wegner

Oh boy...just when I thought I could get back to work

I apologize. I am afraid that I have an irrational dislike for anyone who turns down more $$ from my favorite baseball team to go play for a team that I have no interest in whatsoever.

Booed Santa?!? That is not very family friendly. Was Mrs. Wheeler aware of this during negotiations?

Plus Philly fans are just so darned friendly...You better pitch your ass off Wheels or you will be ducking batteries

So now we actually outbid other teams and still lose out? If true, that is depressing.

Since I have seen very little about them tied to Ryu, it would be nice to tie him up quickly without much word like they did with Grandal. If MadBum will be going for over 100M...No thanks.

Note to self...stop following a thread once it seems other teams are in a bidding war against the Sox Actual reality...F5 F5 F5 F5 F5 F5....

Don't give that award away too early...I'm sure we will get better than that...give it time.

Time for me to pivot to "I never wanted Wheeler anyways"

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.
