Yet we are to believe that all the FA's we have an interest in have multiple teams interested in them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not currently interested in a brand new Mercedes. But I will put an offer on the table of $5000 for one right now. Cash. Take that to any dealer you want, I'm good for it if they are.

Ross Gload Fan Posted January 8, 2021 Share Posted January 8, 2021 Can we get a title change to hopefully swing us some good juju? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flash Posted January 9, 2021 Share Posted January 9, 2021 6 hours ago, Chicago White Sox said: We need to add a pitcher so trading Cease for Burnes is net neutral even if you’re getting more certainty of that spot. Plus I’d really like to avoid moving Cease and let him work with a non Don Cooper pitching coach. True that but we would have Burnes at top of the rotation and that would make all the difference.

fathom Posted January 9, 2021 Share Posted January 9, 2021 Astros most aggressive team on high leverage relievers, with Hendriks a big focus https://mobile.twitter.com/ByRobertMurray/status/1347553260685684751 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
YourWhatHurts Posted January 9, 2021 Share Posted January 9, 2021 To me this Hendriks pursuit is like watching a bunch of kids having an easter egg hunt in the back yard, and you know there's a landmine in there because you just saw the dog take a dump in the grass this morning, and you're just sitting there watching and hoping that it's not your kid who ends up stepping into the pile of shit while trying to win a prize. 1 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

quickman Posted January 9, 2021 Share Posted January 9, 2021 Actually almost sick of Hendricks at this point . Hope they have a back up. Lots of free agents out there in all positions, many will settle for less . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tdsox17 Posted January 9, 2021 Share Posted January 9, 2021 Liam Hendriks. Weeks and weeks of checking to see if we got Liam. Hendriks. Good God, baseball. Figure it out. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maloney.adam Posted January 9, 2021 Share Posted January 9, 2021 (edited) I think they are almost at the point where they should really consider trying to sign someone else.

This is like a late-run Cubs kind of move. Cease, Kopech, Crochet, etc. are just babies. Robert really has no idea what he is doing at the plate right now. Maybe Eloy is Manny Ramirez or Albert Belle even as another poster comped, etc., one day, but he's still getting there. Giolito hasn't even thrown 200IP in a season yet, etc. We're not at the part of our window where we need to be taking on multiyear deals where we just throw caution to the wind in years 3, 4, and so on because we have rationalized that it's all worth it on the back end if we win while we still have a chance. The "window" IMO isn't even "fully open" yet; it's just cracked. This team has a great shot at winning the ALC because the ALC is a pile of crap, but we're still growing, and we're not at the levels of the truly elite teams in the game right now. We're definitely lesser than the Yankees in the AL, maybe on par with the Rays, on par maybe with Oak and it's debatable, close with Min, and in the NL we're definitely not the Dodgers or Padres, and probably lesser than the Mets ATM as well.

We literally can't know any more about the guy. He likes dogs. His wife is Canadian. He is a Codeify guy. He's Australian. He liked the Sox in a sound bite after he shoved it up their ass in game 3. He's also Liam Hendriks. Not Mariano Rivera. Sign him. Or don't. FFS! 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He met with the Jays earlier in the week. He's probably finishing up his visits or getting in the final team pitches. He only gets this contract once, I don't blame the guy for taking his time.
