I don't get that. This is the year they definitely have payroll flexibility. Give him 15 and a mutual option for 10 with a $3M buyout.

It's more fun to be a victim

There will never be an effective vaccine. I'll never get one anyway.

He wouldn't do that because he's got 17.8 in his pocket right now. Why would he take 25 over 2 years?

Jose Abreu, given his life experience, is not worried about a few million bucks here or there. He wants to stay with the Sox and be paid according to his performance. He's not going to take an extra year at $8MM because he's afraid of the downside. Only a chump bets against himself.

Because if Vaughn is ready by next August, who is going to give Abreu $8M at that point to DH?

There are 2 positions for the 2 of them to play. What does Vaughn have to do with Jose?

Eloy is a natural-born DH. And then there's Collins if his hitting works out.

natural-born DH is a polite way of saying "Kyle Schwarber"

Burger hurt again.

There is not a damned thing wrong with people who are bull shitters.

What a waste. This kid has had no luck at all.

The Chicago White Sox have purchased the contracts of the following seven players:

-Right-handed pitchers Zack Burdi, Dane Dunning, Matt Foster and Jimmy Lambert;
-Left-handed pitcher Bernardo Flores Jr.;
-Catcher Yermín Mercedes;
-Outfielder Blake Rutherford

Five of the seven players are ranked in the White Sox Top 30 prospects according to MLB.com: Dunning (No. 5), Rutherford (No. 9), Lambert (No. 18), Burdi (No. 23) and Flores Jr. (No. 28).

Following the moves, the White Sox 40-man roster increases to 40.

CHICAGO -- Omar Vizquel will not be returning as a manager in the White Sox Minor League system for the 2020 season.

"We felt that it was best for both sides to make a change," White Sox director of player development Chris Getz told MLB.com Wednesday, calling the parting an amicable one.

"Listen, Omar, ultra-talented player, very good instructor, created a good environment for our players," Getz continued. "We just felt with where things are at, our player development system, that it was time to go separate ways. But not only for himself, but for the organization as well and we wish Omar well. He was a positive influence while he was here."

Vizquel, 52, managed Class A Winston-Salem during the 2018 season and moved up to manage Double-A Birmingham in '19 covering his White Sox tenure. He guided the Dash to an 84-54 record and a first-half division title in '18 while earning Carolina League Manager of the Year honors in his managerial debut.

The Barons finished with a 64-72 mark in '19. Vizquel worked with top prospects such as Luis Robert, Nick Madrigal, Luis Alexander Basabe, Gavin Sheets, Blake Rutherford, Jimmy Lambert, Zack Burdi and Bernardo Flores with Birmingham. Vizquel played for the White Sox from 2010-11 as part of his stellar 24-year-career currently placing him on the Baseball Writers’ Association of America Hall of Fame ballot.

So fucking stupid to not have Vizquel as a bench coach with the big club.

Let him learn a year and get used to the guy and then he takes over.

Of course the Sox fuck it up.

And Vizquel is the anointed one why? No one has explained to me why this guy is The One? I just assumed if he was all that, teams would be banging down his door.

What happened the last time the Sox had a Latin former SS as manager??

Wouldn't be surprised if Mark Grudzielanek or Espada is the next manger.
