We really mad at Jerry for spending 160 million on 3 players? Nvm. Tell me after the parades
In hindsight it was a really great value which it should have given the White Sox extra room in the budget to go after top tier free agents (Yeah I know), But ended up completely backfiring at the end.
I can’t believe Moncada, Jimenez and Robert were all once considered “Top 10 MLB prospects overall, Some of them even Top 5” and we struck out on all 3 of them.
Here’s hoping Robert gets traded (Despite his value being low) in the offseason and we start next season with neither of them, All fucking disappointments.
Man, I didn’t realize so many of you all don’t like our only good field position player. Luis Robert had a down year but he still has so much potential. He literally has no one protecting him in the lineup so what do you expect?
If the Sox let go of Crotchet and Robert, I’ll be done being a fan. Downvote me all you want but it will just show every player in the league that the white Sox aren’t serious about retaining any kind of young talent. They let Cease go and that was another one of my favorite current era players.
Just checking, but is this the same sub that keeps crying for the club to spend money?
This feels extremely harsh on Robert. He’s our best player by far and has shown flashes of untapped potential. Injuries have plagued him for sure, but I’m not ready to give up on him yet.
Question.. how much do you think 32 WAR is worth? I want you to put a number value to it.
like yeah they clearly didn’t live up to the mammoth expectations this ridiculous fan base had for them, but it’s not like they made out like bandits with gargantuan contracts. that’s less than 10m a year
Hahn told us “the money will be spent” he just never said it would be wisely
Yeah, but imagine the savings if they were worth it!
This is idiocy. We wanted jerry to commit to young talent and in 2019/2020/2021 we had no reason to believe that calamity after calamity was in store. Shit went wrong in a major way, but the early contract extensions are not why.
So wait we are now criticizing the owner for doing the right thing spending money and locking up what was supposed to be all star talent? Cant have it both ways. This falls clearly on these players who sucked.
They aren’t gonna get all of that because the options won’t be picked up. You should be mad at Rick and Kenny justifying not signing Harper and Machado because they needed to pay all their young “talent”.
These were very good, prudent moves at the time. The fault with Jerry was after these extensions, the extra money should’ve been spent on All-Stars to round out the lineup. He cheaped out on the rebuild in typical Jerry fashion.
