Tonight was a good time. Very unique. We pretty much had the whole museum to ourselves, players were scattered throughout, and you got get a pic or autograph if you wanted. Got to talk to Sheets, Eder, Soroka, Kittle, DeJong and Montgomery. I’d say for what the Sox have offered season ticket holders in the past, this was one of the better events pre-Covid, despite all the beer running out in the first 45 min. I drink wine too so it was whatever.

Pius is going to be 33 this year and hasn’t been in the majors or minors since 2019. There is nothing here that would make me think he would be a good addition.

I don’t think that was the intention, but it certainly seems like someone out of their depth is running that account the last week or so. I’ve never heard of stylizing a tweet like that. Usually your accompanying graphic or video should handle the creative side of things.

I’ll be there. I’m not entirely sure what to expect, but I do know private events at the Field Museum are quite nice.

Certainly an interesting strategy the Cubs are taking this offseason.

$11M for a guy that will make roughly 10 starts for you. Yuck.

Eh, you’d be surprised. But it wouldn’t happen for such smaller companies. The nationwide brands will always be able to beat it.

I’d be shocked if it isn’t named after a company. Naming rights are worth too much to pass up, especially for a new stadium. Sox fans will find their own name for it though. I like the seven-eight personally, but having something like “Wintrust Field at the 78” wouldn’t be the worst thing IMO.

Joey Ortiz was brought in at halftime and gave them a pep talk.

Sanchez might be the one of the most overhyped prospect of the Hahn era. Literally everything they initially said about him was false.

The massive increase to the overall value of the team is likely his motivation for this.

Thanks for the insult? Maybe you've never worked for a company that runs things half-assed backwards, or maybe you're a yes-man yourself, but do yourself a favor and look up the top reasons good employees leave companies. It's not conspiracy.

You know what they say about top talent leaving? Jerry can be loyal all he wants, but the way the Sox are run forces the talented individuals to seek out better opportunities and take them. That's why you have all these company yes men in the organization - they wouldn't be employed this long for other organizations.

I think they are tapped financially. It’s pretty obvious the budget Getz has to work with is non-existent. If you move Cease, that would give them $8-9M to work with, and then I thing you’re right - we might see a guy like Grichuk brought in.

With all the 4A guys brought in so far, I'd bet that the starting RF is already here we just don't know it yet.

Worded this way, I would totally agree with you. Guess we will find out if he has what it takes in Toronto.

Huh, that's certainly something.

I'd be perfectly fine if they wanted to jump in front of the O's and get Cease.

Yes. Y2Jimmy0 isn't making s%*# up.

The Sox literally don't view him as a starter.

A team in the Sox current position don’t need long term, high-priced relievers. When the Sox signed Graveman they were in a totally different state.

Apparently Tim’s wife Bria is pregnant per her Instagram. What a weird and odd situation.

Actually makes a lot of sense... They clearly zapped him brain with that pen thing. Explains a lot.

I think you’re the one that needs to look up the prerequisites for how one earns a save…

He might have an inside track on the closer job if Santos isn’t ready.
