Sign Kris Bryant, trade Vaughn for Tyler Mahle, and keep Sheets on the roster, everything is decided, WS 2022
 

 

 

This is the way.

The haters are furious.

I am so tired of Hahn speak

I would love to hear him speak tonight about our acquiring a legit SP for our rotation.

A moment of anticipation as a tweet loads and it's some fluff piece.

I'd be floored if they did it.  Very un White Sox.  But it does make some sense, I guess.  I am all for getting a year of control back.  Still need to sign an OF if that is the plan tho.  

Fully agree…100% dependent on signing Conforto.

Vaughn/Sheets platoon in RF is on the way!

It's going to be Vaughn as the everyday RF as long as it clicks vs RH pitchers (as should be expected). 

Engel will go to RF in late innings and Leury to LF.

Sheets will get the bulk of the starts at DH and sit vs LH pitchers, allowing Grandal to get off his knees and play 1B while Abreu going to DH. 

It's really not the end of the world as many see it. 

With that said, I really wish they would have done something a bit more grand at 2B.

Trying to compete now doesn't involve signing Andrelton Simmons as your starting SS.

Vaughn starting in RF every day is easier to stomach than the Sheets platoon being bandied about but it won't make not signing a real RF any less disappointing.  I want no part of Sheets playing the OF.  

When and if the Sox don't make a splash, I'll look back and remember that the White Sox spent

30 million dollars to Kimbrel/Leury/Harrison/Velasquez

The Sox could have signed:

Goodrum - 2.1 million
Conforto - 22 million
Wittgren - 1.2 million
Chris Martin - 3 million?

This argument is BS because Conforto is not signing for a 1 year deal.

Not really. He’s just factoring in 2022.

Given that Rick will give these same BS contracts out next off-season and the one after that, the point will continue to be accurate.

They want a left-handed bat

Who knew Keuchel and Grandal would encompass the entirity of "supplementing this core financially" from Hahn in Free-Agency three years ago.

If you would have told me when the rebuild started that the Sox weren't going to break the 100 million dollar threshold on any player in FA to support the rebuild I would have thought you were crazy. Now I know I was probably the crazy one.

That 0.0 WAR last year says otherwise. I get the other moves, but this idea aint it.
