Quote from: WhiteTrash on November 23, 2024, 10:56:36 AMSome 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")

Quote from: tower912 on November 27, 2024, 09:07:52 AMI 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.

Sure GIants can afford it. But dropping the bank on WIlly Adames in a division where you're basically hoping it lets you jump the Dbacks for..............3rd?

I'll say this about Willy, his value will go beyond the field.  Is it worth the value of this deal, probably not but he'll he missed in the Brewers dugout as much as the field.

Yeah. My favorite overall Brewer probably in my lifetime. Not the best player, but I love that dude.

Seconded.  I'm a Cubs fan but told my story about working with/interacting with him at an event a few summers ago and now he had personal touchpoints and small moments with everyone he came across.  I'd imagine he will be missed far more in the halls of AmFam Field and by support staff than actually on the diamond.

More or less off the field value than Yadi?

You could build 30.6 Draftkings Sportsbooks in Wrigleyville with that type of cash.

White Sox are winning the offseason with the addition of Mike Tauchman.

-Tauchman is a .241 hitter with 32 homers and 155 RBIs in 474 career games

If he can come close to his career numbers, he will be a major upgrade of the Sox's roster.  Maybe the new cleanup hitter.

C'mon.  The Tigers upgrading their rotation by signing Alex Cobb is clearly a bigger deal.

Maybe your right for on the field play, but I was also taking into account that Tauchman is a Chicago guy so the Sox will sellout most home games.

Has anyone seen, either officially or unofficially, what the Brewers offer to Adames was? I would assume they were at least close in AAV and just didn't want to offer the length that he got, but I haven't seen anything with #'s.

TBC, don't blame Willy for taking it, don't blame the Brewers for not matching it, just curious to see what the numbers were.
