I don’t buy that they’ve made a decision on him for one second. Won’t be surprised at all if they trade Vaughn for a SP and resign Jose.

Also won’t be surprised if Jose does move onto another team and Vaughn remains with us.

The 2023 off-season is going to be very revealing for sure. If they go into the season with 4 glaring fucking holes again… they are fucking clueless or don’t really give a s%*#.

They don't give a s%*#. 

I find it hilarious that the word f*** is so versatile that random variations evade the swear filter. Lol.

f*** those fucking fuckers and their fuckery.

But neither Eloy or AV can be relied on to last a full season without spells on the IL whereas Jose has been fairly robust over the seasons, and as for not being able to hit 20 hrs this season, neither did any other White Sox batter, so should we get rid of them as well?

Ok sure you're right about Eloy for sure. But Jose isn't signing to be a part time player. If we keep him and start him bc of what ifs then he'd start and put us back to having terrible OF defense. 

Your 1B needs to have more than 15 hr power. Eloy was hurt, EV played his first real season, Robert injured, etc. As you said, Jose doesn't miss much time. Yet he hit below 20 hrs.

I know where you are coming from as AV needs to be moved to 1B if he is to contribute properly and Eloy needs to be DH if he is to avoid missing half the season by getting himself injured again. I am just concerned that we may regret ditching one of the most consistent hitters in the team, he could bounce back with more power next season.

Basically, this whole mess has been caused by bad roster building by the FO that has resulted in so many 1B/DH types and Grandal who is basically a DH now at best, along with Eloy. Realistically I know that not renewing Jose is the easiest option, but it would be hard to see him for another team next season especially if he still produces.

The ball was dead this season for gosh sakes. Also a starter only goes 4-5 innings. That means 2-3 at bats are against guys that throw 95 then after you foul two off get you out with a cutter. Granted some of these relievers are hacks but more often than not they either walk a guy or strike out a guy. Jose has more than 15 HR power. He will prove that for his next team if it's a live ball.

Agreed for the most part but Judge didnt seem to care, imagine how many more dingers he would have hit under normal circumstances?

Abreu on the Cub's radar.

Let them have him.  The Sox need to construct their roster to win and already have a 1B for the future.

You say that now, but wait until he signs with the Cubs and you'll hear the crying!

Jose hits very well at Wrigley. Makes a ton of sense.

Brilliant move by Jose's agent.  Nothing will get Reinsdorf's blood boiling hotter than his favorite player threatening to sign with the Cubs.

Sure, but he wouldn't be hitting against Cubs pitching anymore, which would hurt him.

Certainly possible but keep in mind this is Bruce Levine, Chicago's answer to Nightengale. (I.e. a guy who more often than not is wrong...)

Neither are wrong when it comes to the White Sox.

Bruce has never been right about the white sox, he staked his reputation on the white sox signing Omar Vizquel and 6 hours later he signed a 3 year deal with the giants.  He doesn’t break news about them, he has zero sources

I mean, Bruce is never wrong about the White Sox if you never take what he says at face value.

He hasn’t been right about anything since bro.  I know you latch on to anything that fits your narrative but Bruce ain’t it

Bruce was probably the most accurate during the Machado "pursuit" 

Bob and Bruce are wrong a lot in general, but when it comes to the White Sox I'd believe them over anyone else in baseball media.

Right on Jack, Bruce was impeccable

or if you want to believe Josh, then they still offered 7 lmao

 

Bruce is a joke

I already told you how I think that went down. The Sox offer was 7/175 until Machado got the $300M offer from San Diego. Then, the Sox "offered" him an inferior deal that they knew had zero chance of being accepted so they could look slightly less ridiculous.

Yea that doesn’t make Bruce right about anything, that’s your theory

Wonder what the reaction would be if Abreu signs with Cubs and the White Sox sign Wilson Contreras.
