Ok Sullivan

Stay out of White Sox business. 

Sullivan's write up and the Tribune's tweet don't really sinc up.

Not at all, but even making an article on the stroman tweet was pretty weak. He’s just so stretched thin.

I know this is ridiculous but I'm getting to the point where I just want to land one of these guys just to spite the media and casual fans.

NUKE CLEVELAND!!

 

Dear NSA,FBI

that was a reference to an old member who used to say that before playing the Indians.  I, in no way, endorse or have any knowledge of nukes!

I agree with you

This is why the Sox need to spend that bread. They need to get out of irrelevance and start getting big names to come here in their primes. We will never be the Yankees, Red Sox, Angels, or Cubs, but we can get some of that pie. 

I disagree. The Sox absolutely can be the Angels. They would naturally have lower attendance in April, but the Sox are a sleeping giant in terms of the fan base. If the team is managed right over a 10 year period, there's no reason at all they can't draw huge crowds and be a national presence, routinely signing top free agents. I just hope if and when we get there, the Sox have better luck with those free agents.

Even if the Yankees/Dodgers/Cubs interest is overblown and the money isn’t there, I don’t see how there’s any way the Phillies let the Sox get both.

That is literally the worst write-up ever.  Like he actually uses a random Stroman tweet for some reason even though Marcus said it was simply speculation.  That’s literally the Tribune article I’m ever reading.

He did say it on tv recently.

They have an incredibly conservative front office.  Just depends how much their owner dictates things.

Why would he need to repeat himself?  He’s already put his thoughts out there.

I just never heard him say that, so I wasn't sure if it was a month ago or more recent.
