They get a supplemental pick, not a first.

Still good though

White Sox are going for it!

It's still in the first round though....it's a first round supplemental pick.


It's what they need to do. Built up the farm. It hurt not picking til the late 2nd round last year

No, the White Sox will lose a 2nd round pick (as I believe their first is protected) and the Yankees will get a pick in between the 1st and 2nd rounds.

The White Sox have been making the biggest splash of the offseason so far. They are really looking to contend next year.

Wow that's a lot of money. The pen sure was awful last year and if your going for it you had to add a closer. Would have preferred to add a left fielder first but the off season isn't over yet. Not sure what to think of this expensive addition lol not my money?

I'll miss Robertson from the Yankees but I also won't miss him, when you watch the games... 80% of the time you will get really nervous. He will load the bases and then finally get the last guy out.


betances to close? Deja vu? 1996/1997?

I love Rick Hahn so freaking much. When he says he'll make the team better, he does.

I honestly think the Sox will surprise people this year. It'll be nice to have a competitive team for once. Although I do think Robertson was overpaid, he's a legit closer and the Sox didn't have that last year.

This gives Petricka the 8th inning, Putnam/Guerra the 7th inning, and Duke is your lefty specialist.

I am so excited for next year. This is the first year in a long time that the Sox might actually be good.

"Might" be good? I think they will be contenders.

I hope you guys are right. I'm just so conditioned to watching losing baseball recently that I don't even know what a winning team looks like anymore lol.

Think they need a few more pieces still, but nice for them to sign a top-15 reliever to help one of the worst pens from last year.
