bmags Posted November 29, 2021 Share Posted November 29, 2021 I'm still floored by Michael Lorenzen getting 7 million and it being in the AL. By the best of my accounts, he basically just said I want to be a starter, so the angels paid him like a starter, despite him being a bad reliever? What am I missing there?

My biggest concern all along is something like that.

However, it does seem like the only teams getting "team interested" tweets have front office personnel in or previously from New York.

We haven’t even addressed any of our needs yet except adding a reliever. We’re basically going to go into next season with the same team minus possibly Kimbrel, and García and Hernandez. No improvements. Edited November 29, 2021 by maloney.adam 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its conceivable that teams can win and win big with a hodge podge of talented athletes but for that to happen, you need a coach who can provide the right mix of nurture, instruction and discipline. The Sox could have hired AJ Hinch but opted for TLR. Okay...bad move, so now we have to supplement what we are calling the Core with players who can not only perform at a high level but also bring some of the chemistry, winning culture and baseball IQ to help turn our individual contributors into a team. Thats why I am now leaning toward Chris Taylor. If they are willing to go up to $70-75 million. And aren’t forced to go six years, that will be the clear end of those negotiations from the Sox side… Actually, all things being equal, he’ll stay with the Dodgers and White Sox would have to overpay by 10-15%. Has been on the West Coast pretty much his entire career. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheTruth05 Posted November 29, 2021 Share Posted November 29, 2021 Interesting the Correa front has been kind of silent. Wonder if he's going to wait for Seager to sign first Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lots of promises about adding players to get them over the top at the trade deadline…when the financial consequences of this week’s signings will set in for some of these teams that become non-contenders.

You don't know how hard I'm trying to not just be a total dick to you because I can't tell if your young or just have no idea what's going on. Free Agency isn't over yet. There's a big day of action and probably some free agents waiting until the new CBA is ironed out. Baseball offseasons normally take months and months for players to sign. Patience is key. There's a time to be annoyed and we're not there yet. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Still lots of Free agents left, every single player is still available in trade, people will also be available all the way to the trade deadline. Nobody cares what team you can field on Nov. 29th.

Flash Posted November 29, 2021 Share Posted November 29, 2021 Might have missed someone but haven't seen anyone too connected to Sox come off the board yet.
