Ding ding ding. I believe the Sox spent close to $100 million in the offseason after 2021 but it was spent poorly.

Yep, will be interesting to see if they even have a chance to spend money.

I believe you are far too worried about that money. It’s not going to prevent another move whenever next offseason happens. This is the part of Jerry’s cycle where he actually does invest, but as we all learned over and over, Hahn did not spend his money well. It will be interesting to see how Getz prioritizes that money, he has a lot of starting options next year but none of them can you trust to come in and give you 150-180 innings. I can’t imagine they would be in the Skubal sweepstakes of course, but maybe he actually pursues a second tier starter. I still feel like they are going to give Hagen/Sandlin/Schulz every opportunity to win a job, but I don’t feel like they will all win one. Castillo is either going to find it next year, or they will manage around him like they did this year, and then be done with him. Hopefully he can find it again, he can be a nasty pitcher. This lockout though, it’s gonna suck and delay so many decisions

Tray stop guessing about other peoples fandoms. You have no idea what any of us do, you are a terrible gatekeeper and your attitude sucks

What they really want is more Dodgers Yankees Mets Cubs Red Sox Braves Phillies Blue Jays Giants nighttime standalone playoff games.

Taj Bradley would be a good example here...Ofc the White Sox don't normally go after pitchers going into their more expensive arbitration years. Gavin Floyd from past Sox teams, guys with obvious talent not meshing with current teams or pitching coaches. The Mariners had a number of younger guys underachieving or struggling. The Sox just happened to trade for the most expensive guy they knew had already passed his expiration date. They also have two of the best pitching prospects in baseball sacked up behind.

Why do you think we signed Pham?

I agree with Guff and others who have said that the Sox will need home runs, possibly a few with men on base, in order to win. Maybe come up with a new pitching strategy with Teel on board. Pitch inside on the hands if they are getting aggressive. I think there may be a fight in that game. Tensions are high.

Davis is better than Richards. He has some skills that perhaps can be further developed. They need to sign a starter...there are several mid-tier FA starters available. Trading for veteran starting pitchers is a losing proposition. The Sox made a terrible buy in July...but it wasn't just the Sox - most of the buys were bad. Last Offseason -Gore, Baz. Yuk. And the Sox history this century has largely been abysmal when trading for staring pitching. The ones we've traded away have been good; perhaps that's the answer. Draft better or trade for others' young pitxhers and keep them.

My guess is that you don't go to many if any White Sox games, probably never lived in Chicago or have much knowledge about the South side. Your pseudo-intellectual posts don't impress me. You choose to kiss Ishbia's ass and trust his motives, why.. because he is a billionaire and of course, billionaires never have self-interest at their core. Meanwhile you fail to address the two main issues in any reasonable way and cite absurd facts like the distance by way of crow flight between Rate field and the Rail yard. You think that the industrial train yard in the South Loop is a residential neighborhood like the South side. First, focus on moving an enormous rail yard between 22nd street and 39th street, a project that even White Sox ownership had no idea about its scope. Thousand of residents live within a short distance. This has become an area that has stabilized in large measure because of the White Sox and associated businesses. Many Chicago property owners have rehabbed or constructed new residences in an area that is not wealthy, but is pretty nice. Why should they have their property values, neighborhood and lifestyles impacted by the Winnetka billionaire? Look, Chicagoans have a good idea what these kind of rail yards look like. Look at CN Joliet or CN Markham, neither of which is located in a gentrified residential neighborhood. This is insane. Second, study the proposed "railyard" stadium renderings. The parcel is not large enough for a conventional mlb stadium so a tall right field wall along the canal similar to the Green Monster will be required. On the East side of this stadium there are functioning rail road tracks and a street with elevated covered walkways attach to adjacent buildings. This is what results from a flawed and rushed process and an intense, misguided ambition fueled by wealth and avarice.

Hamstring or knee tweak and then he also had that recurring blister.

It's hilarious you made this posts almost back to back.

Tyler Davis Brazobust and Richards aren't exactly guys you can count on. The fact that Hicks and 97-99 mph Fedde are the two best options now before Taylor from the rh side should tell you a lot. Ofc, jury still out on Sandlin as well.

Best of luck to you

He would have had a usage for sure.

Considering they kinda still need a high-leverage RHP, he may have had a use. He just isn't a closer. Bullpen feels so lefty now

I believe the Sox took on approximately $14 million with the Castillo/Seranthony trade. That was $14 million and a good prospect wasted.

Or a very excitable buddy?

If they have this much money, he would have sat on the contract until next year. No need to trade him AND have to push Smith into the deal because of it.

Yea… I think there may be more going on with him and Kay likely also is battling something undisclosed.

Last time I painted my face black was for the ALCS in LA for that game 5. Before the woke police were a thing. It’s about sports fandom. Not race. Clear that up?

Martin has already stated that he's been dealing with a leg injury (hamstring?) if I remember right.

It is our turn to put big numbers on the board. This team has it in em.

There’s not much to talk about. Put up or shut up. Win or go home. Matches are set. Teams known. It’s go time. Pretty much all that’s left is a 26 hour wait.
