You talking about Kopech?

Rodon...it was sarcasm relating to the debacle pen usage we saw last year

We should hopefully find out soon what the other offers were from the other teams. That usually gets leaked from the national writers.

Rodon 

I still think Rodon is worth a flier as a reliever. He has the velocity to do well in relief, but he's probably going to need some time to adjust to the new role.

He will be a starter somewhere

Window is OPEN...Bullpen is CLOSED. Good luck hitting after the 7th inning league.

Do they still have 7 inning double headers?

He’s the kind of guy we have tried to sign in the past to fill a rotation hole on a “buy low” deal

Fuck it, Bauer is reeling, offer a 2 year deal he can't refuse. On paper, it would be best lineup, rotation, and bullpen in the game.

This is what I want too, but since it won't happen I have set my cheap DH sights on CJ Cron.

I don’t think they will sign a DH only guy, it will be someone with some defensive versatility.

That is just bizarre.  I wonder what makes the Sox do the 4th year that way? Is there a luxury tax implication or something?

There's many ways to think about it but it seems like the Sox are trying to leverage the next three years and Hendricks is trying to leverage being 31 in a COVID offseason.

People will still think that Al’s and Portillos are fake. They were nails on this stuff. I’ll keep letting you believe posters from ages ago who pop up with some cryptic stuff and are wrong most of the time. I know who I’ll follow for inside info. Haven’t been wrong yet ?‍♂️

Aged like a fine wine. Thanks for getting this deal done.

I think this was well worth the wait! I must congratulate JR and the White Sox front office!

Hawk is happy.

•composure to close out close game - check 

•balls to tell your wife you ain’t going back to Canada - double check

Unbelievable. This is the most stacked Sox team of my lifetime, and it’s not particularly close. 

93 and 94 are pretty good teams.

So is this the largest free agent contract of the offseason?  I thought I saw that mentioned somewhere.

I saw that its a record salary per yr for a reliever

They definitely have some kind of source.

At that point they figure 3 World Championships is enough.

I think it's because the 4th year is an option yet he's still guaranteed 54 million that technically makes this a $18 million AAV deal.

Depends on how you view the 4th year, but realistically this is 4 year deal with an AAV of $13.5M.  But it is the biggest contract given out this offseason which shows pathetic things have been moving.

Is there a team off the field with more talent...maybe...the Yankees WAGs?

Absolutely! Credit where credit is due.
