I understand looking at the White Sox spending history, but using that alone to come to a conclusion is just lazy IMO. People said the same thing about the rebuild, and then it ended up happening. The White Sox have a dirt cheap payroll with many players on rookie deals. They can afford a Machado contract. They also had a top 5 payroll between 2006 and 2008. Jerry will spend if they have a chance to win.
Rebuilding or not, this guy is a garbage ass coach. He constantly makes questionable decisions. He makes himself look like an ass regularly with his hustle rules. They can't keep this dude as manager. It's time.
I get the whole "his approach is great" thing, but how the hell does a dude that big not get more homeruns in that park? Is Sheets swinging on a downward plane?
Unless it is a sign and trade, we essentially give him the upper hand. The Sox commit to resigning him at whatever cost it takes. Like most players, he will sign for the most money. The Sox basically have to have the highest bid then. Not a fan of that strategy. What players has that worked with? Im sure there are a couple of examples.
We don't know that though. The risk outweighs the reward. The white sox aren't a top FA destination typically. If Hahn trades big-time prospects for Arenado and then he leaves in FA, Hahn gets grilled like there is no tomorrow.
I definitely think they are one of the most aesthetic teams, now and in the future. Moncada, Davidson, Delmonico, Yolmer, Gio, TA. All attractive. Then you've got Kopech waiting in the minors.
Is Jose honestly a player you trust in a crucial situation? All biases aside, the dude just has never been great with the pressure on. I don't want an aging abreu playing for us during the playoffs.
You really put using PEDs and beating your significant other in the same category? That's ridiculous.
I don't care if a player used PEDs. I would use PEDs if it made me millions more. I would never beat my significant other.
