QUOTE (CaliSoxFanViaSWside @ Sep 13, 2017 -> 02:12 PM) How could you +1 that ? It's like saying let's just give up . The Otani situation is unique in that he will not get big bucks for his 1st year. It would be ludicrous not to make every attempt to pursue him. It's not "giving up." It's realizing they likely aren't going to get him. The White Sox aren't even scouting him.

Otani to Sox talk seems extremely moot.

I really want Giolito to pitch well, but my fantasy team needs for him to get torched today.

QUOTE (ChiSoxJon @ Sep 13, 2017 -> 12:35 PM) Actually hope Hahn continues to stay away Not big on this kid Huh? It's not like he can sign a mega-deal. The most he could sign for is literally for a bonus of about $10 mill. If the Sox somehow were able to sign him, it would be a miracle haha

QUOTE (ron883 @ Sep 13, 2017 -> 12:04 PM) Jose can pack his bags if he asks for that. One great year shouldn't overshadow the last 2 mediocre years. He was a middle of the road 1st basemen who can't field his position. Factor his age into that. No way Jose. There it is folks.

Windians with the lead again.

QUOTE (Harry Chappas @ Sep 13, 2017 -> 11:29 AM) 5 years $75M is what I think he asks for paid as follows $20M $20M $15M $10M $10M Is that also covering his 2 remaining arb years?

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Sep 13, 2017 -> 10:29 AM) I would imagine that would be a part of the negotiations, and something that he wouldn't agree to. Yeah most likely.

QUOTE (bmags @ Sep 13, 2017 -> 10:16 AM) He's ready to play now. Keeping him in the minors for a year is way overvaluing 7 years from now over today. Doesn't make sense to me. I didn't say keep him down for a year. Only the 9/10 days to get the 7th year equaling about 1 missed start. I don't think a team would do this either as it would probably be agreed upon that they wouldn't.

You think teams would try to keep him in the minors for 10 days or whatever it is to get the extra year of control? I feel like a team would have to agree that they will put him on the opening day roster right away.

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Sep 13, 2017 -> 09:37 AM) WHERE IS OUR LIRIANO?!?!? We have Rymer

QUOTE (hi8is @ Sep 10, 2017 -> 05:56 PM) Oh... to have Tatis Jr. still. Ok.... divergence over. Carry on. We seriously need to get past this. They weren't rebuilding yet when they made that trade. It happened. It's over. Not just referring to you hi8is but just the posts about Tatis in general.

QUOTE (OmarComing25 @ Sep 13, 2017 -> 09:26 AM) Plus I think there's little to no chance he signs with an NL team without a DH slot ready for him. Unless a team is actually willing to let him play another position which would just be stupid.

QUOTE (SoxAce @ Sep 13, 2017 -> 09:09 AM) Theo has got to be licking his chops right now.. Believe they are still capped at $300k. I guess he can still try to convince him why he should come to Chicago.

QUOTE (raBBit @ Sep 12, 2017 -> 09:58 AM) I think you know the answer to this. The parameters of evil aren't important. We have people suffering here and our leaders think it's more important to give money to other countries. The few billions of dollars Obama sent to Iran would be pretty helpful right about now.

QUOTE (Scoots @ Sep 12, 2017 -> 01:19 PM) Finally. Glad they brought back the crosstown games on the weekends. I thought having 4 games Mon-Thu was stupid. Still not sure why they are doing it in May/Sept and not during June July or August. Just seems odd. But, now I can finally go to one after not being able to since 2013. They would have played 2 3-game series 2 years ago as well.

QUOTE (Dick Allen @ Sep 12, 2017 -> 12:05 PM) To be fair, there were a lot of posts about him being bad or at least well on his way to being bad. It wasn't just Ronnie Woo Woo and his annual Abreu is DFA-worthy thread. But the recent trade talk surrounding Abreu is during this good season and people only suggest dealing him if the Sox receive a haul which I kinda doubt they will get anyway.

QUOTE (greg775 @ Sep 11, 2017 -> 05:14 PM) I've sensed a lot of anti Abreu talk on the site. You haven't? People want him traded. People ignoring his 31/90 like it's nothing. I've given people a chance on my praise Jose posts. Silence. You haven't read the posts saying if we can get anything good get rid of Jose? I've said we need some hard core older White Sox when we get good again to go with the kids. Silence. This has nothing to do with not liking the guy nor thinking he is bad. Quite opposite actually.

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Sep 11, 2017 -> 04:24 PM) Until the Sox need a good bullpen, they aren't going to spend money on one. They may go dumpster diving for arms this winter, but they aren't spending big money until they know A.) they will be good enough to need to spent, and B.) which starters are going to fail and get used in the pen, and which of these arms acquired as relievers will be able to stick out there. The market for Addy Reed is far from the store the Sox will be shopping in this winter. He is more of the Macy's market, while the White Sox will be garage sailing. This is exactly what they will do. Sign a decent amount of guys to minor league (some mlb) deals and see what sticks.

QUOTE (WBWSF @ Sep 11, 2017 -> 03:18 PM) I've read where the Orioles will offer Manny Machado a big contract this off season. Baltimore has indicated that if he turns down their offer they will probably trade him. That being said, I hope the White Sox offer Garcia a long term contract. If he turns it down, trade him. I hope Garcia remains a member of the White Sox. After the White Sox sign Garcia I'm hoping they sign Addison Reed and JD Martinez to long term contracts. I've only seen this speculated by fans in the comment section on MLBTR.

QUOTE (Brian @ Sep 11, 2017 -> 02:57 PM) I signed up. I'm easily persuaded. I may even go see the sh*ttiest movies now just for the hell of it. Exactly. Everything you're on the fence on seeing you may actually see now when you're bored. Plus, a decent amount of good movies coming soon (IT, Thor, Justice League, Star Wars to name a few).

QUOTE (Dick Allen @ Sep 11, 2017 -> 01:30 PM) You need to be within 100 yards of the theater to buy the ticket. But you could go by in the morning for a show at night. You can only see 1 a day, and never the same one twice. I also have read, and don't know if it's true, that the 1 a day is also 1 in a 24 hour period. I haven't tested this yet. Maybe next weekend, but if you went to an 8pm show on Friday, you couldn't go to a 7 PM show on Saturday. You pick the movie off their app, the AMCs by me are listed, no Arc Light. AMC still gets their money. If you are able to test it, this would be helpful. Otherwise I will whenever I receive mine.

I figure if they were in go-for it mode, they likely dump Garcia and he doesn't end up breaking out with us.

QUOTE (Dick Allen @ Sep 11, 2017 -> 10:48 AM) I was a little nervous it wouldn't work, if it's too good to be true it usually is, but for $10 figured it's worth the shot, and it works fine. Good to hear.
