I had read a while back that when MLB expands to 32 teams, it's actually a 156 game schedule that works well with eight 4-team divisions. 12 games against each division rival (36), 6 games against the rest of your league (72), and 3 games against the other league (48). But that doesn't factor in intercity rivals where, for example, the Sox and Cubs would play a series at each ballpark every year like now.

First baseman Anthony DePino, who hit .260/.357/.482 in Double-A this season, underwent a procedure to address a left shoulder/lat injury. Hard-throwing right-handed reliever Pierce George, who struck out 82 in 65 ⅔ innings across four minor league levels this season, suffered an olenacron fracture in his pitching elbow.

A Sox win tomorrow will be even better than a sweep...........as long as a few of us SOXTALK loyalists don't have cardiac events along the way.

Same logic led from Kimbrel QO to Pollock to Benintendi...just ended up digging a bigger hole financially.

This could be a 90 loss team next year if Mune and Kolson dont have miraculous recoverys

The future is not guaranteed. Did we only expect playoffs in 20 and 21 on the last rebuild? This year the American League was weak. Why not go for it at least a bit? I'm not saying trade away the top prospects but the Sox trade deadline was definitely lacking. And the Castillo trade was a joke. As far as the future, I love the young offense but we have no idea if some guys are having career years. And we all know our starting pitching problems. Every year is different and when there is some magic try to cash it in as best you can. A nice future aspect is that Ishbia was shown that Sox fans will absolutely support this team so I am excited for when he takes over. They are playing with house money so cash in one more time on Saturday boys and get to the ALCS.

Romo should be on the roster and starting. Teel doesnt know how to call a game

Does anybody want to guess how much money the white Sox spent in the 19-20 off season? Because I was Kenny Williams shocked at just how much was spent.

They didn’t want him on the roster. I’m not justifying the trade, just what I assume to be their logic. I am one to believe in sunk costs and would have just taken the loss on the Dominguez deal. Jerry is going to Jerry however.

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.

hi8is IRL

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
