Yes, Ping Tom Park is immediately south of the 78. To the west, the UIC campus is only a 10 minute walk down Roosevelt from the NW end of the proposed Railyards development. This is a great opportunity to fill a huge gap and link these neighborhoods together. There was a proposal pitched a few months ago for a bus express route linking the Museum Campus, the 78, and Union/Ogilvie Stations. I don’t know how likely that is to happen, but it’s an interesting proposal. Block Club ChicagoSouth Loop Neighbors Pitch New Bus Connector As Developme...The proposed rapid bus line could get commuters around the South Loop with less hassle while leaving traffic and bike lanes untouched, according to South Loop Neighbors.

old friend alert

Get King and I’ll be excited. Not sure they will add more than one (though I hope so). Push Kay to pen and have Schultz and Sandlin as the top options at Charlotte to replace guys who may get hurt/DFA’d (looks at Castillo) would be nice

Not a big fan of chasing a 36 year old coming off of a career year and a record high IP by about 30 innings when you include his playoff time.

I think Nick Martinez is a sneaky target if the Sox want to go pick up two arms. I like his fit, and he should be closer to a normal Sox expenditure. Hopefully he could be coupled someone like King or Rogers. Probably a pipe dream to get both, but it would be nice.

Yeah, but they’re proposing to move the team a whopping….checks notes….two miles away to a location that is…checks notes again….still on the South Side of the city. What a total travesty! Oh, and let’s not forget: billionaire, Winnetka, Michigan. We can only hope that Manfred’s successor steps in and insists that the Sox be sold to someone with a net worth below $1B and who was born and raised on the South Side. Apply a similar criteria to all future MLB franchise sales.

I said “Not a good week to have the initials CW as an NFL QB”. I’m talking about a bad week, which he had, not a bad career. No need for everyone to be so reflexively defensive.

Really? I thought Cash might win it! He did a heck of a job this year as well! Tougher division and the Rays were not good in 2025. I love that Will won it but I feel that many people are sleeping on Cash's performance this season.

Well deserved, Will! Congrats

There would also be more residential units in the west side of the river if the Railyards development comes to fruition. It’ll be interesting to see how many units total between the two sites there would be.

Congrats to Will.....great job! Now, do it again.

Very good player for a very good player! Cameron's WAR: 46.7 Konerko's WAR: 28.0 Cameron bounced from team to team...but overall...he was a helluva player!

I started working in the financial district in 1998, and that area south of about Congress, but especially south of Roosevelt was just wasted space for the most part. The area along LSD and between Roosevelt and Congress has really grown up, but this would really fill in the area between there and about Chinatowns northern end really well.

I don't know how many innings Vasil will pitch or if he is effective next season, the TJ jury is still out. I will make a very unpopular prediction; Castillo wins 7 games in a lock out season. Please don't throw a pie in my face until after end of next year..

Cool that you can see Soldier Field in the image...I know the Bears are leaving...but if they could have somehow made their current location work AND the White Sox build in the railyards...it would be a ridiculously cool area of Chicago to (re)develop! Still exciting with what is likely happening but linking any White Sox ballpark to the current Bears location with a soccer stadium in the mix would make that area hop beyond imagination!

I remember the Konerko trade; the Sox gave up a heck of a player in Cameron for Pauley. Konerko does have a statue at The Rate, so I think the Sox were happy with the trade.

Extremely well deserved!!! Congrats Will!

Vey few relievers are considered reliable, an organization develops arms and hopefully they pan out. I have no clue what Hagen Smith is and game 4 of the ALDS showed that Grant Taylor is not bulletproof. Grant is far from a finished product. He has the toolbox to be elite but there were bumps along the way this year. Let's be honest, he didn't face the toughest offenses in the post season. Trying him as a starter makes sense, then you hope to configure a Treavor McGill along the way.

Be really fun if they figure out a way to get places with a view into the park.

You are calling him "proven". He threw much less than half a season in the bigs, and wasn't "dominant" in the most important ones. It's an absurd premise over 32 fucking innings. It's like calling someone proven for 100 ABs.

No doubt Hagen was dominant, but I think the Sox bring him along slowly. No need to put unneeded pressure on him or have unrealistic goals for him while he is still developing.

What an unbelievable transformation coming to the South Loop.

Kirk ain't but that defense could.

That wasn't on Venable. He wasn't the one that couldn't hit a baseball at the end.

Well deserved. Hope they can continue to build on it.
