I'd really need to know what other offers were on the table for him. It feels like a classic bid-against-themselves while doubling down on the colossal mistake of taking him 4th.

Wait wait wait, they paid Bust Williams $90M? Ninety freaking million? This team is never going to be good again. WTH??‍♀️.

If all we could get for Cease was Thorpe+, please Chris, look elsewhere.

Robert to Seattle, please universe.

Narrator: he will.

White Sox to the history books:

Oh Lamont sucked, don't get me wrong. My point was more about Sox fans that claim TLR as a Sox great, when his time here he was pretty damned mediocre. Even without the dumpster fire second tenure. It's a weird flex, when, if anything, TLR's time with the Sox hurts his HOF case more than it helped.

No

Meh. Most of these mega deals for non-stars end up as bad money in short order.

$40M for a 3&D player. That has Thibs level of stupid written all over it.

I pay very little attention to the NBA any more, but how is 17ish ppg & <6 rebounds worth $212M?

When the goalpost moving is as circular as the arguments...

“I want us to play cleaner, winning-type baseball,” Getz said. About that...

Tony La Russa is not a victim. For fucks sake.

32-130, calling it now.

It's still Brook's fault?

They also didn't have several ready-made replacement already in house when Grifol was hired.

He's used to dying on a hill alone on an island. I'm not sure he'll even notice.

TLR's first tenure here was before my time, but it seems really weird for Sox fans to celebrate his HOF credentials. What did he do here that contributed to his HOF? Gene Lamont had a better winning % and just as many post season appearances as TLR's first stint and we sure don't celebrate him...

Many of us were skeptical before the DUI news came out, and even more so when they moved forward with him while essentially sweeping it under the rug. TLR was not only as bad as many of us predicted he would be, being out of the game for a decade, but worse. Aside from him looking like a rotting corpse most days and literally falling asleep in the dugout, the DUI was not in the forefront of the valid criticism of his second tenure here. Why a few people want to whitewash or gaslight is beyond me.

Is Shohei a player to be named later? Otherwise...

\ It is not puritanical to take issue with a man who drove drunk frequently enough have multiple DUI's on his record. Him being a baseball HOF doesn't cover for him being a shitty person in real life.

Their entire top 10.

Between Montoyo, Santos, and Jirchelle, it will be one of them. Getz might do a few token interviews but JR makes these decisions and will go with someone with whom he is already familiar.

Correct.
