He’s trying to sign long term players, and wants to be capable of doing that if they’re available. Unfortunately, FA last year wasn’t great and mediocre players always want the bank. I respect his patience to not sign “meh” players to big deals, but as a fan it’s hard to sit and see all that space and not see a lot of splashes as a result. I just hope he’s not being too stingy or picky. If guys feel he is, it could hurt players from wanting to stay and come to Chicago. Based on his signings in fa last year, I think he’s on the right track, but we’ve waited a long time for a winning product, and waiting longer is not something anyone wants to do.
