Not if someone we all know can help it!!!

Win streak incoming!

Great line !

I’m not worried about Mune at all. Here’s the full Getz quote when he brought up efforts to extend him recently:

I don't know Mune's background, but I wonder if he has ever been away from home for this long?

Yas Sur. Go time.

We haven’t seen the best of 2026 Chicago White Sox baseball yet.

The starting pitching will need to step it up.

Does that mean they'll call the new South Loop stadium "the house that Peters built"?

I’m eyeing 10 now!

Give this man a trophy. Post of the day!

Why? If you can cover ground in center, you can cover ground in left. If you have an arm and can cover that ground up the middle, you can also cover right. So if Bonemer shows he can man center, he’s actually showing ( since he has the arm ) that he can play any outfield position. They’re creating a multifaceted defensive player who can cover any spot in the outfield, either spot on the right side of the dirt, and can rotate as a DH if need be on rare occasion. Peters has been fantastic in center but he already gives way to a gold glover and moves to left. It wouldn’t be a bad thing in any way to have three guys on the team who could man center on any given day. You’d also have four guys who you could put in left. I’m really not seeing the problem here.

SWEEP THE CENTRAL BABY!!!!!!!!! Off day today will do the team a world of good.

This offseason is going to be interesting for sure with the uncertainty of how CBA talks shake out and the implications baked therein. Just as interesting will be potential conversations which open up with other organizations who match up well with us in trades and potential free agents. Like you said, we’re pretty damn well set on the positional side of the game and using that strength to try matching up with teams who are somewhat hopeless with an ace is what I’m dreaming on. Pittsburgh and Skenes is the pipe dream and Seattle’s stable of rotation arms is another team which will likely be a focus. How cool would it be for us to be able to bring Skenes in for a number of reasons, one of which being Grant Taylor’s history with him at LSU where they were 1 and 2 in that rotations. ( Taylor was their number 1. ) Skenes is a guy I’d be willing to stand with the Pirates and talk eye to eye on almost any player in or org. Colson, Bonemer, Chase, Psycho Sam, Schultz, Hagen, yada yada. * Note the use of the term “pipe dream”. In addition to those paths, we also have discussions that could be had regarding the future of the rotation with guys who are currently in our pen. Grant Taylor, Sean Newcomb, Hagen Smith, etc. The positional side of this team is diverse and is locked in with intentionally padded fluidity. The rotation will need to be solidified and there are multiple avenues of accomplishing that next goal. It’s likely we see additions and changes from each of the categories, with them bringing in arms via trade, free agency, and internal promotions from bullpen arms. We may have 6 months to talk it over to death… we may have 12 months or more even. I’d rather watch paint dry… so please CBA talks… go quickly. ( They won’t. ) 😆

I am not arguing that at all. I don't blame them. I think he has some definite regression coming.

It's smart to do so. Peters has zero track record and his Savant data does not support this performance. He's more like a .700 OPS guy, which is just fine with his defense in a platoon.

Yep. Teel made first rehab appearance as a catcher. Teel was removed during game. Hopefully that was just part of the plan and not an issue.

I think Vargas is the ideal #2 hitter in today's game. He's a power guy with speed and excellent plate discipline. He'll get on but he won't clog up bases

It is fair to say that even Chris Getz doesn't even really believe in Peters, as he has lined up two potential replacements very quickly in Doyle and moving Bonemer to CF.

It’s not a doomer post. They aren’t likely going to spend on any position players after adding Doyle and Bart, whom they can bring back next season, along with the players they have coming up next (Bonemer and Roch). They have already added what they likely believe to be an ace / #2 quality starter in Castillo and a normally solid late innings reliever in Brazoban. They still have young starters that they will want to give a shot to next year in Schultz, Thorpe, and even Shane Smith to a lesser extent. They will also have other pitchers to fill either a rotation or bullpen role in Hagen Smith, McDougal, etc. I truly think the trade deadline acquisitions were half of Getz’s next offseason. I could see them signing a cheap veteran starter and some bullpen arms, but I don’t see where they are going to spend all of this money as you stated.

I can see moving Peters up to the #2 spot.

I definitely think it's the long MLB season wearing on Mune to a point. The injury didn't help where he lost some momentum. We all figured he was going to a lower BA guy with power and higher OBP. He's slumping right now and probably needs a day off or two. As far as his future, I still think he gets paid. It would be wise for the Sox to have some conversations but leave any decision to next season. If he comes out the gate next season the same guy, I don't think $200M+ is unreasonable. Contract length will be interesting.

www.mlb.com › news › tristan-peters-hit... 8小时前 · Since he once played for the Savannah Bananas, he has been given the moniker of “Bananas Bonds” during his recent power surge. Or should it be Banana Bonds for his banana bat from Players' Weekend?... White Sox Finance Bro Vest Giveaway is Sept. 5! Peters matched the franchise record set by seven players on eight previous occasions for most consecutive games with a homer. That list includes Munetaka Murakami this season, Paul Konerko (2017), Carlos Lee (’17), A.J. Pierzynski (’12), Frank Thomas (twice in 1994), Ron Kittle (’83) and Greg Luzinski (’83). The MLB record for consecutive games with a homer is eight, shared by Ken Griffey Jr. (July 20-28, 1993), Don Mattingly (July 8-18, 1987) and Dale Long (May 19-28, 1956). They probably aren’t the exact names that Peters expected to share the stage with when he was fighting for one of the final roster spots back in Glendale, Arizona, this Spring Training. “That’s crazy,” Peters said of the record. “I try not to get caught up too much in that, but obviously it’s out there, and I’ve seen it and thought about it a little bit.” “It's amazing. I don't know what words there are for what he's doing,” White Sox manager Will Venable said. “Really, really special. Really cool to watch. And obviously big for us today, what he did and the rest of the offense.” With both Peters and Murakami achieving the feat this year, the White Sox are the first team since at least 1900 to have two rookies with a home run streak of five or more games in a single season. The five-game streak ties the longest by an MLB rookie, which has been done 13 times previously, including twice by other White Sox rookies: Murakami this season and Kittle in 1983, according to Elias Sports. If it’s possible, Peters feels better than he did before the All-Star break. “I’m lifting the ball a little better now,” Peters said. “I’m just seeing the ball even better.”

Even if he is a bench/platoon player, a GG capable centerfielder for late inning defense on a team that may have Antonacci (also .598 OPS vs LHP) and Bonemer in the outfield isn't the worst thing to have available.

Had same problems remaining healthy with the Yankees/Rays milb systems.
