January 20, 1965 - Another big deal pulled off by Sox G.M. Ed Short which kept the franchise’s streak of winning seasons going. The Sox were part of a three-team trade with the Indians and Athletics. When all was said and done, the Sox parted with outfielders Jim Landis and Mike Hershberger, pitcher Fred Talbot and catcher Cam Carreon. In return they got back power hitting catcher John “Honey” Romano, pitcher Tommy John and outfielder Tommie Agee. Agee would be named Rookie of the Year in 1966 becoming the first Sox player ever with 20 home runs and 20 stolen bases in a season. John would be part of the Sox brilliant starting rotation, making the All-Star team for the first time in 1968. He’d win 82 games in seven years, three times posting an ERA of under three. His trade to the Dodgers at the winter meetings in 1971 netted the Sox Dick Allen. Romano wasn’t a slouch either in his second stint with the club, banging out 33 home runs in two seasons before being traded. Romano originally came up in the White Sox system and played in 53 games during the 1959 pennant winning season. January 20, 1984 - Once again Sox G.M. Roland Hemond used the free agent compensation rule to the White Sox advantage, plucking future Hall of Famer Tom Seaver from the Mets. In his two full years with the Sox, Seaver would win 31 games, including his 300th one overall on August 4, 1985 against the Yankees. Earlier that same season he started his 14th opening day on the mound, a big-league record. In both full seasons he’d also throw over 236 innings, averaging 132 strikeouts and have an ERA both times under four. In 1985 his ERA was 3.17. Tom had to be convinced to join the Sox. It took co-owners Eddie Einhorn and Jerry Reinsdorf going to his hotel room at the winter meetings after they selected him to talk with him face to face before he agreed…. but, before Seaver let them in, he asked to see their ID’s since he had never met them before!

it's wild the difference in the game comes down to a bunch of dudes deciding not to block on a punt.

Hell of a game. Nobody I talked to thought they had a chance, but they were obviously within striking distance with less than a minute to play. That line is nuts.

Portal is closed but the teams still playing get an exception. Sounds like it was a done deal to GT a few weeks ago

That he could go more than a day without making a post that contained eleven random names that were not related, in anyway, to the topic at hand. Just couldn't do it....

What was the bet?

Shows what a business it has become. I thought the portal was closed. Three different Big 10 teams winning and first non repeat winner since 96. That is crazy.

Mendoza brother in the portal already. For my sake, I hope he’s good

This is self enforcement. I didn’t even know it happened 😂

Element of surprise.

I didn't understand the need to go for a 1v1 50/50 ball from Beck there. There's plenty of time left.

I am devastated.

The cap is complicated and requires a pretty in-depth understanding of each teams situation. Which is why I prefer getting information from people who actually cover the team, rather than national writer who is painting with broad strokes

This is pretty awesome

Punch and counterpunch in the 4th quarter. Great response again Canes. Indiana leads 24-21. I love the refusal to quit even after that Mendoza TD. Hit. Stick. Bust Dick!

Try this one then which looks into the cap situation and how the bears may have to replace/revamp almost the entire defensive secondary: https://www.cbssports.com/nfl/news/whats-next-for-bears-nfl-playoffs-offseason-caleb-williams/

Canes close the deficit to 17-14 early in the 4th. Keep fighting Canes...im proud of you. Hit. Stick. Bust Dick!

PCA wishes he's as clutch as Caleb.

Crowd went nuts for Caleb (oh and some other guy was next to him).

Thank you for making my 20s a blur with all the cup championships captain.

Gotta go IU tonight. Their AD is from my hometown.

I mean, this same article has been written for months on this site. They need a pash rusher, find a solution at LT with Ozzy hurt, and figure out what they want to do a safety. Finley didn’t exactly re-invent the wheel with this one.

It really sucks that it looked like they hit on a left tackle and he got hurt in January, and they are saying at best he could be ready mid December but likely this is a upcoming lost season for Trapilo. And that put the bears in a situation that they have to explore drafting another or sign/trade for one

Let's go Canes...bring home #6!

Things like this remind me that I have no idea how the NFL cap works.
