You can cut the BS about the wife of Zach
Wheeler wanting to stay in the east.
Zach had a chance to play for manager Joe
Girardi of the Phils. More money from the
White Sox to play for Renteria was a joke..
Bottom Line: Managers do make a difference
in where a player wants to go.

If you think its bs about the wife you are probably single or divorced.
That is encouraging. The Phillies gave him 5 years. That would go against what Sox have done in the past. I just hope they get a starter somehow. I never want to see Banuelos again.
Take that with a grain of salt. It seems like something the Sox would leak after losing out on a guy.
And, for the record I think the Sox dodged a blown elbow or shoulder here. Wheeler has missed a lot of time due to injuries. Major injuries. Let the Phillies roll the dice on him.
It seemed like there were plenty of reasons to really like Wheeler, especially with some of the advanced pitching metrics. The injuries were certainly a concern, but I would have risked it.
The Sox need starting pitching help if they actually want to compete this year. They don't have a shot at Cole or Stras, so Wheeler felt like the best of the rest.
I'd be happy with Bumgarner, despite the milage on his arm. At least he's been a post season winner. Of course I'm not sure I've actually seen much to say the Sox are interested.
That’s a great point about working with Grandal again. I’m really lukewarm on this signing. They still need to add another starter.
Great signing if it was in the context of him being the second addition to one of the big names...
The Cubs are the darlings of Chicago and
the White Sox have played second fiddle.
This Winter you get the feeling that the
White Sox are making a serious financial
commitment to improve their team.
For example signing Grandal as catcher will
be a big boost to the team. 4 years at $73
million is a commitment not to be taken lightly.

That is a great contract for the Sox. I guess Kuechel also didn’t want to dangle without a contract for half a season again.
This has been a very good offseason for the WS.

Fvck yes. It may not work, but they're spending the money trying.
I like the Keuchel signing even more after the Blue Jays just gave Ryu 4 years, $80 million.
Cubs make any moves this winter as far as adding pieces? Signing Morrow to a minor league deal doesn't count.
I'm guessing CWS mgmt sees Cleveland as throwing in the towel and that the Twins are the only obstacle. And given how pretty much everything went right for Minnesota last season, it's a good bet that not everyone for the Twins has another "career " year.
Mixed feelings on this one. EE is bound to have a big drop off here soon and he was awful in the playoffs. But it's only money and not a whole lot of other great DH options out there.
