Keuchel had a couple of great years. lol. Jose Abreu isn’t a star but Blake Snell is? Now I know you’re just trolling. And Keuchel has had a better career than Snell too. I guess there’s another star signed by the Sox.

Keuchel had a couple of great years. I don’t agree with your descriptions of Snell and Keuchel. You’re either overrating Snell or underrating Keuchel. If Snell didn’t have that one phenomenal year, people would not think as highly of him. And I’m not trying to take that year away from him. It absolutely counts and he deserves credit for it, but it’s not like he’s come close to repeating that year ever. Edited December 28, 20205 yr by SoxBlanco

Lol JR'S cheapness has at least given me unlimited, giddy replay value in MLB video games to construct "fantasy" rosters comprised of players we were "supposed" to get.
December 29, 20205 yr 5 minutes ago, Chicago White Sox said: If Hendriks in this market is too expensive then our contention window is already doomed. What you posted earlier is so true. Jr is to blame for most of this. Always tripping on a 20 to pick up a dollar. It's his fault for tatis. Not wanting to pick up Shields full salary was obviously the reason tatis was involved in the trade. The trading Internatonal pool money to the rangers cost the sox a potentially good player. Everything you said is so spot on. He's so short sighted.

We know that the Padres majority owner has a controlling interest greater than 50%. Do we know if JR has a controlling share (greater than 50%) of the White Sox? Not defending Sox ownership, but the politics impacting goal setting in each organization could be vastly different.

They let us know instantly they could not afford Brantley which was pathetic that they did that but have not done so with Hendriks. I’m staying optimistic.

It’s a fair question but I’m pretty sure that Reinsdorf has absolute power as Chairman despite a lack of controlling interest.

To be fair, they said they couldn’t afford Brantley and achieve their other offseason objectives.
