pcq Posted November 4 Share Posted November 4 (edited) Could not let Luis go. They have nothing el$e going on. He fits right in as a lethargic muted loser who leads by example from underneath the back row. Edited November 4 by pcq Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The only issue is IF this blocks signing any top FAs on their radar (I KNOW. I KNOW). Doesn’t fit the party line. 4 hours ago, caulfield12 said: That was Vaughn's problem? Burger/Madrigal? Keuchel? Benintendi? Lynn Kelly Graveman? Why is it that Liam Hendriks was practically the only player universally praised upon leaving? Sosa Leury Moncada Jimenez Anderson Robert Grandal the most thoroughly maligned. Hmmm... Keuchel just sold his local residence per the Real Estate news. No hope of re-signing I guess 😀 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ducksnort Posted November 5 Share Posted November 5 It's not an issue with the current state of the org so it's whatever, but damn I wish health wasn't a problem for Luis. I love watching him cover centerfield. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ofc his mom or family already bad mouthed the Sox on social media. There’s always Clevinger, lol. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That would pretty much make a long work stoppage unavoidable with the interests of 12 bigger market owners clearly pitted against the remaining 18. (The one and only time I have agreed with WestEddy, paying Kyle Tucker $400-425 million is insane, especially when you have minor league outfield prospects galore.)

caulfield12 Posted November 5 Share Posted November 5 7 minutes ago, southsider2k5 said: Read another way. We're cash poor right now...and are still using the Covid year losses to operate like the Bill Veeck White Sox. The $50-55 million lost in broadcasting revenues are just killing the Sox, (Twins and Guardians too) right now. Along with interest payments on accrued debt. The only question is how long to off load Robert and how much will they eat in money or prospects to dump Benintendi. At least M.Perez is saving them $10 million...

greg775 Posted November 5 Share Posted November 5 (edited) The team had to do this. Again ... tanking is one thing but not picking up Robert's option would have been yet another slap in the face to Sox fans who have spent a ton of money during the tank job for bad baseball (but delicious corned beef, roast beef sandwiches; pizza; shakes), overpriced beer and pop. Robert is one guy who could play for just about any team, along with our new SS phenom. Edited November 5 by greg775 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PaleAleSox Posted November 5 Share Posted November 5 MLB can’t really afford a lockout. They have won a ton of fans back these last few years and their tv deal is the following year. Not playing the year before that would crush them. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
