Leury is not great by any stretch, but his positional flexibility has value. To release Leury while keeping Jay on the roster would be another mistake, no matter how insignificant everyone perceives it to be. I think a team would pick up Leury immediately and put him on the 25, can't say the same for Jay.

Unless Jeffrey Loria wants to own another franchise, I'll take my chances with literally anyone else.

Rodon, Lopez, Giolito, Nova,Banuelos Covey,Fry,Frare,Burr,Minaya,Jones,Colome Herrera Castillo,McCann Abreu,Alonso Yolmer Moncada Anderson, Leury Jay,Engel Palka,Guyer I need a drink after typing out these names

They did luck into Rose, but he wasn't a slam dunk at 1-1, they could have easily takeen Beasley.

Ichiro was gone in 2012. Walker and Haniger were traded for each other before the 2017 season. None of the timelines line up the way you presented them. It's just a random collection of names.

There is no way the old boys club that is baseball allows a foreign billionaire in their clubhouse. They don't want to get embarrassed by a guy who treats his ballclub as an expensive toy.

The Bulls were among the best teams in the league during the D.Rose era. The Sox had an HOF caliber ace and cheap controllable quality pieces and couldn't make the playoffs once.

White Sox: Complain about bein irrelevant Phillies and Padres sign two marquee free agents and get unprecedented national attention White Sox:

“The owner of the Phillies says, ‘oh my god, we have to do this, we can’t let our fanbase down.’” Shit the White Sox never say.

He brags about offering a higher AAV to Manny, and that they were completely willing to go to $320MM as long as he stays healthy (lol). Then says they couldn't go to $300 for Manny because then people would be mad when we couldn't keep thecore together.

I call dibs on the scoreboard. Always wanted a bigger TV,

The twitter replies are something else ?

Vesting options are team options. Period. The fact that they are trying to spin this is insulting their fanbase.

Yeah, the Padres sold $1MM worth of tickets in like 2 days. I wonder why.

Don't worry they'll present some scout or coach as the scapegoat.

Gotta admit, I was kinda mad at Machado out of pure tribalism, but after reading these quotes I don't blame him one bit and hope he does well in San Diego. A team that tries to emotionally blackmail you by acquiring your friends and family just because they hope that they will get a discount is just disgusting. And then they have the audacity to call you unambitious because you wouldn't agree to what is essentially a team option. Get some competent front office guys from the A's or the Rays who know how to operate on a budget. And then with new ownership hopefully we can make some splashes here and there. That is the best case scenario for the futture of the White Sox.

KW has a prettier girlfriend anyway. You wouldn't know her, she goes to another school.

You forgot the Bulls. I think the Browns will be in the playoffs next year btw.

Ownership and the front office only have themselves to blame for the attendance woes though. Look at some footage from games from 2009 (they are all uploaded on youtube) and compare them to last year or 2017. There used to be a buzz in the ballpark even though the team and attendance was never great. White Sox fans have become apathetic and I don't blame them.

How can anyone call us cheap after we spent close to $50 million this offseason?

Local and national media blasting the Sox FO and ownership. KW:

Nothing wrong with arrogance if you earned it. Brady and Belichick are some arrogant MFers. It only becomes a problem when arrogance becomes delusion.

RH, the master of lawyer speak, after hearing about those quotes.
