Rangers have an owner willing to spend on premier FA. Rangers hired a baseball person to run the baseball team. Rangers' prospects developed properly and didn't bust after injury or unearned high dollar extensions. Rangers didn't hamstring the FO with asinine short sided restrictions. Rangers reached out to a HOF manager who wasn't drinking away his twilight years while being out of the dugout for a decade.

Suck it Houston!

1-5 rapidly approaching ??

Huh, so the guy calling fans whiny 'beyatches' while telling them to just think positive is moving the goalposts again when proven wrong. Cute.

A 100 loss season isn't the result of bad luck...

I didn’t particularly want Castellanos because of his D, but the Sox sure chose every cheap internal worse option.

There are cheaper Merrifields. Don’t let the name overshadow how washed up he is.

Getz is the epitome of failing upward. He wasn’t qualified for his previous job in which he failed miserably, and he isn’t qualified for his new job with even more responsibility. My only hope is that he seems to have brought in a few new baseball people who are smarter than him and can help overcome his many deficiencies. This is still a Reinsdorf operation however, so Getz will get to fail continually and repeatedly without consequence. I wish him the best but even the greatest of baseball execs would struggle with the impossible task that lies ahead in fixing the White Sox.

I really want nothing to do with Merrifield. I watched plenty of Blue Jays last season and I just don't know what he brings to the table. Versatility is nice, but when you suck at everything, versatility hardly matters. He feels like another guy the Sox would overpay right before he drops off the cliff.

Step 1: List available former Royals. Step 2: Throw dart Step 3: Profit

Does JR immediately go back on his word about having a singular decision maker? Cuz bringing Ng in makes Getz completely irrelevant and unncessary. Not that he wasn't already.

All in on Philly, but Anyone But Houston honestly.

But what about the back end? WHAT ABOUT THE BACK END??!?!??

And that is why it is so frightening. New GM seems perfectly content turning the Sox into the Royals East regardless of recent results..

?????? ??? ??? ??? ??? ??? ??? ??? ???

I don’t disagree, but that wasn’t my point. If you were Canha, and you had identical $2/25 offers, and one was from the White Sox, why would he come here? Without a deal that blows others out of the water? Canha doesn’t move the needle for this current squad, why massively overpay for another Benintendi?

Shoot me in the face…?

Especially with Pedro still at the helm.

Canha would be a nice add, but I don’t see any reason he comes here unless the Sox overpay. At which point you have to question the wisdom of doing so.

Same. Though him leaving won’t change my Astros disdain much.

Anyone but the White Sox.

Nicky Lopez incoming…

If the Sox sign Whit I’m done. Not that wouldn’t already be, but bridge too far.
