OT: Other Sports 74

[Kaners Bald Spot]

Reinsdorf spends $ when team has chance to compete

Also it was just two years ago Sox went after Machado with 200M+ deal so lets not act like Jerry is Bill Wirtz

Jerry with the Sox is totally Bill Wirtz.

Jerry only offers 9 figures if he's certain it won't be accepted.
They did not make a serious offer to Machado. If the number didn't start with a 3 and the offer wasn't 9 figures, it wasn't serious.

Wheeler wasn't interested in Chicago.

There was no chance either offer was accepted.

He only does these things so he has people like you saying "well, at least he's not Bill Wirtz"

Not even close.

 

[Kaners Bald Spot]

Not even close.

Was Bill worse? No doubt. But there are a metric ton of similarities. Remember Bill spent at times. The Hawks made the playoffs for 24 straight years or something ridiculous like that until 97 or so.

There really aren't that many similarities. Bill is easily one of the worst sports owners in professional sports history. Reinsdorf... is not even close to that.

7 championships

They offered him $50,000,000 less than what he signed for lol.

Not to mention it was heavily backloaded.

Was it? I didn’t know that part. What a shit offer.

Jerry inherited Michael Jordan and they had one year when the hit the lotto on the South Side. He's been a shit owner. He just had better luck.

 

[clydesdale line]

Lol Reinsdorf.

Catching up on the thread...

Steve Stone slander? Really?

Machado wasn't signing for $250 mil. Who are we crappin' here?

 

[Sarava]

LOL he is on block

Multiple sources claim it and that is such a over the top statement from Middleton

Wheeler could be good pickup for White Sox

Kopech+ to Phills

That would sting giving up Kopech, when a year ago they nearly signed him for no asset compensation.

But the Sox do need a TOR pitcher one way or another.

 

[Illinihockey]

I don’t think Kopech has the value at this point you guys think. He could come back and rebuild that value but right now he’s not headlining a major trade

And that's ok, because I'd rather they not trade him.

So umm, any truth to this Darvish and Heyward to the Sox thing? Probably not...

Can’t see the Sox adding both of their contracts

 

[Mrfenn92]

Lance Lynn to the white sox
Dane Dunning heading to Texas along with prospect pitcher Avery weems

 

[Fingers and Toews]

 

[Blackhawkswincup]

I like Lance Lynn

I am not thrilled giving up Dunning in deal though as I really liked what he showed last year

I worry about Lynn's age but he seems like guy who should still be effective into his late 30's with way he pitches

Its nice to see Sox making move to break the silence

As for rotation I would bring back Q for #4 spot and let Cease/Kopech/etc battle it out for #5

[IU Hawks fan]

Pretty happy with this.

 

[ChiHawks10]

Jerry is Dollar Bill!

 

[Blackhawkswincup]

I dont like that he is under contract for only one more year though but it provides Sox with out if he ends up struggling or is injured

And if he does well its likely they can come to terms on an extension if need be

Dollar Jerry added over 9.3M to payroll with this acquisition

 

[clydesdale line]

I like Kasper.. he's alright in my book.
