March 22, 20197 yr It's really too bad that someone held a gun to Rick Hahn's head and forced him to trade away the greatest pitcher in White Sox history. Hahn should have at least filed a grievance with the league over that.

What wasn't the right move was allowing the guy who wasted his White Sox career to be the guy to trade him away. Rebuilding wasn't the wrong decision. The wrong decision was allowing the same architects that fucked up the last job the opportunity to try and fix it. I actually am not all that pissed with the trades that the Sox pulled off. I thought that the Sale trade was light, but......they shot for the moon, and I commend them for that. They didn't go for just your average players, they tried to get superstars. None have panned out so far, but they still may. I have a feeling that with a healthy season Robert is going to skyrocket up prospect lists this year. Edited March 22, 20197 yr by Jack Parkman

March 22, 20197 yr 1 hour ago, Dam8610 said: Xander Bogaerts I posted quite a while ago Sale would resign w Boston. I think the same on Bogaerts but Betts will be a FA. But we would never pay what he is going to want.
March 22, 20197 yr But it thought there was no way he was re-signing in Boston. All of these free agents down the line are getting signed. I thought options would be plentiful.

It was definitely the right move for JR and company's bottom line. The decision to rebuild or not is a matter of opinion.

The only guy on that list that would likely prove challenging is Cole. 2 hours ago, Jack Parkman said: Cole's agent is some guy named Scott With Sale off the market, Cole to the Yankees seems like a perfect match. Sabathia and Tanaka are FAs/retirees from their rotation next year so they have the money and need.

March 22, 20197 yr Just now, Jack Parkman said: I have no idea why they didn't do 1) initially They were still disillusioned enough to think James shields could help the ballclub reach the playoffs. The fact that they even traded anything to them for James Shields given his stats in that ballpark is astonishing. That is an all time great for KennyHahn.

You can't be more injured and not injured at the same time. If he had gone down for TJS that's one thing, but the guy actually wasn't hurt. The league isn't going to give you a redo for a deal you did where even if the medical records weren't complete, there wasn't anything of note.
