Best case scenario he explodes and walks in free agency 2 years from now, yet once again doing nothing for the window of contention, why that is so hard to understand I don’t know. When you can sign a for sure thing offensively and have them for the majority of your contention window without having to give up anything? The move makes no sense unless you are trying to be cute and save some money

Giving up anything of value for this guy when he’s simply been meh and is a free agent in 2 years, does nothing to push you into your contending window and will cost you your 2018 2nd round pick if the rumors are true. Terrible in just about every aspect other than he fills a position of need and is a left handed bat. Underwhelming acquisition at best

What’s he saying lol

For being given the opportunity to play everyday in right field of all places and as part of a platoon package with Garcia it’s a bad deal

This. Nothing screams kicking the can down the road for contention more than a move like this and being content with it. me yelling at management right now....no marbles

Yes this is what I was getting at. If u get Mazara and that’s your big splash for power then management has a lot of explaining to do

Congrats you spent 74 mil on one player you did something that 99% of baseball teams have done in the past..... and missed out twice on 2 other premium free agents that were your top pieces to help transform this rebuild.

So let’s say you do this trade for Mazara and if you bring in a piece like Castellanos or JD Martinez to be a DH type player where would that leave you with when it comes time for Vaughn to come up and you have to move Abreu to DH?

More like management needs to grow a pair of balls step up to the table take a chance and land a proven free agent by paying the money out versus shopping at the dollar store

I get it. He is good at hitting vs right handed pitching and is a left handed hitter, but this is just such a Whitesox move, very frustrating to see mediocrity continue with these guys

If his role is a utility player then I’m okay with it but if he’s your everyday right fielder as of today/tomorrow when castellanos, Calhoun, and Ozuna are still out there this is a failure by management

Who cares when there are other high quality free agents out there. This dude does not help you win anything. Yes he’s only 24 years old but he’s not moving the needle one way shape or form

What the hell is this? I go away for like 2 hours to do some work after non stop checking all day and see this? Hahn and co must really not give a shit. Trading for this guy with the options still available in free agency is a slap in the face of all whitesox fans when they say the money will be spent.

Hmm.....David price come on down, wish it was a Thor package but with yesterday’s news with the Boston thing that’s the obvious choice

You also just 24 hours prior had reporters like Bruce Levine and Scott Merkin still projecting the whitesox to make a couple moves before the week ended. So this is total posturing. Hopefully today is a big day!

Meant to say outside the Nationals. I still think they can get something down just more posturing for potential trades today. In my opinion they cannot afford to kick the can down the road, next offseason will be one year closer to having to fork out money to keep Moncada and free agency will have less pitching depth making trades even more significant if not done now. If you wait you are only shrinking your window to win. Yes, even if they add significant pieces this offseason they still might not be competitive enough this upcoming season but this rebuild is just about over guys, let’s get back to winning and get the team to understand how to win this season so they get ahead of this learning curve.

In my opinion that could also be the Whitesox trying to bump up some of the value of their prospects to say they are fine waiting on another offseason to try to get a pitcher in a trade. While it’s very frustrating, no other club made any moves yesterday either. Today could be a huge signal for what they will do the rest of these meetings.

Exactly, nothing to read there just click bait, the title alone pisses people off

Wow....what a terrible article

Hahahahaha did you call it?

Lol or Machado.....

I’ll admit being swamped at work all day it was definitely a little bit of a letdown nothing has happened yet, I was hoping the Sox would come in with a big splash right out the gates at the winter meetings with all the talks of a couple moves being made by Wednesday I figured one was wrapped up already. Ugh...

I would love some Thor, he would be the plan B if I’m the Sox I just doubt the Mets bite
