    The SOX bidding on Soto was a major sham. They knew 700 mil wouldn't be enough. Anyone here expecting Teo, Bregman, or Arenado to be a member of the SOX will be seriously disappointed. Btw, I'm also pretty positive that the FO knew that what they offered Fried wasn't gonna be enough. Sham(e) on them.
  2. SPLENDIDSPLINTER
    I recently heard that the SOX offered Pivetta 19 mil to be the #5 starter.

    JH is employing the art of NO-MONEY BALL
  4. SPLENDIDSPLINTER
    Here's a new slant that won't happen, but I think it would be a wonderful trade. Send Devers to Toronto for Vlad and then buy Bregman. I think the SOX would agree to that trade, but I doubt Toronto would.

    JH sent Breslow shopping, but only gave him enough money for food and an Uber ride. Thank goodness Crochet wasn't a FA, because the SOX wouldn't have gotten him either.
  6. SPLENDIDSPLINTER
    It appears now that Breslow is kicking the tires on Randall Grichuk of Arizona. Breslow's kicking while other teams are picking.
  7. SPLENDIDSPLINTER
    One of the GM's at the winter meetings told a reporter that Breslow was the most 'interested' GM at the meeting.
  8. SPLENDIDSPLINTER
    Actually 3.5 times as much.
  9. SPLENDIDSPLINTER
    Until the SOX have new ownership.
  10. SPLENDIDSPLINTER
    The SOX continue to operate as a mid-market team with high-market ticket prices. Good news: Sandoval is a LH. Bad news: Coming off TJS, who knows how effective he'll be and we won't find out no earlier than July, 2025. It would have been funny if Soto had accepted the SOX 700 mil offer. JH would have had a heart attack while shouting out "I was only kidding."

    Jared Jones. 23 yr old flame thrower starter who the Pirates are willing to trade for the right offensive parts. I'm guessing from what Pittsburgh is saying that Abreu and Mayer would get that trade done. He averages about 11 K's per nine innings.
  12. SPLENDIDSPLINTER
    If by any miracle the SOX could land Jones, Teoscar and Scott, I'd be shocked, but at the same time very happy.
  13. SPLENDIDSPLINTER
    If you really believe JH would spend 185 mil for Bregman, I'd rather have Teoscar.
  14. SPLENDIDSPLINTER
    Igf If the SOX were serious about signing Burnes, the deal would have already been made. I could see the FO trying to make a trade for Jones of the Pirates. He's young and appears to have a high ceiling. However, the trade would probably have to include Mayer. Moon, would you trade Abreu and Mayer for Jones?
  15. SPLENDIDSPLINTER
    Imho, Bregman is looking for 6 years and 185 mil. He may get that, but not from JH.
  16. SPLENDIDSPLINTER
    What a scam that was perpetrated on SOX fans. JH and the FO never had any intention of signing Soto. They waved 700 mil out there knowing they would be outbid by both the Yankems and Mets. If anyone here believes JH is going to spend any serious money on any FA still standing who could improve the team is delusional. This team needs a new owner. And if I'm proved wrong about the above, I'll be glad to eat crow.
  17. SPLENDIDSPLINTER
    I believe the last player they'd won was David Price and look how wonderful that turned out.
  18. SPLENDIDSPLINTER
    ...
  19. SPLENDIDSPLINTER
    If the SOX decide to leave Devers at third, it's probably just as well they didn't sign Fried. He being a ground ball pitcher.
  20. SPLENDIDSPLINTER
    They'll probably end the off season with Eovaldi and call it a success. Hell, just let the top 4 prospects start the season. It'll at least raise NESN's poor ratings.
  21. SPLENDIDSPLINTER
    SOX are prioritizing on Bergman when they need a top shelf starter. It's down to Burnes and Crochet and I believe the SOX get neither.
  22. SPLENDIDSPLINTER
    They're full-throttled interested.
  23. SPLENDIDSPLINTER
    How does this guy Andrews have any credibility when he didn't even know the greatest SOX player wasn't a right fielder? What's gonna happen in the off season will happen and all the predictions are a waste of time reading or watching.
  24. SPLENDIDSPLINTER
    "The next Ted Williams?" What's this guy smoking? BTW, Teddy Ballgame didn't play RF.
  25. SPLENDIDSPLINTER
    If Manaea was replaced with one of the top three pitchers I've already mentioned, it would be a damned good one. BTW, I just recently heard that BURNES wants to pitch closer to his hometown, which means he could be heading to the Giants. I believe trading for Crochet is the SOX best chance of the 3.
