I’d do anything to get rid of Grandal’s contract. Hell, trade him to Baltimore for Chris Davis. At least Davis’ contract ends sooner.

Grandal is arguably the worst free agent signing in the history of this franchise. I can’t believe people would take him over James McCann.

The title of this thread is so misleading, come on man.

This team is really bad. That Eloy injury killed this team.

Yeah, they still should have been more active in the free agent market but I can’t complain too much if they use that money to lock up all the core guys long term.

a Vaughn extension would be nice, a Giolito extension would be amazing.

Since you appear to have connections, can you tell Jerry to stop being a tightwad and open up the checkbook to improve his championship caliber baseball team?

Elijah Tatis for Price

Long answer: no they have not Short answer: no

Ted is a fool.

Father Time has to catch up with him eventually, right? Right?

He didn’t delete any tweets, everything he said was spot on.

Bring Folty in too.

Ok...what do we think it would take to get him? Colorado might as well trade him now that Arenado is gone. Taking Blackmon’s contract could reduce the level of prospects the Sox would have to to give up.

Jordan Yamamoto was just DFAed, I’d take a chance on him. Chris Archer too possibly.

Their projected DH has no experience above A ball and their #4 and #5 starters have no track record of success at the MLB level. Counting on those guys to be key contributors right away is a terrible plan. Just stop.

I would ask if Jerry pays you to defend him, but it’s clear that he doesn’t. Why white knight for a billionaire?

“Doesn't make it compelling or interesting conversation.” It’s a conversation that needs to be had. Jerry shouldn’t be able to get away with being this cheap any longer. They promised that the money would be spent. Well here we are and it’s clear that it’s not going to be. Obviously the pandemic plays a role in this, but it’s still extremely disappointing.

Your arms must be tired carrying all that water for Jerry.

Well considering everyone on this forum is a diehard White Sox fan, it shouldn’t be surprising that people are upset by Jerry’s spending habits. Beating a dead horse? Maybe. But it’s a valid complaint.

How some of you can still do mental gymnastics to defend Jerry is beyond me...

The only thing I can think of is that maybe this was leaked to get Cruz off of his sticking point of a 2 year deal.

I’m so tired of this tightwad not doing everything he can to put a World Series team on the field. It isn’t fair to all of us who invest so much time and money on this franchise. Sell the team Jerry. /rant

Fuck it, offer Cruz a higher AAV than Minnesota for this year and then do the Bobby Bonilla treatment. Give him like $2 million a year for the next 10 years instead of a guaranteed 2nd year.

Brad Miller is a poor man’s La Stella, just get him at this point.
