Why didn’t the Sox go after marte for right field. Did I miss something . He was cheap in todays world and could spell in center field . I maybe old but this seems like something they could have done .

Because we are cheap/broke and spend our dollars on players we can ditch quickly. We tend to shop for bargains and hope they have breakout or bounce back years.

Conforto will cost more probably 100 this is my only issue so far . He would have been the right sign. Then go get your 2bman

Many of us wanted him as well - there’s really zero reason we shouldn’t have. He’s been the most reasonable position player who has signed and fits our teams needs well… regardless of him being right handed. Dude crushes RHP.

I'm not sure Conforto is within our years range. They for sure probably want his contract at 4 years.

I'm probably in the minority in that I am happy the Sox stayed away from him. Soon to be 33 year old where most if not all his value is tied to his legs. He mashes RHP, but doesn't hit all that many HR's. If his legs go, the Mets will quickly regret that contract.

This was what I liked. He is athletic and a really good defensive player and would be a great fit in RF - and could spell for Robert or switch over in case of an injury.

Isn’t it funny that we’ve seen his range be from 1 year to 5 years and from 20 million for the contract to 100 million.

Bottom line is that no one has a good pulse on him but I still think we end up with one of him, Castellanos, or Schwarber.

Conforto + 2B trade + SP trade or a depth signing is what I keep circling back to.

He also hits a ton of grounders. I wouldn't have been mad if we got him, but I think Conforto is the better fit. 

I’ve been browsing Twitter less than 24 hours… my quality of life is already worse but I can whole heartedly say that these two Tweets are the best related to the Sox that will occur all year:

 

Jack Parkman thinks people from the suburbs who claim they're from Chicago are posers. #WhiteSox

Per sources, Reynaldo López thinks Ghostbusters II is better than Ghostbusters. #WhiteSox

Good. ?

While I doubt we were in on him, also not surprised if Marte wanted to stay a CFer. Seems way more fun than corner.

That's not me. It's some other guy using the same handle. 

I think that opinion is ridiculous.

It’s just ironic that a bot linked your username to the White Sox.

I mean we all know Jack's actual quotes are way more ridiculous.  The relative sanity was a dead giveaway.

But he didn’t say subtractions, so Kimbrel is going nowhere!!

F. No one wants to wait this lockout through to see moves. Especially when the Bears suck. At least the Bulls are promising I guess.

No one thinks the Sox will add no more players, jfc.

The thought is they'll add shit players that they hope to strike gold with... you know, like they've done the past 97 million years.

I'm looking forward to Chuck and Ozzie telling everyone how the Sox have the best bullpen in baseball....just like last season.
