your ass with makes it even worse.

Never forget that Peter Gammons once advocated for the White Sox to be contracted. This was back before 2005 when there was a lot of conversation about wacking one of the Florida clubs.

Would you be seething if nothing happened and we went into spring training as is? I think you’re going to be seething either way. I can’t think of a plausible scenario where you won’t be seething to be honest. A lot of us are disappointed right now.

This is what I have been thinking. Do we really believe that JR is going to pay Moncada or Giolito? The White Sox really need new ownership.

I’m starting to think that Hahn really does have a deal in place for David Price and he’s just waiting on the Sawks to throw in more cash. I can’t think of any other reason he’s not signing any of the guys left.

Julio Teheran Ivan Nova Alex Wood Wade Miley Taijuan Walker That’s what we’re working with. Choose 2 of them.

The White Sox would have to offer WAY more money to get Ryu or Keuchel... and I still don’t think that would get them. I can see both of them leaving White Sox money on the table to be with a team on the west coast or a team ready to contend.

He got 5/85

We’ll get Julio Teheran and Ivan Nova.

I'm pretty sure we top out at 82 wins next year. Won't really be in the Wild Card discussion.

*Chops arm*

I bet we could have gotten a boatload for Moncada... probably a young stud MLB outfielder and some cheap pitching. Make Gio available at the deadline since we won't be able to pay them. Keep recycling talent for younger, cheaper talent.

Same as it ever was.

Do you guys really think Reinsdorf will pay the $250M+ it'll take to keep Moncada and the $250M+ it'll take to keep Giolito?

The Twins won 101 games and the division last year. We won 72. They have a pitching problem but they're miles ahead of us.

I don’t think it ever was.

Fans ought to f***ing revolt if this happens. No one wants to hear that shit right now.

Gotta respect the owners who put winning ahead of profits. I think Sox ownership will continue to have a low payroll as long as fans keep showing up and spending money.

LMAO at the new thread title ? We're all miserable.

Done deal
