That grand slam. Alexei's rookie year was such a joy to watch.

I'd give him milb deal.  Why not.

Normally I would agree but does that make sense if there is no MILB this year? Where does he play then?

Waiting for first comment that he might now look older than Contreras, El Duque and Minoso...bet he’s still thin as a rail, and could put on a pretty good show in BP like Julio Franco recently did at 61.

Of course, we we will never forget that amazing (and heartbreaking, after CQ went down) 2008 season, especially the crazy four game stretch at the end.

A coaching staff with Ozzie, Alexei, AJ, and Thome would be more fun than the 2013-2019 White Sox

I mean, if he’s bad you cut him. If he’s good, he makes the 30/35/40 man roster. However big the roster is, it’s going to go deep whether that is daily rosters, or a tad squad or what. But this will be a different deal than we’re used to. Lots of guys who wouldn’t otherwise be playing in the bigs are going to get shots. 
the comment was mostly in jest tho. How old is Alexei? If I had to take a stab without looking - listed at 38, but probably in his early 40s.

Had to look. Nailed it.

and obviously meant taxi squad not tad squad.

Tell if  he gets Colas or Cespedas to sign with us then he is in for sure. 

My favorite random Alexei moment was from mid-2015 when he and Adam Eaton let a pop fly fall between them, then blamed each other.

 

I think I'm one of the few who thought Alexei was just not a very good ML player.   Very disappointing after a promising rookie season.

Alexei may not have been a "Very good" player, but he was absolutely a "Good" player for a number of years. Alexei also had the potential to be a very good to great player, so not reaching that potential was disappointing, but he was absolutely a fine player to have on our roster. If Tim Anderson had a career as productive as Alexei's we would be content. Not thrilled or delighted, but absolutely content. 

Will he play for a split of the profits? If so, let's go! 

I want no part of it. Alexei put very little effort out there, and was not a smart player. Go away.

No that ship has sailed 

Bring him in as a mentor or a minor league contract in a break glass in type of emergency type deal. Only if and when the fucking season is agreed to start.

Going to the dentist also more fun.
