White Sox Sign RP Joe Kelly (2yrs with a club option; $17m)
Nonsense - HUH? 2021 Sox Pitching Staff gave up 3rd fewest hits, 4th fewest HR, 3rd most K’s, 5th lowest ERA but alright whatever you think, pal.

Sox sign 2B Josh Harrison (1 yr, 5.5M; club option; 1.5M buyout)
2 time all star who plays the game hard. He should be fun to watch with TA7. Other orgs. may have a high asking price on 2B’s.

White Sox Sign RP Joe Kelly (2yrs with a club option; $17m)
I disagree. With Kopech moving into rotation, a bullpen of guys like Crochet, Bummer, Graveman, Kelly, and Hendriks (+CK?) has to be best in the bigs. Knowing your starter went 5 or 6 and you can fill/dominate 9+ outs is a great feeling.

You want to keep watching Jose Ruiz?

Levine links Sox to Conforto
Quit the Draft Picks BS. How many 2nd Round Draft picks accrue over 5 years MLB service time…? I, or anyone, would think a Top International Prospect in their respective class should be counted on as future contributors to the Big League ball club…
-
Levine links Sox to Conforto
Conforto for 1 Year $15-$20M w/ an option makes sense. Not going to block Cespedes and/or Colas.

Fathoming Bauer not securing a job anywhere?
If Aroldis Chapman can still be allowed on a roster, so will Bauer. Will Bauer be “blackballed” like Puig & Ozuna, probably.

Burger working out at 2B
Good for Jake. Hope it works out and proves people wrong. Fact of the matter is most MLB teams would rather have a strong bat/iffy glove than iffy bat/strong glove in the lineup these days

Why Yoan is unlikely to go back to 2B
This is a Non-Story. Garfein, Duber, etc. are looking for clicks during the lockout.... Imagine they'll come out with some more WHAT IF scenarios.

2022 Offseason Plan Thread
Still on the table is…? Looking at present availability in the market and Sox needs. 2B - Story signing (Long Shot). Ketel Marte (Ideal Scenario) or Nick Solak (This would be a Sox move to buy low on a former 2nd Rounder) trade. RF - Castellanos or Conforto. Long Shot Bryant. Relief - Tepera. SP - Knowing Sox, they will take a flyer on an innings eater, if anyone. Otherwise, trade with Oakland. RE MC - If the Sox are a perfect fit for Conforto, why hasn’t he signed yet? Doesn’t add up to me.

MLB 2021-2 off season thread
Stroman is the MLB Odell Beckham. Talent is arguably there but very, very few will take on the circus in the locker room/off the field.
-
MLB 2021-2 off season thread
Stroman saying he will never play for TLR because of what he stands for but then turns around and signs with a team owned by the RICKETTS family. What a hypocrite ?
-
Cesar Hernandez to Nationals, $4M
This. Hernandez was coming off a gold glove and career power numbers. No one could have predicted a huge flop going to a better team...
-
White Sox sign Leury Garcia to 3 year deal
Marcus Stroman's Twitter account is probably playing himself out of contract offers.

Corey Seager to the Rangers: 10Y, 325M
Solak would be an instant fan favorite w/ the Sox. https://www.mlb.com/news/nick-solak-enjoying-playing-hometown-white-sox https://www.dallasnews.com/sports/rangers/2020/02/29/rangers-nick-solak-is-a-south-side-throwback-right-down-to-the-bar-he-was-named-after/

Javy Baez Signs 6YR 140M Deal with Tigers - Morosi
The @MLB instagram account shoving his routine plays with a lot of pastry down people’s throats helped give Baez a lot more $ than he deserves.
-
Corey Seager to the Rangers: 10Y, 325M
Nick Solak and Isiah Kiner-Falefa are certainly both available to pry from the Rangers now. Solak, from Woodridge (Grew up HUGE Sox Fan), and IKF (Gold Glover), are solid 2B options. Certainly better than Mendick/Garcia/Hernandez.
-
Semien to Rangers, 7 for $175
Gallo does not like New York. Has many friends w/ Rangers org. He may go back there next year.
-
Semien to Rangers, 7 for $175
Trade for Nick Solak. Grew up a Sox fan. Semien and Story will take his job.
-
Kendall Graveman agrees to deal w/Sox 3/$24
One of the failed starters who clicked as a reliever.

Conforto rejects QO, enters free agency
Conforto signs… what happens to Cespedes / Colas?
-
GM Meetings - Front Office Diversity
Keith Law is a woke blue checkmark who sucks his thumb. Fact of the matter is African Americans prefer to play other sports than Baseball. Until Basketball, Football, etc. are no longer around, nothing is going to change for “diversity numbers” in Baseball.

Offseason Thread
Can you read Cusack? The sentence is plural for multiple years.

Offseason Thread
Oscar Colas or Y. Cespedes will probably be in RF for next year(s) playoff run(s). As much as us fans would like Semien, would bet the SS Stingy Pockets of JR instruct RH and KW to tell Burger he can play 2B if he puts the work in. No more monkey business with pitchers. Pick up guys who THROW STRIKES. Houston executed all series on taking advantage of Cws mistakes.

Do the White Sox have new minority ownership?
WhiteSoxDave was saying on RedLineRadio a few episodes ago he heard a rumor the next owner is set in stone but won't say who. Also, that money will never be a problem with Free Agents.
