So there is like a 100 million dollar difference between what JR claims on revenue and this chart. JR is claiming operating losses. Truth is probably somewhere in the middle.

These numbers just seem mostly made-up or pulled from thin air.

Another lefty reliever. By my count on the 40-man/NRI, we have: Sean Newcomb (I do believe he gets the chance to start. He's talked about it and probably why he chose here) Tyler Gilbert Brandon Eisert, 2 options remaining Bryan Hudson, 0 (feels like a soon to be DFA when they need to make room for Dominguez) Chris Murphy, 1 Ky Bush, 2 (who knows, may be ticketed to pen here when healthy) Ryan Borucki, 0

Stunned? His career mark is 83. I just think some focus and reps could get him into the 80s.

I would assume a MiLB deal with an invite? Hasn't been "good" in years. Anyone have background? Injury or just not good?

I feel pretty good about 2026 knowing Josh Rojas is gone.

I would be stunned if Acuna could even put up an 88 wRC+. Hope I’m wrong.

That’s only because you know you are getting an interview with Jerry if Getz has another 100+ loss season.

also this

It's better than wallowing in self-pity IMO.

We were mentioned as a landing spot for one of them(I don't think Jon has any info other than we have funds and a starting spot) but I doubt either one of them comes here.

I'm not even going to link the POS article, but ESPN put out their top 100. They only have 3 Sox prospects 34. Caleb Bonemer 96. Noah Schultz 100. Billy Carlson They even used the wrong picture for Schultz.

I try to be positive every year.

Made me think of this scene Here's hoping it ends similarly with a 100 win season out of nowhere

You have said this every year since I have known you

If Acuna provides plus D in CF then yeah wRC+ of 88 is ok. You can bat him 9th. I hope they scouted him thoroughly when he was playing CF in the minors. ..

Steamer projections for three possible CF options: Acuna: 385 PA | 88 wRC+ | 1.1 fWAR | $0.9M Bader: 436 PA | 96 wRC+ | 1.3 fWAR | $10M Robert: 477 PA | 95 wRC+ | 1.6 fWAR | $20M Offensive projections aren’t too different and fWAR figures above assume Acuna is playing 2B. That being said, if Acuna can provide plus defense in CF, he’s probably around the same fWAR as the other two guys and at a fraction of the cost. I still think Robert will be over 100 wRC+ next year (and possibly by quite a bit), but there is no denying the health concerns.

They attribute it to Bregman and win total of 99.

I've said it before and i will say it again: The White Sox are coming, Tra La, Tra La!!!!

Caleb to the Da Bears, confirmed.

You got to the point in the end. It isn't a "choice" of drafting a star. Even drafting in the middle of the first round isn't a promise that you will get a starter, let alone a star, and you even put a great list of busts together to prove the point. You can go through most teams 1st round picks and find this out. If the Sox get a no bat, defensive whiz out of Billy Carlson at pick 10, they did their job, and came out ahead of expected results.

Yeah I guess breakout is just relative to each team’s situation. Braves and Orioles: Teams going back to being contenders after a down year Sox and Pirates: Most improved losers Cubs: World Series or bust I buy the Pirates way more than the Sox on pitching alone, even though their lineup still looks a little sketchy.

I'm assuming they mean World Series apperance for the Cubs as a "Breakout"? I'm hoping for 72 wins for the Sox this year...maybe 74. God if we don't add a starting pitcher it's going to be rough though.
