November 29, 20214 yr Soxtalk continues to be better at reading the market then the front office, then.

November 29, 20214 yr If they misread the market, which should surprise exactly no one, they need to pair a prospect or eat some money on DK to help open up some extra cash.

MLBTR tends to hit the mid market better, where this board is always shocked when an average SP gets 10+M

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? Because it works. Despite all of his gaffes over the years, most fans still think he's an effective GM and are fans of Hahn.
November 29, 20214 yr but i was ripped on for suggesting how shit the front office has been at evaluating MLB talent and that this offseason would be more of the same! oh well, looks like it is.

I have to go look at Soler or someone like that now for context. Edit: Good God his career DRS is nearly twice as bad as Soler's in the OF in a comparable number of games. This may be what it looks like if I were a big league outfielder.

Yeah, I’m not exactly sure where all this benefit of the doubt towards the front office came from.
November 29, 20214 yr Just now, Look at Ray Ray Run said: But the Sox were going to act like a BIG MARKET team and spend big money this off-season!!! I'm going to laugh and cry if they get hosed on a Kimbrel deal. It seemed so painfully obvious that buying him out was the right call, yet the White Sox and many here were convinced he had trade value even at 16mil.
November 29, 20214 yr 1 minute ago, hi8is said: Conforto’s prediction is 1/20. you know to start the offseason I would have said there's no way he takes a 1 year deal, but maybe he gets an AAV he likes and thinks he can recreate what Semien did (or moustakas before that?) I still think there's plenty of money sloshing around that he finds what he wants, but wouldn't be shocked if he did it now.
November 29, 20214 yr I don’t even want Conforto at one year. Sign him now for multiple years and fix what has been a problem now for how many years?
