Interesting.  I think the Cubs get Correa and Murph goes to the Cards.  Hopefully we get some action at these meetings.  

I believe the Cubs will sign Swanson or Turner.

Yep. He's giving Hahn just enough rope to hang himself.  

Careful what you wish for.....next man up in JR's family tree would be Daryl Boston for GM.

Things are never worse than you thought they were going to be.  Stop kidding yourself. 

Last year I expected 85-88 wins and I thought that was super pessimistic. They won 81 and the entire offense sucked. While I thought it was possible that the offense could be worse than most on ST expected, I didn't expect everyone except Abreu to take a giant crap on the plate. 

In 2021 I really was checked out after TLR, Eloy and Robert.

These threads are always spectacular. 

THIS GUY SUCKS!

Oh, by the way, we should trade him to the best franchise in baseball, they will give us value for him!

For anyone interested, the MLB draft lottery will be aired on MLB network Tuesday at 7:30 central. 

Winter Meetings for Sox

White Sox : Anthony Santander OF and Jordan Westburg INF

Baltimore: Lucas Giolito and Matthew Thompson

Sign Sean Manaea: 2 years/ $26 million with a $14 million option/$2 million buyout.

For maximum SoxTalk carnage: Back to the Sox for Montgomery, Colas, Crochet and Giolito.

The only good trade would be Keuchel for tatis, sadly

Tony gets announced as team President.

2023 Season -  

Padres: Colas ROY, Giolito Top 5 Cy Young Voting, Crochet either stretched out into a starter or stabilizes the Padres bullpen, Montgomery ends year as #1 prospect. Face Jose Abreu in the World Series.

White Sox: Tatis runs into Eloy Jimenez on a routine fly ball, both are out 6 months.

Lol this would totally happen. 

I look forward to the 174 page thread about some player this peanut butter and jelly franchise can't afford

I got you…

If the White Sox trade Liam Hendriks to the Dodgers and you don't get Busch or Stone back, why even bother?

 

And if the answer is that Hendriks doesn't have that kind of value, then why not just trade Graveman instead (for a lesser return, but still clears money)?

You joke, but they already let it slip that he'll still be involved...

Because the Dodgers have other pieces that could help us

I'm down!  :lolhitting

I think salvy would be good for this team. Very good.

I think you also pay the price to move Grandal and KC swaps the 3 year liability for a 1 year.

Would be amazing to watch salvy turn into a white Sox pumpkin like so many before him lol

Wonder what his cost would be. Big contract. 

Salvy's contract is really gross.  No thanks. 

Salvy would be a much needed presence that demands things lacking on this team like "paying attention during the baseball game" though. The "setting an example by paying attention while half the team is not paying attention" wasn't working, imo.

His contract is not good, but if we didn't have that contract, it's true we could sign  a redemption fifth starter with that money. Or a 30+ year old slap hitting infielder. Or an outfielder who can only hit one site of a platoon.

These are tough tough calls.

Do you realize that Scott Boras is Manaea agent?

Why don’t we give the new coaching staff a chance to hold players accountable before acquiring a player with a bad contract to do so?  I get our spending has been bad and I’m not overly optimistic it will get much better anytime soon, but eating up 10% or more of our payroll space for the next three years on Perez seems like a crazy thing to do.
