Otoh Suzuki Arozarena and Sato are likely the three best FA options... Odds of the Sox signing one of them?

8 months ago Meidroth and Vargas were 1.5 WAR starters. Young players often improve. There's zero chance he's not getting 500 PA next year.

Our season hangs in the balance? We're 97% odds to make playoffs. There is nothing in the balance other than a 1/100 year type collapse. Win 3 games and we're almost assured playoffs. Win 4 and we've got 2/3 odds at a division title.

Sure you can. His opinion of how the dude's hat is supposed to be worn, even though there is literally zero guidance for how it should be in the official MLB rulebook, just happens to be go against what non-white culture accepts as OK, a lot of us who know the historic code here, can see through it, even where other's either can't, or don't want to. At the absolute bare minimum, you open yourself up to the question. At worst it is a long running continuation of the viewing of certain cultures and styles as "acceptable" and other others as "you can't wear that hat that way in MY ballgame". And then top it off, when he got called on the ridiculousness of telling a player how to wear his hat, he proceeded to take it out on the team too. Maybe the assumption should be that Eddings is too ignorant of history to realized the shoes he just walked it, but I kind of doubt it with his history. I also know he apologized afterwards, which means he realized he went way too far.

I don't see any evidence that he's a big piece going forward.

https://nypost.com/2026/09/22/sports/dave-portnoy-accuses-caleb-williams-of-spreading-disinformation-about-him/ Great, he's Leo Dicaprio mixed with Belichick. Guy makes it big and shockingly more ordinary first wife is suddenly out of the picture.

Braden is a big piece of this organization going forward. Why would you not play him and get him the playoff type of experience right now. It's only going to help him grow. You can always pinch hit for him if the situation calls for it.

I hope that poor girl didn’t quit her day job as an Instagram model/influencer and wasn’t absolutely shocked when she was dumped by the super rich dude 18 years her senior as he moved on to an even younger woman. 🤣 I’m going to guess she wasn’t all that important to be a “steadying influence”.

Oh, come on. You can be both a jerk and a bad umpire without the racial overtones that you imagined.

That is what I was referring to but it's off topic for the NFL thread so I avoided it, thanks caulfield.

Madrigal was sent back down to AAA after 10 days or so with Tampa. He actually had a few hits while filling in for injured shortstop.

Barstool made its money from frat bro culture and pizza reviews. The stuff he does now is brand damaging (picking fights with politicians and athletes over benign ass s%*#). I would imagine his cash flow is not as robust now as it was back in the day. His schtick is stale and nobody likes that s%*# anymore.

Braden has evidence of Venable doing something naughty

A lot has gone awry since Portnoy unceremoniously dumped his Colombian gf-fiancee because he suddenly realized he had no interest in marrying or having kids with her. She was the steading influence. Most still know him as the pizza review guy. But now everything is either politics/religion or related to defending Caitlin Clark from various attacks.

That’s his schtick and part of the reason he has $250 million. It gets clicks/views.

I'd probably hit Chase right before Vargas but other than that, no complaints. Also assuming this means Peters just needs another day and a good time with a lefty on the mound. Would still play Sam over Braden but he's hitting 9th I guess.

I like having the old guys at the top of the order. Hopefully will just give some hard at bats.

White Sox play at KC and home to Rockies. Indians play at Boston and at KC. I think White Sox finish 4-2 and Indians finish 2-4. Who has the Champagne ready to go???

probably a little of both I would think

He would probably die. Remember, wet noodle. =)

He has already sunk to an extreme low. Who really likes the guy anymore? He is picking fights with everyone these days too (non-sports related to boot). A very insecure loser.

Peters still sore? Or is this more righty/lefty matchup stuff?

It wouldn't shock me if he ends up in an ending of his own making.

Chase hitting 5th, Colson 8th, Braden 9th.

Watch out for both Cags and Pasqui. Witt always dangerous. Perez too.
