Was gonna grab tix to the home opener but decided to wait til after ST is over to get tix to a different game. just wanna see sale or Rodon vs a division rival.

Is Sale projected or Quintana? too early to tell? edit: Home opener.

QUOTE (Kalapse @ Mar 18, 2016 -> 07:54 PM) . Well, while I think the idea of trading Sale now over this stupid s*** is ridiculous, if he actively defies Reinsdorf they may not have a choice. Reinsdorf is the most loyal owner in all pro sports, I trust him to handle this in the proper manner, in the crazy, hypothetical scenario where Sale MF's him, there's really no coming back from that. Sale is a f***ing incredible talent that makes White Sox baseball palatable even when the team is s*** but he's not bigger than ownership. That doesn't make what I said any less true. The Sox are lucky to be where they are in attendance, it would take a hit in more ways than just attendance if they dealt Sale because he ran his mouth to JR.

QUOTE (blackmooncreeping @ Mar 18, 2016 -> 07:35 PM) If JR lays down the law and Sale continues to b****, he gone. and about half of the remaining 500 fans. there couldn't be a more idiotic decision made.

QUOTE (Dick Allen @ Mar 18, 2016 -> 11:17 AM) So Sale is now an idiot for firing on KW, something this board does with regularity when a player acquisition doesn't work out. I know lol, it's hilarious how everyone admits that KW was in the wrong here, and yet fires shots at Chris for doing what we all want a leader to do But when Chris does it, he's a tempermental teenager.

"that's a 13 million dollar can o' corn right there Stone Pony. He gawn!"

will laroche give back a portion of his salary from last year? gtfo.

Fowler for a draft pick, you've gotta be kidding me. fk no.

Wish the sox had an owner like Illitch

sox swung and missed on all 3 major FA OFs lmao

QUOTE (SouthSideSale @ Jan 22, 2016 -> 06:11 AM) It really seems like he's staying in New York. sox weren't ever gonna get him, not in this OF market. they dont spend that kinda money, never have

I'd say the odds of cespedes agent using the sox to up the Mets offer is pretty high. still believe the sox have no desire on paying cespedes 20m+ a year. they never ever overpay like that.

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Jan 19, 2016 -> 03:19 PM) People want to know why the White Sox aren't spending, this is it. This is the same thing I have been saying for years. People don't want to believe it, but there it is in black and white. People can rationalize it however they want, however the end result is the same. The White Sox don't get the amount of resources that other teams get because of it. If our fanbase was more loyal, I would imagine we would have signed another OF months ago. Instead we still are trying to go on the cheap to fit him into the budget as dictated by revenues. so a disloyal fan base is why the sox have had one of the leagues worst farm systems in the last 15 years or more? gmab.

LMFAO sox fail once again. at least they're good at something.

sox don't spend that kind of money ever. not sure why people are shocked if cespedes goes elsewhere and also Fowler....lol

yeah 30's, i dont see the sox spending the most they've ever spent on a player in their entire history on cespedes not even upton honestly and he's probably worth more due to his age even though i'd prefer cespedes

lol if anybody thinks he will be objective at all about the sox if they're doing poorly he's a mouthpiece. nothing more.

Idk I just don't see the sox spending the kind of money required to land upton or cespedes hence the reason they were shooting for gordon my prediction is they grab one of the other OFs for much less money

so fking happy. I did not want him at all.

I really really don't want Gordon, which means that's who they'll target/acquire

QUOTE (Markbilliards @ Jan 4, 2016 -> 12:35 AM) Not that the Sox would want to retain him after this year, but I just realized he'd have a 10/5 no trade rights if he was brought back. wow yeah... he won't be back. lol

So Danks is in his final albatross season with the Sox and was thinking about how the rest of his career pans out. Will he never be heard from again ala Gavin Floyd, pitching for a team in meaningless games? is his shoulder f 'd to the point that he retires after this year? is there a chance he puts up a sub 4 ERA this year and the sox bring him back on a much more affordable deal? thoughts?

@Big_Hurtin problem is the market for these 3 OF isn't very big it's just that their agents know this and are weighing on the fact that teams like the sox and orioles and Mets need one of these guys amd are waiting for them to blink first

QUOTE (LittleHurt05 @ Dec 29, 2015 -> 05:33 PM) Gordon x 100 imo the only way gordon would be as valuable as cespedes is if he maintains his .370+ obp if it drops into the 350s or lower cespedes is infinitely more valuable
