Okay I think it's time to put on my tinfoil hat, but I don't believe him here. They seem too eager to deny this shit. They are definitely in it, or are least continue to monitor the situation.

Speaking of the Lozano-Boras rivalry: How satisfying would it be for Boras to claim that he was the one who was able to get over 300M from Jerry Reinsdorf? Something Lozano was unable to. Get it done Scott!

I fully expect Boras to leak an agreement tomorrow morning just to fuck with Lozano.

That sounds a lot more positive than his previous tweet. ?

Exactly, the Sox leak their BS to Nightengale and Levine and their legit stuff to Rosenthal.

Kind of an aside, but I just checked Albert's stats in Anaheim. He put up an OPS above .800 exactly ONCE. That's brutal.

Let's not act that a lot of the first tier free agents didn't completely bomb. Off the top of my head: Pujols, Fielder, Heyward and Chris Davis.

The Sox have 6 good OF prospects lined up, however, to bet that 50% off them become first division starters is just dumb. A couple of them will almost certainly lose some of their value this year.

Don't want to drive up the price for the Phillies. ?

Yeah, if you were cynical you could say all of that was done in bad faith to sell season tickets.

Todd Ritchie pitched 835 innings of 4.71 ERA ball his career ERA+ of 98 is below average. What a strange hill to die on. ?

I mean on a year to year basis the difference between 10/300 and 10/350 is negligible.

Exactly! The fact that this teams' biggest contract in history is Jose Abreu's 6/68 deal is just ridiculous and embarassing for a team in a major (heck even in a mid sized) market.

I can count how often players left money on the table over the past decade on one hand. And they shouldn't leave any money on the table. It's a business.

Sign Bryce and Marwin and we're talking about a great offseason.

Yep, the White Sox are the team that likes to spend their entire paycheck at a dollar store.

Keep moving those goalposts? I think this is what people here call "getting caulfielded"

These takes are just scorching hot ? btw. Dallas Keuchel had a 5+ ERA his first 2 seasons in the big leagues.

2010 off season was pretty bad too. Ozzie insisted that they didn't have enough AB's for Jim Thome only to give those ABs to a washed up Mark Kotsay and Andruw Jones, who was actually pretty decent. Thome continued to be Jim Thome for the Twins.

?

So was Manny's "disdain" for the West Coast. None of that shit matters. Playing 9 games a year in Cleveland don't matter. The only thing that matters is getting paid.

Ironically, Alonso has an option that vests after 550 PAs and they will show his brother in law ways how a team can manipulate that to get rid of the player.

Don't post anything for 2 days or so. If you look at the replies, people are just hurling insults at the FO and Jerry Reinsdorf anyway. To post spring training fluff is just tone deaf. ?‍♂️

The White Sox are just great at PR. That interview sounded awesome and the White Sox twitter account seems like it's completely oblivious ?

Yeah I gave it a D . Anyone could have traded three premium talents on bargain deals. However, to his credit he got Cease and Jimenez from the Cubs who are among the best prospects in the game now. However none of the B-tier prospects he acquired by trading Duke, Soria et al. have shown anything at all. Mostly because they went for older prospects without much upside. FA signings have been atrocious, intl. FA has been pretty bad, he put all of his eggs in the Robert basket. Let's see how that turns out.
