Hearing #RedSox viewed #WhiteSox as main competition on Adrian Gonzalez.

Before Dunn I assume. Kenny certainly isn't f***in around this offseason though.

That's what I like about KW. f*** rebuilding... He wants to win and win NOW.

Not sure if posted yet, but mlb.com is doing a special......

The Pader GMs press confernce was on MLBN and he bascuslly said it by not saying the whitesox were interested. He said he needed to move fast cause Boston and anoter team were liking at possible free agent solutions at the postion. Also said Boston package was deeper then others even though the other offer included major league talent or major league ready talent but lacked depth. kW is all in folks.

The real reason Hoyer traded AGon to the Red Sox is that Hoyer is obsessed with Casey Kelly and was blinded by hubris.

Loney has racked up a lot of RBi's because of the guys he hits around, but look at his OPS the last 3 years: .772, .756, .723. He just isn't showing the kind of offensive production he was supposed to. He'll be 27 this year. He's the kind of guy I'd go after if I were a team that was on the outs like the Cubs or Astros; he's a guy who won't be terrible for me, has a slim chance of suddenly turning it around, and he won't be too expensive. But if I wanted to compete next year, I'd rather go with Viciedo.

would have been nice to have both AGon and Dunn in a whitesox uniform but oh well if we get Konerko i'll try to pretend that was never a possibility

jonmorosi #Reinsdorf addresses Konerko, the team's payroll, and who might close: http://bit.ly/eVuqN3 #Chicago #WhiteSox #MLB

good read, summary.

 

JR: payroll should be around 110 million

 

JM: arizona has had advanced talks with Landis and PK and being in AZ all year may play a role.

Come on PK! Go ahead and sign on the dotted line so KW can start addressing the other issues on this team!

If this really is the case then D.Lee should with out a doubt be option A but that apparently isn't happening. If we bring PK back we're about to have to get real freakin creative.

I thought the deal fell apart? Sorry I just saw it went through this morning.

It did and then got put back together in a few hr span. Odd couple of hours to say the least.

Lorenzo Cain being dangled?

In that same article, he says it will be the teams highest ever...we had a $121 million payroll in 2008 according to Cot's

How much of that figures includes considerations from other clubs? I know we were getting cash for Thome and Vazquez.

Makes you think the Sox have to consider moving Quentin or a pitcher to get some other younger players on board. One nice thing is that the Sox should shed pitching payroll with Buehrle/Peavy coming off the books relatively soon so that should enable you to at some point offer Danks a hefty extension (if the Sox feel that is in there best interest).

 

I'm becoming more and more open to a trade of one of our starters, as long as the club is able to get two top 100 MLB ready pitching prospects with upside in return (which I'm not sure is a realistic expectation).

If you factor in Sox payroll though, it was much less than that, IIRC.

I agree. Don't get me wrong, I want Konerko back. But the bullpen needs a lot of work. I'm not nuts about Chris Sale being the closer, and I really don't like the idea of Matt Thornton of being the closer.

I'm open to moving a starter as long as we get a pitcher who can step right in and take a rotation spot. KW said that Sale is going to be in the pen and if we're planning on contending this season(which we obviously are) than that's the right spot for him.

Lorenzo Cain being dangled?

 

MLBtraderumors says the Brewers are looking for a starting pitcher. If we can give them Floyd, that really improves their pitching a TON with Floyd and Marcum. And Cain looks pretty good, even if he is going to be 25 before the season starts and has yet to really see much time in the majors.

How much of that figures includes considerations from other clubs? I know we were getting cash for Thome and Vazquez.

Including the money from LAA for Cabrera, the confusing money from the Phils for Thome and cash from the Reds for Griffey: the team's final payroll was around $110M in 2008.

Wonder what our package consisted of, most certainly Dayan, not sure where we would have went from there.

I'm not going to pull punches here, I dont believe him at all.

If Sox were able to get Adrian, do you still think we would have an offer for Paulie?
