Besides just get paid to hang out. Can I be a senior advisor, as a White Sox fan?In all seriousness, I know that the Assistant GM who runs the R&D department used to work for the Rays front office. I think they are basing themselves off the Rays. It's much better then it used to be.

To me it's more marketing than anything legit.

35 minutes ago35 min The Rays offense hasnt done s%*# in this ALCS, if it wasnt for a Ramirez error they get shut out tonight. They have only scored in 3 innings so far.I dont think the approach to hitting we have is wrong or bad by any means. We did better against this pitching staff. The 21k game is an exception obviously, but we never have to see that if we had any kind of pitching.

And I am sure I misspelled his name but I don't care.Considering what they gave up for him....that made it even worse.

Perhaps teams may not be spending like they have in the past. Hopefully, that brings some players into the market the Sox always shop at.Just wondering. Not being snarky.What's the fallback plan if (when) the owners position on a salary cap/floor is rejected by the union and after a period of time the owners fracture and their position collapses.Just asking for a friend! 🙂What are the Sox prepared to do payroll-wise?
