If the Sox don’t land one of them then Jerry Reinsdorf is to blame, they don’t intend to win, and I will continue to wish a very painful death to Jerry as soon as humanly possible. I hope he suffers greatly before he goes.

Strasburg would be the choice but I would prefer Rendon

Lol. Why not just get Trout while you're at it.

Cole is going to the Angels and Strasburg is staying in DC.

FF dreaming.

I get the lol comment cuz it’s the Sox but it’s literally just asking the team based in Chicago, with the lowest payroll in baseball, who is publicly saying they intend to contend in 2020, to back that up with signing one of the top FAs on the market.

It’s not asking to trade for Trout and it’s not an unreasonable demand.

I can only think of one. Jerry is a cheap motherfucker who needs to die.

If they truly intend on contending they have to sign one of these guys. No more time to waste.

You keep saying this every time I say this. I'm good with the Jews I just wish painful suffering on Jerry himself. That's fair

It's not a controversial stance. But Jerry will have his usual defenders like Frank, Rick, and Peeps out in full force any time someone suggests it

Oh I'm not defending it.

But it's a pipe dream.

Reinsdorf doesn't pay for pitching. He doesn't pay more than 5 years for pitching. And he doesn't deal with Boras.

That takes Cole and Strasburg out of the picture.

Plus Strasburg is 31 and will get about $200M

We know that Jerry. That’s the price of poker when you want to contend.

Neither. Too much money.

I would prefer to spend that money on a bat over a pitcher every day of the week UNLESS we're talking about generational talent. Strasburg isn't generational talent.

What bat do you want to spend that money on? Our lineup is fine. We need pitching.

Those guys aren't the pitchers to spend the money on. You're guaranteed to regret it later. Especially considering the Sox are a couple of years away from competing.

I like Rendon and someone like J.D. Martinez

Rendon doesn’t make any sense in this lineup and JD qualifies as a guaranteed ducking failure as a Kenny signing.

If they don’t sign one of these two pitchers they are once again lying to their fan base and stealing money.

Someone like Kluber, Keuchel, Wheeler or Odorizzi makes the most sense. It's possible that you could even get 2 of them.

No. Gerrit Cole makes the most sense if you want to compete and if they don’t sign him it’s clear indication they don’t want to compete. The guys you mentioned would be typically Sox failure signings like Adam dunn

Will the Sox have people watching video the way the Astros do?
