Relievers are an incredibly fickle bunch. Santos is probably at peak value and could be mediocre or bad next year. Also, having a good relief pitcher on this team is like owning a Ferrari and living on a dirt road.

They got two guys for Santos who could be contributors in 2025, when they actually have a chance at competing, plus a high draft pick. If they keep Cease, they will also have him in 2025.

We've seen what a full rebuild looks like, it's three years of losing and no guarantee of success. As far as I'm concerned, they can middle it.

Santos is 23 and with his profile it should be nothing but upside barring injury. It isn't like Seattle got hosed.

It's a lot easier to develop a decent reliever than it is to develop a decent starter. I'm okay trading relievers at this point, I'm not okay trading starters.

Sox players traded away have to be ecstatic to get away from Jerry's trainwreck.

It's more fun to be a victim

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

Just sign Bauer, even a lowball offer. "You want to pitch in the bigs again? Here is our offer. If this is not suitable for you, we wish you continued success in Japan."

Then go all in with the Mike Veeck type promotions. If you aren't going to be serious and make even a feeble attempt at winning, might as well have some fun losing 90-95+ games

The Witt contract seems like a big overpay. His career OBP is .307. Nice player overall, but $288m? He doesn't seem like the kind of player who's going to become a monster.

Yes, it's more than three times as much as the biggest Sox contract ever...but also $100m more than the Cubs all-time biggest contract.

It's certainly a gamble. But small market teams (and the White Sox) have to do stuff like this to keep guys past 27 years old.
He's definitely better than anyone the White Sox have on their roster currently.

Healthy LouBob is very good.

They should be grateful the As exist.

When the A's move to Las Vegas then the Sox will be the only team to not sign a 100MIL contract.

Right. A healthy luis Robert. Like a healthy eloy jimenez. Or a healthy yoan moncada. We all know better.
Witt has played 2 years. Showed significant improvement from year to year and from the first to the second half of this past season. And at only 23 years old, he can end up being a thorn in the side of the white Sox for the next decade.

I usually get excited every year the baseball season starts up. But this team is really tough to get behind.

For the right player he would. Different sport, but he was willing to pay Kobe and give the Lakers whatever they wanted. He got directly involved in negotiations. I have no problem with his reluctance to overpay good to mediocre players. Particularly pitchers.

Machado was that guy and Harper immediately after. The butterfly effect on that move is astounding.

I don't think it makes a difference because the entire team fell off a clif. I didn't want Harper.

I think Harper was the right fit, the lefthanded bat that they really needed. But who knows how that would have played out.

I believed the Nationals immediately winning the World Series, with the same roster, was proof he wasn't worth it. Him pissing his pants in Dusty's World Series kinda validates that for me. His injuries will pile up the rest of the way.
