OT: Other Sports 80

[Mrfenn92]

Based on?

Beginning of the off season the reports were the cubs would get one of the top shortstops.

 

[No Fun Shogun]

I can only hope that the Cubs spend big when they're ready to compete again, but at least this year I was very open on my expectation that the Cubs only wanted to give the illusion of being willing to spend now.

Spending on Suzuki and stroman last year

 

[Mrfenn92]

Noah Syndergard to the dodgers. One year deal

 

[Mrfenn92]

Cubs sign relief pitcher Brad boxberger
One year $2.8

 

[Mrfenn92]

Orioles sign 2b Adam Frazier to a one year $8 million dollar deal. Lefty hitting second basemen guess it was to much for the thrifty Sox

 

[Mrfenn92]

Carlos Rodon to the Yankees. 6 years $162 million

 

[Mrfenn92]

Mets sign catcher Omar Narvaez to a one year deal $8 million

 

[Mrfenn92]

White Sox sign of Andrew benintendi to a 5 year deal $75 million

 

[Mrfenn92]

Twins sign Joey gallo to a one year $11 million

 

[SimpleJack]

White Sox sign of Andrew benintendi to a 5 year deal $75 million

I actually really like this move, despite the overall poor job the front office has done. Hope it works out. I liked the Pollock acquisition at the time too, but he just didn’t perform as expected.

Can’t complain about this at all

So does this mean Eloy is DH going forward? Benintendi is LF and Eloy cant stay healthy so moving him out of field is best way to reduce risk. Or do you think Eloy is on trade block?

Still need RF solution

Fine with signing as I liked Benintendi thru years

White Sox sign catcher Sebastian rivero to a minor league deal

White Sox sign of Andrew benintendi to a 5 year deal $75 million

How embarrassing is it that this is the largest free agent contract in white sox history lol

Kenny always gets his guy, no matter how many years later

This is actually Rick’s guy. He wanted him in the mlb draft but they overruled him to take Carson Fulmer.
As a Sox fan mostly everything about this franchise is embarrassing.

Benintendi went a pick before Fulmer. And Kenny/Rick both wanted Benintendi in the Sale deal originally but Boston did not want to give him up. Well... they did get him eventually.

You are correct sir. I’m ashamed of myself and must commit seppuku.

Cubs sign dansby Swanson
7 years $177 million

Cubs sign dansby Swanson

Feels like they're gonna give too much money to a pretty good player.

Nowhere near as bad as I thought it was gonna be.

 

[Sarava]

I think both the Cubs and Sox took steps forward since yesterday. But both moves probably leave you wanting a bit more, considering what other big market clubs have been doing.
