2024-25 MLB Hot Stove

[Lennys Tap]

Some thought my predictions of the White Sox being even worse next year were hyperbole, but the Sox #1 priority of the off season was to sign 32 year old Austin Slater ( .209/2 HR/ 18 RBI)
"The White Sox were the first team to reach out. They told me I was their top target," said Austin Slater.

I still think it's hyperbole. Are you by any chance a man who likes to gamble?

Well I am not a gambler, but I can see the logic of having me put my money where my mouth is.

I don't think it is guaranteed, but I think 110 loses is and I see a decent possibility that the will surpass 121. But hey, maybe they "catch lightning in a bottle" and only lose 105.
(crazy, every other team views 105 loses as "the wheels coming off")

I want them to lock up Skubal.  And you aren't necessarily wrong.  What I see as more of a determinant is that disaster that is the Baez contract.

The only optimism I have regarding signing Skubs is he's a homegrown guy they developed; they're not bringing in a guy from the outside like Baez.

Could be interesting..., or a complete cluster****?

Agreed. Not even a little bit interested in that.
