"Welcome to Chicago Felix Hernandez & Steven Souza!"

This literally made me LOL at work

I'd take on Price's fll deal if it meant someone like Ben Nintendo back.... But I honestly don't think the Sawx are moving him.... Might take Casas and Groome off their hands though.

I’m just using Spotrac. They have him at ISE

Joc & Springer - Excel Betts - VC

Defensively he’s slightly below average, but in 18 he had a 6.3 ARM, so that’s a positive... might be an outlier as the other years have been closer to average arm wise. 18 was a slightly above average defensive year for him, but otherwise his career UZR/150 is -3.2 (combined LF&RF).... RF he’s literally average at 0.0 UZR/150, he has an up,down,up,down, if suits follows he’ll have a slightly above average year in RF this year.

Isn’t he with ISE? Or was that previously?

Betts, Springer won’t happen, as the Sox will fail to execute IMO. Pederson is essentially the same type of hitter as Mazara in the sense that they both cannot hit lefties for jack shit. Not sure they want to duplicate that problem. Yes, Joc is the better overall player by a long shot, but he won’t be worth spending $15-17M AAV on next offseason. I’d love to see Springer, but we know that won’t happen. Keep kicking the can down the road, give fans hope, then fail to execute... it’s the White Sox motto. It’s a wonder why we expect anything different than this never ending repetitive cycle, myself included.

God why do I think they are going to sign both Porcello and Felix Hernandez? Would be so White Sox to do so.

Agreed, but it’s the most likely scenario, unless you switch Brett Anderson with someone like Dellin Betances might be more Sox-esque

Can’t wait to see “Sox sign Felix Hernandez to a 1 year, $6M deal”

I’m as big as an advocate for Castellanos as anyone, but I think that dream is dead man. Scrap heap time for us, unless we screw with Keuchel.

I think this move signals that Hahn is done and scared of doing too much in 2020 and will revert to the Keppingers and Novas of free agency now. Strap it down, but don’t strap it on boys, we’re done this offseason aside from a few other minor FA stopgaps, maybe a Taijuan Walker type.

If they paid for $164M of his contract I’d think about it... so essentially no

There’s no way Castellanos is getting 5/100... 4/70 max.

With the shortened field Castellanos defense is relatively mitigated, so there’s that.

Trade for Mazara, DH him, then sign Castellanos, then sign Keuchel (meh) and call it an offseason. F it.

All a ploy to get the Dodgers to give us Joc imo

Correct, but I'd still take him over Covey.

I mean, Archer isn't THAT expensive. He's like $9M + a $1.75M buyout.

Be prepared to lose out on Castellanos now.

4% on $755M is $30.2M.... $755M is the value of contracts assuming Rendon gets $200M & Cole gets $300M

IT’S ALL BIANRY DAVE!!!! (Hope someone gets this)

Totally signing Ozuna because of that JR comment.

This is a good thing, usually.
