Of course you’re right. Bummer is a useful bullpen piece and we got a handful of trash in return for him.
It’s whatever, it was time to move on anyways but we didn’t get s%*# for Bummer.
If we are grading the trade today, Bummer has also been trash.

I don't know how it relates to attendance numbers specifically, but there have certainly been periods of contraction and spending in this team's recent history. With Moncada and possibly Eloy off the books, there's literally no excuse to not sign Adames or Kim or whoever. Which is my point, if there isn't any movement next year on that front, then I'll probably be actually disillusioned.
I don't actually think attendance is that relevant, if anything the Sox might want to follow in the Royals footsteps and drum up public support for a new ballpark by producing a good team.
The Royals stadium referendum got its ass kicked.

I you are a cub fan go ahead. Nothing positive comes from losing...nothing. You break the spirit of the players and the fans and diminish the franchise in every way imaginable. That is why I don't trust or respect the opinions of those who relish in WSox losses.
Stop trying to shame people, especially after your meltdowns on the stadium situation.

Yup, both of them are super interesting. And beyond them, there is probably another half dozen or so legit SP prospects in full season ball. I spent quite a bit of time debating whether to put Keener or Bush at 10. Burke would be in the mix if I knew his shoulder was completely healthy. I know Adams has his fans (haven’t actually seen him pitch). Gordon has pitched really well against less advanced competition. And Batista is a kid who really intrigues me.
You could make an argument for like half a dozen different kids for the end of the list.

Given the shittiness of the major league squad, I’ve been looking for reasons for optimism elsewhere in the org. And nothing stands out more than the quality of our minor league pitching. There’s some real talent across all four levels with a few more legit prospects on the IL and in Complex ball.
However, it’s a very diverse group of pitching prospects in terms of age, ceiling, variance, repertoire, & proximity and I’d imagine there is likely to be quite differing opinions in how these guys are viewed. Below is my current top 10, but I’d love to see who other posters here would include in their own.
Rank | Prospect | Age | Level | ETA | FV
- Noah Schultz* | 20.7 | A+ | 2026 | 60
- Drew Thorpe | 23.5 | AA | 2024 | 55
- Nick Nastrini | 24.2 | AAA | 2024 | 50
- Jairo Iriarte | 22.3 | AA | 2024 | 50
- Jake Eder* | 25.5 | AA | 2024 | 45+
- Jonathan Cannon | 23.8 | AAA | 2025 | 45+
- Payton Pallette | 22.9 | A+ | 2025 | 45
- Tanner McDougal | 21.0 | A+ | 2026 | 45
- Grant Taylor | 21.9 | IL | 2026 | 45
- Ky Bush* | 24.4 | AA | 2024 | 45
That's a solid list. Plenty of breakout potential too. Guys like Taylor or McDougal could be top 100 guys if they get going.

Do you literally just make up your own realities?

if he can stay healthy and be and late inning force, he will have value.

I love them, but I also like the Sox City Connects.
The Sox City Connects are quite literally the biggest positive about this franchise today.

Jerry could have spent some dough and brought in two plus regulars instead of asking for a new ballpark. It's a bad look.
2 regulars wouldn't have done s%*# for this team. We could have spent a billion on Ohtani and Yamamoto and this still would have been a god awful team.

So we are out performing.

Disagree. I gave him the benefit of the doubt last year for way too long. Grifol is a bad manager and will never be hired by another team ever. He’s gotta go. So does Montoyo.
Montoyo is the manager in waiting.

Crochet is out of the inning with 2 ER if that strike 3 was called on the last walk.

For those who get the Tribune:
https://www.chicagotribune.com/2024/04/12/chicago-white-sox-chris-getz-2/
And I have heard that Chris Boden from WGN-TV asked Getz yesterday how this awful starts jibes with JR saying Getz was hired to turn this situation around quickly because he didn't want to waste a year. I never did hear how he answered that question, if anyone out there did, I'd be curious how Getz responded.
If you read between the lines, instead of just on the surface, Getz is doing exactly what Jerry said he would. He talked about getting better ASAP, but you miss the 2nd part where he immediately couches that in the vein of organizational evaluation. Like the moves or not, Getz has made a ton of small moves with guys down the ladder in this organization based solely what he knows about them in his former job in charge of MiLB development. Look at the list of MiLB players we have dumped already something like 6 months into his tenture as GM. He's not talking about outside talent, he is talking about inside talent if you look at his full quote. Leaving off the 2nd half takes it out of context. Jerry never said Getz was going to turn this around quickly. Jerry said Getz would evaluate the internal talent quickly in an effort to get better as fast as possible.

Kopech threw 24 pitches. Why was he unavailable?
If they are trying to turn him into a trade piece (which they should - he has the same control timetable as Cease did), they're doing a lousy job of it. They have about 2 months to prove that he's major league closer capable of handling high leverage situations and pitching multiple innings, then he needs to pitch. Save situations will be rare for this team. As of now, he's former top prospect with a lot of arm talent, who's been floundering for a couple of years in the majors.
Have you seen his history of injuries?
