SB Nation Reacts: The hows and whys of the 2023-24 offseason
Why isn’t everyone already signed — and who’s to blame?
Welcome to SB Nation Reacts, a survey of fans across MLB. Throughout the year we ask questions of the most plugged-in Chicago White Sox fans and fans across the country.
This week, we weren’t able to survey you on specific White Sox topics, but there were some interesting polling done across MLB, with the results slotted in below.
(Believe it or not, your participation in SB Nation Reacts actually does a lot to help South Side Sox. The surveys are always short, so they take just a minute of your time. And we know we have a vocal fan base. So make your voice heard, and often, this season.)
Sign up here to participate in the weekly emailed surveys.
First up, voters were asked about commissioner Rob Manfred’s desire to have all offseason signings (and, likely, trade activity) confined to just a couple of weeks every winter:
In a related question, participants were asked whether some key free agents would remain unsigned as we get deeper into Cactus and Grapefruit League action:
And then, a bit of a collusion question ... just, who exactly is colluding? Turns out it’s the Scott Boras Agency! I knew that guy was bad news, ever since he called me up in Arizona to yell at me about Joe Crede.
Again, we were unable to get a White Sox question in this time around, but Twins fans seem to feel pretty lukewarm about the activity of the 2023 ALC champs.
Stay close enough to your email to get your answers in for future surveys, which undoubtedly will include more actual White Sox content.
