That was a much needed few moments of action.  More please!  Looking at you White Sox…

Sox have been extremely active, just not very exciting additions unfortunately

So do you see us making anymore moves? Or we’re done?

At this rate lets just go bring back Goodwin and call it an off-season.

If they’re done then shame on them. But no, I will be shocked if there’s not at least one more significant transaction.

Worst case scenario, I think they'll add underwhelming depth options to the RF mix and rotation. Something like Joc and Greinke on 1 year deals wouldn't surprise me at all.

Why would you want a scrub like that blocking Andrew Vaughn?

Cause it’s a similar move I expect them to make. 

Guardians, lol?? Pretty sure this reporter had the Cruz news first, so maybe there's some smoke here.

It's just Hector being Hector. Just like he did with us last year and Cruz.

It's possible the Twins and Guardians see the Sox dumpster diving and think the division can be had.

Yep, I’m sure in the last 24 hours they decided to completely alter their plans

Joe Kelly isn’t a dumpster dive. Valesquez, yes. Harrison is an ok pickup right now however if he has a really good year, than it was worth the gamble and it turns into an excellent pickup. He’s also a two time all-star.

That's some wild drugs they got into then.

I have no doubt that they’ve been active.  I’m just impatient. ?

Maybe it’s not the Twins and Guardians on the drugs?

Did the White Sox have a fire sale and no one told us?  Cuz, I mean, there are delusions and then there’s whatever you’re smoking…

There are 6 AL playoff teams. Both of those franchises could win 86 games and challenge for them. Both made the playoffs in 2020.

Does anyone seriously think that this team is better than the one that got their asses kicked by Houston last October? 

The only argument is that a healthy Eloy/Robert would win more games. 

Any injuries to important pitchers and suddenly you're throwing Lopez and Velasquez out there.

A playoff spot =|= challenging for the division.  Come on now.

Just save your hourly Sox meltdowns for when all the free agents sign elsewhere.  No one knows anything right now

God forbid one of Giolito/Lynn/Cease gets hurt long-term and that's all it takes.

The team that got their asses kicked in October ran away with the division and lazily coasted into the post season.  Did I miss where Minny and Cleve got significantly better?  Sox aren’t fighting with Houston for the AL Central here, get a grip.

Pretty sure nearly every team in baseball will have issues if they lose one of the better starters in baseball

There is a handful of young players who can realistically produce a lot better this year, just due to experience. If they all improve concurrently this will be a significantly better a team. The bullpen has potential to be outstanding. The offseason isn't over. Most teams seem reticent to make big impact moves, not just the Sox.
