Those are the free agents you get when losing is a habit. They don't really bring anything to the table.
Some still ignore the reality that no big time free agents would be willing to play here.
same here when I watch the other teams' broadcast.
Schriffen - 120 loss season
Beckham - 101 loss season
Both are not good. We get a constant flow of former Sox has beens.
I don't think many teams give up valuable prospects in July. So many trades are often rentals. Trade just to trade is basically it for bad teams along with paying a player not to play for them. So often the consistent winning teams come out ahead in those but even that is temporary if they don't extend them.
they'll also trade and trade and trade to fulfil the fan's desire for trade frenzy. It's the formula of habitual losing baseball. All of the bad teams do it. We mention spending money but what top tier free agents want to come here without overpaying? What you get is overpriced free agents like Beni. Then our trade frenzy kicks in and then the salary dump for no level prospects. No shortage of those. Keep spinning that wheel.
Those game packages had to be tempting. I would have done it if I lived reasonably close. Plus a lot of last year was gone. No Eli, Moncada, Grifol. The past 3 years were such a dark era.

Nice perspective when he talks about losing can be a habit.
