I think it is time for the league to contract the lying, cheating Astros...who do you think would fall to the White Sox with the 11th pick in that contraction draft?

Haha, you're the best....Now go use your powers of optimism to get us some more damned players** **BUT DON'T TRADE STEELE WALKER OR I WILL BE PISSED

He got a little more than QO $...I would take that to go to a team you think has a chance to win it all.

You're wrong

I was not disagreeing with you, sorry if I made it seem that way. I was questioning the attitude of some players who have a problem with others who make the game fun.

Shouldn't a "game" be fun? That is what Tim makes it, fun, and that is the right way IMHO

I do tend to agree with you there...I would not be surprised to see both Stras and Cole to have less than stellar years next year.

Spend the $$ they save this off season on Springer?

Hahhnnnn...you dimwit!!!

I purchased a mausoleum package deal last year after the Harper/Machado debacle

Yep, that is why the longer this went on the less likely a Wheeler signing seemed to be. Grandal was signed relatively quickly. Maybe that is why the Sox should change their target to one of the other SP before everyone else zeroes in on them.

Time to pivot to Madbum? Worst case scenario is getting totally shutout in the decent SP pool this offseason.

One could argue the only incentive Boras cares about....$$$

Trade them Elijah Tatis...we can't get burned again can we?

I agree...just use an in house option until Madrigal comes up

If they do not sign an unprecedented contract (as far as the Sox are concerned) for a starting pitcher this offseason then I do not know what they are doing.

For a Pitcher Your 2019-2020 off season Chicago White Sox...Whaaaat??!!??

A Lie (Nice catch)

Lie?! I prefer Pure Canard or Prevarication

That is some next level alternative history there haha...but I'll play. If Shields pitched the last 4 innings in an epic game 7 for the 2016 World Series Champion White Sox then hell yes the trade was worth it. Back to real history...the problem I will always have with the Shields trade was that Erik Johnson should have been more than enough to acquire a James Shields who had been called out by the Padres owner for sucking so badly. The fact that Hahn had to throw anyone else in the deal is a joke, The fact it was Tatis borders on a tragedy.

IMHO Mike Napoli sucking in that World Series has a lot more to do with the Cubs winning than Chapman but I get your point. Theo made the move that he thought he needed to make and paid the price necessary to get the best closer available...Do they win it all without Chapman?...Like you said that will always be just speculation.

Yep, he gave up the lead in game 7 of the World Series...people seem to forget that.

My wife put a bag of Halos in the grocery cart and asked me "are these the same as Cuties?" I confidently said "Yes" but I do not really know.

With seemingly few rumors about Cole or Strasburg, Zack is the big catch now. As others have said, the longer this goes on the less I like the Sox' chances of landing Wheeler.
