Assuming loss today, the winning percentage probably then on pace for about 25 wins. They’ll win more than that but honestly, 120 losses wouldn’t be too crazy. This team is that bad.
How many times do you think this team will get shut out this season?
I'll go with 70.

Remember how excited we all were when the Sox signed this guy?

I'm not predicting it, but if they failed to win 60 I would not be surprised in the least.
Same here.

Do we know for a fact that Getz isn't trying to trade him?

Do we realize this is not KevAn Smith of the White Sox?
He was a better catcher than anybody on the roster right now.

This is a hell of a trade on paper. Pretty incredible they got 5 players for Bummer, at least 3 of them who could provide some value. Guess we shall see with Soroka though. Shuster seems like the true headliner; imagine he slots into the rotation right away.
With a 6.79 ERA, I'm amazed we got anything for Bummer.
I won't miss him. [

They had one of these in the 1990s at the ballpark. I believe it was after the strike. I looked it up. They called it Winter Warm Up at the ballpark. It was held February 11+ 12, 1995. It was a mini Soxfest.I still have the program from it. It was a good time. I hope they have it again.
I was there. Got to go inside the Sox clubhouse and on the field behind home plate. Got Hawk and Wimpy's autographs.
Man, was it cold that day. 🥶

Grifol is about as likable as Root Canal with a case of swollen hemorrhoids thrown in.
And a pinch of Gonorrhea.
Say what you want about Renteria, but at least his teams played hard [remember ''Ricky's boys don't quit?]. While many of his managerial moves literally made me scream, his marginally talented teams were more fun to watch than almost anything I saw in the 2023 White Sox.

It’s refreshing that he knows the problems instead of feeding us a bunch of BS, letting TA go was a good start but there is so much more to do. I agree there are no untouchables and if it improves the club where they can pick up 2 or 3 guys who can make the team better then I’m OK with trading Robert.
The first step towards recovery is admitting that there is a problem... clearly a breath of fresh air from the previous regime who was constantly trying to blow sunshine up our asses.
Reportedly there were multiple cancers in that clubhouse last year, and I have long believed that TA was one of them.
I hope they don't trade Robert, but I don't consider him untradeable if the price is right.

I can't help but think that Kenny made this trade as one final F--K YOU on his way out the door.
I'm sure this has been posted before but it shows how `f---ed up the KenHahn arrangement was. At least Getz will call all the shots by himself.
Kenny Williams had overriding authority to trade with 2 MLB teams: sources

Not expecting a season and haven't for some time, and I'm having a hard time caring anymore.
This could be very bad for the future of the game.

You mean to tell me there isn't enough Cubs content to fill a 24/7 regional sports network? GASP!
Most of the time, NBC Sports Chicago airs infomercials, mid-major college sports, American Ninja Warrior, poker, fishing and hunting shows, and other sports programming that is unrelated to the three teams whose games actually air on the channel. Big Ten Network has FOURTEEN teams, and they still air a ton of weird stuff. What is Marquee going to air in the winter months?

If Comcast signs on for Marquee, which they probably will eventually, all of this will be forgotten.
It took Comcast a year to come to an agreement with Big Ten Network.

I LOVE the idea of constantly adding young talent and keeping the farm system strong.

Look to the right of the scoreboard on the façade of the upper deck, and you'll see the infamous Gatorade sign..

Really hoping Adolfo stays healthy and shows he's a legit option for RF.
I agree, but I'm not counting on it. For some reason with some players, once the injury bug bites, it keeps on biting... look at Burger. It sucks and it's not fair, but that's life.
I follow the minor leagues regularly, and I panic whenever his name isn't in the box score.

Any chance he'll be stateside this year? I really hope he at least gets a shot in short season ball this year.
Based on recent history, I'm guessing DSL.
I'll say 75% DSL 25% AZL

How recent is this list?
Gavin Sheets is still on it.

They absolutely are, however it was almost impossible to move him before this ruling because if he had won it would dramatically impact his trade value - 1 year of control versus 2. Any team acquiring him would want to delay until after this ruling came down to ensure they had 2 years of control before paying a fair price for that.
The hot rumor about a month ago had Bryant going to the Braves for a package of prospects.

I think Black Jack is just upset he is the most prominent White Sox of his era the team didn’t welcome back with open arms. Ozzie and Robin managed, Big Hurt is an ambassador and does TV work, even grumpy Carlton Fisk is an ambassador. Bo Jackson the same.
Interesting theory, but you have to wonder how much of that is Jack's fault.
Jack used to write a column for Yahoo, and several years ago he wrote something regarding Gordon Beckham (I forget what it was about). Anyway, Hawk ripped him on the air over it, saying "I've lost a lot of respect for Jack McDowell." That's the worst thing I've ever heard Hawk say about any Sox player. IIRC, Black Jack did a couple games with Hawk before this incident.
McDowell was invited back for the `93 reunion... he threw out the first pitch that day.
He's very opinionated and not afraid to speak his mind... just Jack being Jack.

FWIW, McDowell was supposed to be on with McNeil and Parkins back in October to tallk about how cheap JR is, but he cancelled the interview and never rescheduled.
Not sure what, if anything, to make of this.

I have long felt that the rebuild seemed a bit half-assed. I liked the system in the 90s, when there was always a Ray Durham, a Carlos Lee, a Magglio Ordonez, a Joe Crede, an Aaron Rowand, or a Mark Buehrle just waiting in the wings.
