Yeah more than likely.

I'm just saying I don't want those types. I would literally rather spread $65m around 2 or 3 guys if at least one of them is a premium talent than spread it around 5-6 over the hill veterans to fill a roster (aka what we know them for when they would try to compete).

Yes as long as they'e going to spend a good amount of that on premium talent. Not the usual innings eater to about $10 mill, a couple relievers at ~$8 mill each, stop gap veteran outfield type, and veteran stop gap DH. Like the moves we're used to when they "spend money" or "try to compete."

I fully expect Abreu to be re-signed based on Hahn's comments so there's some money.

After last off-season, I'm never getting my hopes up again. Just going to wait for the "Sox agree to sign/sign (insert player name here) to deal" headline. Edit: not until Jerry is gone at least.

I could see Eaton being a biter to be honest.

Addison Reed anyone? He was DFA'd and was pitching on a rehab assignment with the Twins. At this point, our pen needs someone to soak up some innings.

It's regarding the White Sox. They always seem to be involved in bizarre/obscure news or stories. Some cool, baseball related and then some like this. Nothing surprises me anymore.

Well...isn't that obvious?

Either way, in no universe am I dealing Colome now.

Yes there are definitely years when May is the time to make a move. But definitely not a guy who may be the top reliever on the market (also with an additional year of control).

Yep. Companies are quick to make decisions that effects their employees lives (relocating jobs, cutting departments, etc). Happened to me at a company I was with a few years ago, and just happened to my former co-workers at my last job.

How about: DFA Alonso and Castillo, call up Mendick and Collins, start Mendick at 2B, and give Jose Rondon a 1B glove (split time at DH).

I agree.

He already received a large signing bonus when he came over. There's a good chance he's going to take a chance in free agency instead of taking safe money.

And the difference: one guy is in the middle of the final year of his contract (with a vesting option) and one guy was awful in the first of a 4-year deal. One is 100000x easier to get rid of than the other. Just give it another month at the most.

Yes sir.

This is what I'm thinking too. I feel like they should be switched.

Cut him...literally just cut him. It's the only way.

Yeah I agree. I wouldn't mind either getting a spot start or two.

I'd take him over Alonso too. Especially if there was a chance he would play 1B more over Abreu.

Two questions because I'm unsure: who is better defensively, Tilson or Garcia? And which has the better arm?

It's all about if he looks completely lost and unbalanced at the plate. Dude had some horrific swings at the beginning of the year and he always looked like he was falling.

When the time comes, we'll just move Anderson to Catcher.

Edit: I guess not 100% confirmed but I'm assuming he will be based on this.
