I'm torn on this, personally. Robert looks like a much stronger player. Do you feel the Sox should sign NM or let him play it out? If the price is right, I guess I would sign him. I'm not a money expert, but I want this board's thoughts.

Not a good time to trade Vaughn. That deal sucks.

Lol, Rangers 4/5 hitter from last year is batting 7-9 in this lineup

Yup. It's going to be a ridiculous extension but the fact is he's likely to be worth it.

Hahn has time, but this is the guy you might just have to bite the bullet and pay large sums of money.

This is true, but if you believe the CBA is going to address service time manipulation, you're better off having the guy signed.

Uh, they gain a year plus in this deal. The real win here though is any changes to the CBA regarding service time probably won't happen to a signed player.

Rick Hahn working his contract magic. Excellent

Huge signing

You guys are all pretty awesome. Even @Chisox378 Also, if this board had a spirit animal, it would be greg

Agreed. TA should never leadoff. The guy needs to walk, otherwise a hitting slump or a BABIP correction kills your first inning and wastes your power guys.

On base more important than anything else. If he doesn’t get out, he needs to lead off. That’s just basic baseball strategy

Ultimately, if everything goes to plan, it will 100% be Madrigal. He struck out like 5 times total last year. He’ll get on base. That’s all a leadoff man has to do

@gdane

We are only saying what experts are saying. Maybe you should try reading?

This week has been so telling around here. The dark clouds are showing themselves in arguably the best offseason in White Sox history.

“Above average bums”. Go back to Wrigley

So we just tolerate boneheaded takes like this now? cool a good organization spends when it is time to spend. I will applaud them for spending when they need. They can only spend so much all at once.

@Chisox378 won the off-season per Jay Mariotti

What are you moaning about? Eat that crow, son

@Moan4Yoan wants us to just waste money. He’s all about payroll. young guys are cheap, Moan. Everyone knows that

That’s all the evidence I need. Awesome signing.

Uh oh @Moan4Yoan looking worse by the second for you, buddy

We get you’re embarrassed (as you should be), but you have to get over it. Eat your crow, lose your narrative, and get past it

Just eat it man. then be happy like the rest of us also, you’re past due lose that avatar
