Definitely would seem that Ramirez is going nowhere if this does go down...

At least this year I would say.

6 yrs./$68M I sure hope he's real good !

I'll change my initial odds to 85% Sox, 10% Rangers, 5% field. I still think they'll get him. I've thought that for a while. Reminds me of the Rios deal in that it just makes way too much sense not to happen.

I don't see how with this much information out, and Rosenthal even mentioning it on TV, they can wait 'till after the WS to make an announcement on this.

No but maybe Beckham?

He probably knows about it, but the info leak seems coincidental.

He should just go anyways. I think there are some around the league that still hold him in high regard. The Jays were one team. Give them Gillaspie and Beckham and get Lawrie.

Oh God. No s***? You really don't think Ken Rosenthal was on Sox talk just waiting for a random poster to spew bulls***.

 

Phew. Glad you confirmed that!

Cubs fans be like: Well yeah but we have Javier Baez and he's gonna break the single season home run record next year!

Confirmed by second source!

These jokes will be awesome once this is confirmed. Until then... Nervousness.

YES!!!!!

Does anyone have a quote from Ken about the signing?

White Sox will still look to add catching depth and could make moves via trade. But this will be cornerstone of rebuild/reshape

Thank you.

I'm told all hands on deck right now including financial folks. That's usually good.

Can this guy take a walk??? Seriously. I am tired of the Sox getting guys who swing at everything. No more Ramirez guys who hit .270-.290 and have an OBP of .310-.320. The Sox aren't going to win anything until their hitters can get on base. If this guy can't take a walk, I don't think he will be worth $70MM unless he hits as well as Miguel Cabrera.
