Tampa still has cash.

Quote

Raley, 33, was one of the top lefty relievers on the market this winter. Since 2020, he’s posted a 31.8 K% and 7.6 BB% in 69 innings for the Reds and Astros. That strikeout rate ranks 22nd among all relievers during that time among those with at least 60 innings pitched.

I'm a "glass half full" kind of guy.  

 I honestly think we are much better than we played in the Astros series and health was one of our biggest downfalls this past season. 

 I also think that there is room to grow for many of your young players (Eloy, Robert, Vaughn, Moncada) and what we saw last season is not the ceiling for everyone of these guys. 

 I also think that our current starting rotation situation is in way better shape than many want to give credit for.   I'd love to have another frontline starter, but that's a luxury at this point.  

Invest in the bullpen.  Trade Kimbrel for a 2B.   I'm fine with with Vaughn in RF.  Extend TA and Giollito. 

 

 

If thats your offseason, enjoy another first round exit.  TA and Giolito will not provide a deep discount.  I doubt if JR has the stones to give them a fair market deal.

Who on Earth is it who cares so much about white sox fans believing that the front office is working hard? Even if he's completely making all this up, why would he think that's something he should push literally every trade deadline and offseason?

the front office cares about the public perception. In order to keep his source Cishek probably says whatever they want him to say. And they want sox fans to think they're being aggressive and working hard, which signals to me they're trying to save face for when nothing happens before the lockout.

That’s what I’m praying for at the very least.

obviously he says they are working hard because he wants people that follow him to believe that action is possible, urgent and continuing to engage in his charade. If he said they weren't working on anything, then why pay attention to the white sox fake insider acct? They are always working hard! Close to a deal!

They're working hard trying to figure out how they misread the market so fucking bad.

Who’d they miss out on? Semien and Gausmann are my guesses.

I hope this isn't in reference to Kimbrel and the interest in him around the league.

Well this is super depressing.

Also, they could have misread the market for Conforto. Probably thought they could get him to sign already for much less than it will actually take.

Im sure at the time nearly everybody thought what they did at the trade deadline was impressive one way or another

I wonder where all these broke owners get the money for these contracts. Maybe JR needs a gofundme page.

I believe anything that is intimated as insider info. Even TRL airplane sightings.
