We’re entering the seventh year since the White Sox failed to sign either Manny Machado or Bryce Harper. The two executives responsible for leading the pursuit have been fired, and the chairman who hamstrung their efforts has created a plan to transition the controlling interest to an entirely unrelated person. While Harper and Machado remain productive big leaguers for competitive MLB enterprises, there isn’t anything to say about them that hasn’t been said before.
However, we’ve spent comparatively little to no time discussing the White Sox’s utter indifference to George Springer, and after watching him hit the go-ahead three-run homer in Game 7 of the ALCS to propel the Blue Jays to the World Series on Tuesday, you could argue that the insufficient interest there was more damning of their thought process and priorities.
