Don’t get sucked in yet once again I typically agree with you, and I'll believe it when I see it. Nobody knows what Jerry's thinking though. I wouldn't say non-zero, but maybe as high as 5%? That's just me being optimistic lol. Edited December 1, 20205 yr by Jack Parkman

December 1, 20205 yr Wish there were some legs to this. Not just someone throwing shit at all seeing if it sticks.

December 1, 20205 yr 4 minutes ago, Chicago White Sox said: Joel Sherman has legs and said he’d pick the Sox if it were a life or death situation. Seems pretty legit to me. Can any insider give us a heads up if they are even talking to him or have interest? Easy to just make a prediction based on who's out there, team need, what a team's payroll is currently, etc. I doubt Sherman actually knows if they are discussing a deal or not. Edit: He's not basing on anything other than educated guess, therefor , no legs. Edited December 1, 20205 yr by manbearpuig

Sherman is operating under the assumption that the Sox will be at the top of a bidding war. That’s easier said than done with Jerry Reinsdorf being the owner of this team.

Sherman is legit, but I don't think he actually had any real info. I honestly think he was just trying to think of which team Bauer would be a good fit for. And I'm usually one of the more optimistic people here. I thought we'd sign Machado, I thought we would land Wheeler, and I think we will sign Springer. I just don't see Bauer happening.

I don't know about that man, but hey, I love your optimism. Reminds me of the Manny Machado winter. Jerry surprises us every couple of decades. We're overdue.

The rest basically stuck to factual blurbs, and zero opinion. I don’t want to derail this into another La Russa thread, but that’s not true at all. A quick google search shows both Paul Sullivan & Rick Morrissey ripping him and the Sox for the DUI. Those are the two biggest local news outlets and they both ripped him. I’m not saying New York wouldn’t have been worse, just saying there has been a general disdain for the hiring amongst Chicago media and it has gotten worse after the DUI.

I’m just playing board hype man, but realistically I’d put us around 10%. Had Harold not laughed at the idea I’d probably put us around 20% as I truly don’t see a ton of teams in the mix. The Mets are a legit threat and the Angels are scary if they decide to pursue him, but other than them I don’t see a team more likely to land him than us unless these rumors we’re revving up to spend are completely false.
