  1. We have $60 million off the books next year if you include Abreu and Kimbrel. He makes 10.2 million this year and give him a 3 year extension between 12-15 million per. Would still have plenty of money for Giolito.
  2. I’m staying away from Montas at that price and past knee issues with all the weight he carries. I’m all in on trading for Manaea and signing him to an extension. Fine with Burger or Sheets headlining the deal.
  3. Michael Reinsdorf is on record only wanting to be involved with the Bulls. That was around 5 years ago.
  4. If Reinsdorf would fire Hahn who would he hire? He usually doesn’t go outside the organization. If his son would be involved I might feel more comfortable with what Michael Reinsdorf did with Bulls. Wish we would start doing that with our player development department hiring from top organizations.
  5. Reinsdorf is 86 years old what the hell is he waiting for. I know there are other owners, but things are never going to change until we have new ownership. Sad our window is here and sitting on the sidelines just putting band aids on the roster.
  6. Spotrac has our payroll allocation at 183.6 million. Is that correct?
  7. When is other Tatis sibling ready to turn 16 years old? The draft wouldn't be implemented until 2024. Would we be able to get him locked in the next two signing periods?
  8. Kelly looks like he put on 30 plus pounds. That’s not good.
  9. Law has his White Sox Top 20 prospects up and running
  10. 3 Years that's brutal. Was not expecting that to happen.
  11. He loves the spicy chicken ?
  12. Eno Sarris and Matt Eddy talked for a couple minutes about the White Sox on how they are still on the bottom with player development. Interesting comments by both. Mentioned how they have improved their analytical department, but still behind everyone else. Scouting department is a strength. https://theathletic.com/podcast/15-rates-and-barrels/?episode=270
  13. Hate losing Madrigal, but I think injuries are going to be a huge part of his game.
  14. That’s an incredible return by the Twins!!!
  15. There is your opening on the 40 man roster-60 day DL
  16. Eddy Alvarez will be the USA ?? Flag Bearer for the summer Olympics. Pretty cool!!!
  17. Kiley McDaniel Chicago White Sox 1 (22): Colson Montgomery, SS, Southridge HS (IN) 2 (57): Wes Kath, Deer Mountain HS (AZ) 3 (94): Sean Burke, RHP, Maryland 4 (124): Brooks Gosswein, LHP, Bradley 5 (155): Tanner McDougal, RHP, Silverado HS (NV) I liked what the White Sox did up top, getting a little bit lucky on two prep hitters who fell and then maneuvering down the board. This was always Montgomery's floor, and he was almost picked a few spots ahead of 22; this is a great upside and value pick for a system that really needed it. Kath had some interest in the late 20s and 30s, then the White Sox landed him for what I'm told is about a half million over slot, or roughly the 40th overall bonus slot. Burke is a solid third-round value as a starter with a swing-and-miss heater, Gosswein is a solid, late-rising power lefty who could fit in a few roles, and McDougal was my top riser from the draft combine. He's up to 97 mph with a heavy sinker, a slurve that is over 3000 rpm and a changeup with nice shape -- a real good starting point for an upside projection arm.
  18. Keith Law Chicago White Sox Colson Montgomery (1) is a tall, lanky shortstop from southern Indiana who has a sweet left-handed swing. Scouts praise his approach, but he hasn’t always hit well against good pitching and didn’t face any this spring. He’s athletic enough for third base but too big to stay at short. Arizona high school shortstop Wes Kath (2) will also move to third base in pro ball, and he has a chance to develop into a plus hitter with plus power as he fills out, although I worry that he can over-rotate at the plate. Sean Burke (3) was up to 97 early in the spring but wore down as the season progressed. He’s 6-foot-6 and gets good life on the fastball, with a 55 changeup and average-ish slider, and has some deception in the delivery. Lefty Brooks Gosswein (4) was a senior at nearby Bradley University, where he posted a 5-plus ERA this spring and last spring while facing bad competition. He has ridiculous stuff for those results – 92-96, an extremely tight-breaking curveball, a power changeup – so I get the pick, but, come on, you have to get Missouri Valley Conference hitters out with this kind of arsenal. Tanner McDougal (5) is a very projectable high school right-hander who sits in the low 90s with a loose arm, needing some delivery refinement and the typical kind of physical maturation for a teenaged arm. They went with college seniors in rounds 6-10, probably to help go over slot for McDougal and maybe Kath. TCU senior Johnny Ray (12) can show a plus fastball but was awful in the Frogs’ rotation this spring. As for more, who wants to know
