December 29, 20232 yr I’m not sure I’ve ever seen a team dumpster dive this much. Just sell the team Jerry
December 29, 20232 yr Well it’s painfully obvious there will be 0 attempt at spending even a little bit of $ to sign a guy with upside to flip later.

December 29, 20232 yr It’s $1.75M plus up to a potential $1M in performance bonuses. https://www.mlbtraderumors.com/2023/12/white-sox-agree-to-one-year-deal-with-chris-flexen.html I remember him as a Mets prospect. He was a rotation piece / end starter for the Mariners last year but flamed out and then Colorado picked him up for the league minimum. He had a 3.4 bWAR in 2021, and 1.2 bWAR in 2022, so there has been recent success. Perhaps Bannister saw something in him. I’m five with these type of gambles and hope a few blossom next season. Ironically Brian Bannister is third in terms of similarity scores with Chris Flexen. https://www.baseball-reference.com/players/f/flexech01.shtml Edited December 30, 20232 yr by South Side Hit Men

December 30, 20232 yr Perfect use for the paper bag emoji. Any move they make use it in the first post.
December 30, 20232 yr Imagine a future in which the White Sox finally realize that signing one good player for $10 million is better than signing multiple bums for that same amount. Quantity is not always better than quality! Meet the new GM of the White Sox, same as the previous GM, and the previous GM before him. Edited December 30, 20232 yr by WhiteSox2023
December 30, 20232 yr What 2 players are getting launched for this guy and Maldonado? I’ll guess Sammy Peralta and Carlos Perez. Edited December 30, 20232 yr by Bob Sacamano
December 30, 20232 yr Chris Getz, Sox offices are closed! Didn’t you get the memo? Please stop working and report back to your family! That’s enough awful acquisitions for one week!
