I just find it funny one of the players Hahn has reportedly been interested in in the past is now available and he won’t be able to land him because ya know….money

November 18, 20223 yr In all seriousness hopefully things start to pick up on the Sox end now that the non tenders will be all issued tonight and Hahn can get his dumpster diving started
November 18, 20223 yr Just now, Quin said: In a vacuum, Conforto or Bellinger? I'm going Belly. He's a better defender, younger, and at least is coming off a season he played. Plus the shift moving and some extra hunger - who knows. The other thing I'd point out - he can play multiple outfield positions well (i.e., CF), so if you pivvot Robert or need to reset, it increaess flexibility. So yeah - I like Belly a lot. He could flame out - but I still see his value as a base runner and defender as creating a good floor.

November 18, 20223 yr Pretty depressing when we’re in our championship window salivating over a couple of guys who haven’t been productive in two years and can’t even afford them on a 1/$15M type deal because our owner is a cheap fucking asshole.

Let’s be real, the cheap bastards somehow convinced us that they had a viable window when they were never gonna pony up for a legit contender to begin with. If they can’t or won’t spend over some bad money they never wanted to compete in the first place.

It is depressing that we all know Nimmo would solve so many issues for this team, he's going to sign a contract all 30 teams could afford without issue, and yet... there's no chance Jerry would sign off on it.

If they can’t or won’t spend over some bad money they never wanted to compete in the first place. Let's be equally real. They spent a lot of money this year. They spent more than the Astros did this year. They spent more than the Astros did in 2017. They spent more than the Nationals did in 2019. They spent more than the Braves did in 2021. They spent more than the Cubs did in 2016. They spent more than the Royals did, ever. They actually did spend money. They did what we wanted them to do on the total budget line. They finished 6th in payroll - the only one of those teams who was 6th in payroll was the Cubs, all of the recent "complete a rebuild then win a title" teams spent less. They actually spent money. They did so in an unfathomably stupid way.

Yet seemingly have the same holes year in and year out making spending even more important because they didn’t fix the issues to begin with, yet we all know they wont

Yet legit championship contenders find ways to fill holes despite bad money. The Sox have already signalled that they’ve thrown up their hands and aren’t serious about improving, be it in dollars or in those making decisions. My point remains in that they aren’t serious about putting themselves on the same level.

Oh for sure. He should be attainable and would be a perfect fit, but I’ve already come to terms he won’t be happening this off-season. Not being able to afford a lesser LH OF option on a 8 figure pillow contract is a far more egregious offense. Edited November 19, 20223 yr by Chicago White Sox
