In related news, Balta's offseason from hell continues.

Nothing makes me happier!

I think the show Bruce Levine hosts comes on at 9

No, that's Saturdays at 8-10.

 

He was on.

Thanks for pointing this out. I really hate Bruce as a "journalist", but he should be a good listen today after breaking the deal.

Not to be a party pooper, but are other beat guys reporting it yet? I need to get on the twittah.

 

Levine should be axed if it's false.

Jesse Sanchez confirmed it as well.

 

And Melky retweeted a Adam Eaton tweet welcoming him to the south side.

flagship station should send this fantasy football show to the sidelines based on this news.

 

we are allergic to building interest in this team it seems

 

please though, more SUVs on the warning track and t-shirt cannons.

The score is so weird on the weekends, no idea why they stream syndicated crap instead of the local shows

ESPN has it on their front page. This means it is unassailable truth

Not really. Stuff we know.

 

One thing I agree with him though...Danks and Noesi at 4-5 are good enough. They make their starts and put up innings. Until they give the Sox a reason to make a move, they don't need to make a move with starting pitching.

What an offseason - here is a recap of improvements;

 

LaRoche instead of Dunn

Melky Cabrera instead of Viciedo

Avi Garcia instead of De Aza or Moises Sierra

Samardzija instead of Scott Carroll

David Robertson instead of Belisario

Zach Duke instead of Scott Downs

Carlos Sanchez instead of Gordon Beckham

Hector Noesi instead of Eric Johnson

 

Now, if there was a way to sign Bonifacio (who kills lefties) as well as trade for Daniel Nava from the Red Sox, we would be one of the favorites to win the American League (if we are not already!).

KW has a soft spot for Levine. Don't ask me why.

 

He protects him as a source. Remember, Levine sat on the KW/ TOR CEO story, even when he had Kenny in studio interviewing him.

QUOTE (flavum @ Dec 14, 2014 -> 08:17 AM)
Surkamp should hold out for a car to give up #53.

 

Why? There is a pretty good chance he isn't on the roster anyway

It was a joke. Ugh.

 

Have a laugh once in a while.

QUOTE (Chicago White Sox @ Dec 14, 2014 -> 02:33 PM)
Unless you have issues with the past PED use, I'm not sure how anyone wouldn't like this deal. We filled our biggest hole with a guy that has been a 2.6+ WAR player in each of the past four years when he didn't have a tumor on his spine. The deal is relatively short-term and covers his age 30 to 32 seasons, so the overall risk is limited. His skill-set is perfect fit for the two hope and he adds more balance to the lineup being a switch-hitter.

 

Outside of his defense, which is still an upgrade over Viciedo, I'm not sure what there is not to like here.

 

what will happen after the 2015 season can be address at a later date. what i am

extremely happy going into '15 season, the sox did as much and more than anyone

can ask. this team looks sweet on paper, with the rotation pretty much set, it is

going to be a GREAT season.

 

that is the first big step, the rest will fall in place.

Don't forget that we will have Jennings and hopefully a fully healed Nate Jones who was gone most of last year. Maybe we'll have even more action to come.

that is one thing i really admire about the sox, JR/KW show loyalty till the end.

 

in todays world, that is a great trait.

Jones will be a while. Another reliever, and work on the bench. Who knows, maybe Hahn will get Castro to catch. BTW, Leuri is hitting .338 in the Dominican League.

Just got a Tribune e-mail alert on this, awesome news, and even better got him on a 3 year deal!

melky cabrera agrees to three-year deal with white sox for $42M. @MLBBruceLevine 1st w/chisox

 

 

42MIL.

Love it, this is my favorite move of the offseason. This team didn't have a #2 hitter and now it got the best one available. And I would have been fine with Melky at 4/$60, having to go three years is an early Hannukah miracle.

Corresponding roster move.

 

Has to be Danks, right? No other roster move frees up as much as Melky will be getting.

 

Also wondering if there is another SP target out there if Danks is being moved.

42 mil instead of 45, this is getting better all the time.
