Lol it’s hilarious. The idea that one of the best bats in baseball who is good defensively will make the team not significantly better.

My argument is that money would've been better spent on Cole or Strasburg, if they were even in that stratosphere.

    All I want is an owner that gives a shit and spends. Don’t lie to fans and tell them the money will be spent and then fabricate stories to try and placate the fans. This franchise is pathetic. Rick Ha

    I want a girl to love me as much as you love Billy Hamilton.

  • Well he successfully feigned high demand for a flawed player he was trying to get rid of, such that he got a GM to give him its #6 prospect for him.  That's something.

Dallas Kuechel is White Sox for "Carlos Boozer" 

ChiSoxMike stole your like on twitter!

Does anybody actually believe the Sox are doing the right thing in not even sniffing on Rendon? 
I see it as Moncada+Rendon >>> Only Moncada

You make room for really good players

Yasmani Grandal just called and he wants his free agency back.

The Abreu contract, while absolutely horrible, actually decreased his salary in 2020.  

Because he took the QO.  That's not the argument.

7/245 done deal

Lol...honestly he could be.  Really sad that he’s the caliber of free agent we should probably expect at this point.

And it’s done. 7 for 245. ?

Huh?

definitely not attainable for a team with only an 86 million payroll 

Would have been an even friendlier contract than what they offered Machado

7 years, 250 million with some of the manny accelerators honestly probably gets this done.

And it will be a fight to get him.

The money will be spent!

I think Hahn hyped up the two starter angle long enough that even he knows he needs to land one name guy.  That guy will likely be Keuchel and my guess is he will get around 3/$60M.

He didn't (additionally) mention that they would be from the Korean and Japanese leagues...

With as much as this board complains about defense......

Listen, of course Rendon makes this team better. It's just a dumb allocation of resources for the Sox. 

Seems pretty affordable for a superstar 3B.

Yup, thought 7/250 would get it done. 

Weird.

Nice job Sox, proving to be all in.

Rendon deal done 245 mil for 7 years 

Done deal

Damn... there goes that hope. That seems like a reasonable deal too

Cheaper and better than the machado deal. Poor play Whitesox

Rendon never made sense. 

Why move a budding star who is a GG caliber 3B to spend a bunch of money to downgrade two positions defensively? 

It would be spending money just to say you did it. 

It would be spending your money as effectively as possible.  Now we’re stuck with second & their tier free agents or just nothing to spend it on.  But hey, I wouldn’t want to love Moncada around again.
