    Good to hear if Brantley comes back. Let's pray about it.

    Healthy Brantley, and that lineup is going to be lethal.

    Looks like your right based on Ken Rosenthal.

    Could go up to $16 mil if he reaches his bonus.

    Re schwabs tweet that we have enough salary room to sign both Brantley and Conforto, there is no way Conforto signs here bc his path to ABs is now much worse.

    Who here would prefer Benintiendi on the white Sox contract over Brantley’s 1 year deal?

    I think nobody, right?

    the question will be what Conforto ultimately goes for.

    I'm satisfied long as he doesn't go to the Yankees. Yankees haven't done much to address their lineup issues. Let's keep it that way.

    Good deal for both sides. Now sign Kluber and Rogers and trade Urquidy+prospects for Jansen.

    50+ pages of whining for Crane to get the best 1B, best hitting LF health permitting, and /be best reliever all on non-albatross contracts. Lol

    Brantley is a great addition. We need to ensure we have veteran leadership - particularly after losing Verlander.

    Pena at 2-hole. It's been working and lineup protection for him with Yordan and Bregs.

    7 hole Brantley hitting behind Abreu would be beneficial for Abreu for the pitcher to pitch to him.
