If the FO swings and misses on Wheeler, that's two off-seasons in a row where they publicly chased a "premium" free agent and didn't land them. With all of the superlatives and Hahnspeak surrounding the rebuild, I wouldn't be surprised if this was an intentional strategy. Don't forget, Jerry said it himself, carrot on the stick. https://www.forbes.com/sites/jaredwyllys/2019/10/05/chicago-white-sox-owner-jerry-reinsdorfs-comments-show-destructive-approach/

no, but that Stephen Lombardo replied to it. He's the one who said that Wheeler was in Chicago last week.

Steve Stone must have insider info that the “pitching on the way” is actually Ivan Nova.

Not my money. But I’ll certainly be contributing more to the pot #shrug but my fear is a signing, or signings, like this will bring the day when the FO cries poor and these younger players leave in free agency or get traded in salary dumps

by the way, are any of you guys the ones liking my OBVIOUSLY fake tweets?

from what I've read, and I'm no pitching coach, you want 10mph difference. Any more off than that gives the batter too much time to recognize and adjust.

No, but I'm sure its pretty safe to assume the Sox lost ALL of them.

yea but those 42 starts by 7 league minimum guys cost the Sox ~3.5m whereas Zack Wheeler is going to throw 180 innings and cost 22.5m? In order to be Jerry, you must think like Jerry.

I was going to misspell Zack Wheeler too, but I thought that was too much.

Don't make me do it.

how so?

Maybe Wheeler is in George's box.

I love the "lore" of these fake twitter acounts more than the content of the tweets. Fake Steve Cishek.... "burner account" for a "former GM"... Larmonade.... Twitter + the off season = fun.

I edited my post.

He's actually doing quite the opposite. So far I've read that the Sox aren't in on Wheeler and want to go short term.... and that they don't like the OF free agent options because of defense. That's fairly counter to the narrative at this point. EDIT: OK, nevermind. this guy's an idiot. tweet from 2018 suggesting the Sox trade Luis Robert to the Marlins for Realmuto and Prado. #lolemoji#

A 4-headed monster to occupy C/DH/1B is the most likely outcome. Assuming Collins will become "trade bait" is just lazy.

kudos to Garfien for getting interesting guests on his podcast.

There is a fan-made documentary on youtube regarding Teresa Earnhardt and her impact on all things DEI and #3 etc ... IIRC it touches on Kanny and the team name. As a diehard Earnhardt fan that grew up in the southeast during the 80s, I'm sad for the name change. But I get it. Teresa Earnhardt is a monster. EDIT: here ya go:

Yea, he was hurt all year, and represents the Sox return on their INT slot allocations.

He isn't a good pitcher.

He's the best player ever. Must be cheating, right?

I was speaking more towards Dallas Keuchel. Bringing Nova back (or someone like him) isn't a bad idea. Its not like there's guys knocking down the door in Charlotte.

They're both better than the AAAA clown car of a rotation the Sox have been throwing out there. If one of these sorts is signed to fill a rotation hole for a single season, fine.

Google translate + that guy's twitter feed are pure entertainment I'm short but my brother was low when we had white socks and it could get bigger
