likely believe = I'm totally guessing here

I can cancel my annual May and September trips to Chicago and spend that time at Riverdogs/Intimidators games instead.

I made my jersey for 2019... but unfortunately, the whitesox.com checkout page doesn't accept commodities and promissory notes as currency.. which, is how I thought the sox did business.

The reason was they wouldn't take Dontrelle Willis in the deal.

swing and miss on generational talents that come once a decade... then overspend on the leftovers... sounds like the Sox kind of offseason

Grandstand should have a promotion where they make and sell a bunch of Sox jerseys for all the players the FO "tried" to sign or trade for and FAILED.

you've got my vote

I usually laugh off the arm chair GM / fan offseason threads and posts - but let's be fucking honest with ourselves, I think SoxTalk collectively could have handled this whole thing a whole lot better than the paid professionals working at 35th and Shields.

Josh Harrison, a 5'8" third baseman, to replace our 5'8" third baseman.

If there is no magic number, why didn't they match 10/300 when Lazano gave them the chance to do so? #Incompetence

speaking of checking boxes, I wonder if they'll keep Eloy down in AAA for another year, so they can keep the clock from starting... because the FO is clearly not ready to compete.

I have a hard time believing that the Sox aren't/wouldn't be offering Harper anything other than 7/150 with 250m in "incentives" and "escalators" Our FO is the junior league champions!

Our beloved clown show ain't the $400,000,000 kind.

Why would Harper want to come play a part in this clown show?

"We tried" all joking aside, you are 100% right though

As sad as it sounds, those trades/signings make the team a lot better.

"would have been" The saddest truth about the saddest team in all the lands. The Sox are a team of "would have beens"

are you paying to use SoxTalk? Someone is, and it isn't you. Chill.

I texted a friend of mine earlier today, half-kidding of course, that Machado will lead the league in 400 foot singles this season... A) that park is huge ... and B) he ain't running out 400 foot balls in the gap.

What's Jeff Keppinger up to?

I think I've come to the realization today that this team will always be the "also ran" and never a serious, annual contender. Its like that middling NASCAR team that just throws a slow car on the track to get the sponsor money. Nobody roots for that fucking guy. No one buys that guy's tshirt.

I just don't get it... RickyGM and Co were "surprised" and "blindsided".. I mean, how?? How were you blindsided that the best possible scenario for a player to be a free agent, in terms of talent and youth, etc... didn't want some bullshit incentive laden contract? I mean, come on you guys. What the actual fuck. I can't wait for the Mike Trout thread in a few years.... 1 dollar for every online all star fan vote you get! $50 million incentive bonus in 20 years when you make the Hall of Fame, but ONLY if you go in as a Sox player....

The optimist in me says 4 players are better than one... the realist in me says ... Internal Server Error The server encountered an internal error or misconfiguration and was unable to complete your request. Even the SoxTalk forum software is pissed!

Not mentioned in the tweet were the details of the incentives, such as $5,000 for each sac bunt, $7,500 for every ground ball Ricky thought he "ran his ass off down the line" and $10,000 for every time he cut off the shortstop on a routine ground ball he felt was his because "this is my infield"
