FO had the foresight to ensure the number one pick next year. Great job Hahn.

Mother nature must know how us Sox fans looooooove waiting on fluid situations that we can speculate on!

I’m not there yet. I really hope I can be eventually.

I unfortunately do not have the butterflies that I annually get this time every year (thanks Sox FO) but I do feel pretty happy to know that baseball is back. Its a nice distraction that is there day in and day out always having a game played somewhere.

The Cubs aren’t trading an asset at a low point. They still value him greatly I’m sure. He’s just getting some time down there as a swift kick in the rear to work on some things like Schwarber did.

If they replaced that hour of Bernstein and McKnight with someone who was not analytical, which you implied you would be missing out on, then I could see your point. But they didn’t, that hour is replaced with Laurence who is also analytical.

Laurence is no slouch when it comes to analytics.

It’s not just them though. Even the guys like barstool Dave who was ready to riot at the Rate the day Machado signed with the Pads now sits and has a nice friendly conversation with Hahn and is all back on their side. It’s not just him though it’s everyone. Even Laurence Holmes plays nice. It’s fine, it’s their livelihood and they want to make sure they don’t jeopardize it by making enemies.

Optimism keeps media members in good graces with the Sox. Apparently they are always worried to not be in good standing with them. One thing a guy like Cowley never seemed to care about.

Just to keep it positive I will say that this signing is at least one small step on a mile run for the Sox to win back my full interest and financial investment. As of today they still don’t have it. They may never will but if they can make a collection of moves that work out then it’s possible. If you are going to be cheap then you for damn sure better be smart.

Can we fit a Tatis/Shields combo in there somehow?

I wish we can just have a banner of my defeated spirit and hopeless outlook but the graphics probably wouldn't blend well.

No I think there could be worse times ahead. As this "rebuild" plays out it has the potential to get even uglier. It may be a total an epic failure but even if its not there are going to be some failed prospects along the way that will leave a lot of us doubting. There will not be much patience from the fans that are still left. Have a nice Tuesday.

It’s the kind that sucks.

Those two might happen to work out fine actually but yeah it will still be a constant reminder of the embarrassing strategy.

Not sure I will ever bother with a FA wishlist again. Hahn and company will definitely have to blow me away with some shrewd moves before I have any hope in them again. I still can’t shake this disappointing off season for the life of me. I would really like to be excited as I usually am this time of year but it’s not there. I’m pissed off.

Kevan Smith never struck me as a permanent major leaguer. A really good minor league player that could be called up when needed in emergency but nothing more. Actually I didnt even think he was that much when I first watch him play and practice in person at ST a couple years ago. I didnt think he should even sniff the majors. He proved me wrong in that sense.

I wouldn’t be mad if the Sox wound up with a better record than the Pads and Phils this year. It wouldn’t change how I feel about management but it sure would be nice to laugh at those teams after all the hoopla of their offseasons. Very unlikely to happen tho.

Either it’s because we are an irrelevant team or just an honest mistake but since I am still butt hurt I’m gonna go with irrelevance.

The White Sox are that girl I always considered to be hot but then I got to know another side of her and realized she was dumb, shallow, and didn’t give a shit about me. I just can’t see that girl in the same light after that.

Email Brooks Boyer. If he gets enough he will have to at least mention to the FO that things don’t look good if they don’t already know. They are so out of touch I believe it’s possible they do not understand the extent of outrage right now.

That’s how I know I’m at the end of my rope with them. The kids cannot win me back. I wish them the best because they didn’t do anything to deserve being in a terrible org either but the kids doing well doesn’t erase what Jerry and his FO did. I guarantee I will not attend a single game until they make it right. I don’t even know what they could do to make it right at this point either, maybe nothing.

I am officially at the stage of acceptance in my grieving cycle. And by acceptance I mean I don’t give a 💩 about this team anymore because I accept who they are. The owner and FO wasn’t who I had hoped. Not even close. They don’t deserve a fan like me. Not sure there is anything that they could do for them to win me back either.

When I don’t spend a dime on this team it will be a shame Kenny. Because me and many others would have been willing to spend a very nice amount if you just would have done the right thing.

I have no words for them anymore.
