Good Guys Talk Back

The Sox have failed to make a big splash and pay premium money for premium talent (so far) but did decide to bring Leury Garcia back for three more years. Hahn had a press conference to talk about it or did he just want to address the dissatisfaction of the fan base in a passive sort of way? How does it feel as a Sox fan to see so many other MLB teams spending wildly? The the MLB lockout is seemin...

It seems as if the White Sox have started to spend some money as time quickly runs out on the current CBA. The Sox have been linked to RHP Kendall Graveman. This would be a nice bullpen move to hopefully jump start the spending. What does this mean for Tepera or Kimbrel? Will the next starting 2B come via trade or will the Sox actually spend premium money? Also, could Minoso finally be head to the...
