We got 2 of their top 5 prospects, for a rental of Giolito, while also shedding salary with ReyLo. I hate the organization, but there is nothing wrong with that return.

Quero is a legit prospect. Callis and Mayo at Pipeline have been high on him. Probably slots in at #3 on Sox list ahead of Jacob Gonzalez. This does not suck for two rentals.

Very nice return. @Balta1701 - You going to admit you were wrong about Lucas commanding a top 100 prospect?

Bullshit!!!

Cmon that's not close Bullshit

Like he did last year? Pedro sucking doesn’t mean TLR didn’t also suck

I'm okay with this return.

This is such a bad take. Our farm system is bad also but our #2 would be Noah Schultz. If someone got our #2 prospect from a bad system would this be bad for the team. Judge the players.....not the system

It was obviously coming, but it still makes me miserable. On Quero, from Baseball Prospectus who had him 37/50 midseason:

This is actually a really good trade for us.

To be clear, I don’t even care if these guys end up being crap. I say trade anyone from this roster for as much as you can get. This team is years away from contention, so might as well try to stock up on prospects again.

None of this matters

We got a top 100 prospect for Giolito. Isn’t that what most of the optimists were expecting?

Might as well get swept so the Cubs don't sell and the Sox have a less diluted market work with...

Or the site is awful

Thinking back, that 5th inning might have been the worst inning of White Sox baseball I've ever seen.

Bummer has looked great lately. So that's something.

If Seby blocks the fucking ball like any half assed catches should inning was over. Pitchers have to pitch over pathetic baseball too often.

How the hell can Hahn show his face? Resign ass ?

I'm so ready for the Joe Kelly experience to be over. It was a terrible signing in the moment and worked out even worse than I anticipated.

I hate this team. By which I mean both teams.

I hate when Lynn pitches like garbage and then scoffs at his defense. Don't let the door hit you on your fat ass on the way out.

I feel like I was oversold on Beni's defense in LF, if I'm being honest.

My god Benetti is such an idiot.

Eloy was hosed by the ump. You would think when a catcher sets up off the plate and the pitcher throws it where the catcher sets up they would notice.

Thats why they don't move him to 2B...Yoan is an elite 3B

He should have already pitched his final game.

Whatever the Sox owe this guy, just DFA him and eat his contract, maybe they can write it off. The least would be that we would have a young healthy guy who would play more than 33% of the time. I would bring up Sosa and stick him at second base the rest of the year and see what we have with him with Burger going back to third base where he belongs.

Why not? He is much smarter than most of the other owners or GM's. Just ask him! ?

Yep. Lost Abreu who was their best bat from last year (he sucks this year but they still lost their best hitter and replaced with nothing) and their 2nd best pitcher from last year who was a total fluke walked as well. They brought in a shitty always injured 5th starter in Clevinger and then decided they would rely on Eloy (lol) to stay healthy. Add in some not shocking regression from Cease and Anderson falling off badly (which really started last year with his total loss of power) and here you are even with Luis Robert having a fantastic year.

Not signing up for the Sun-Times to read the full thing. But yes Pedro it's on you and Dumb and Dumber in the F.O

Do you honestly feel there's no areas where the White Sox could improve or should be doing better in the middle of their unprecedented championship window?

The last game the Sox were 20 games under .500 https://www.baseball-reference.com/boxes/CHA/CHA201909240.shtml September 24, 2019: Cleveland 11 Chicago 0 Win: Mike "Scumbag" Clevinger (13-3) 7 Innings 0 Runs Loss: Carson Fulmer (1-2) 1 Inning 4 ER If the Sox lose tomorrow, they will reach the nadir of the 2019 season.

Hahn should work in academia. He can sit and pontificate and sound smart without having any real world repercussions.

Stroman (probably) vs Lynn (probably not)

https://www.mlb.com/prospects/stats/affiliates?teamId=145&date=07/26/2023 https://www.milb.com/scores/all/all/whitesox Hoping to change our luck, although I suspect it's not luck.

The angst comes from the fact this could be a persistent and possibly career ending injury if he can't recover and be effective, and the Sox' recent track record with assessing treating in season injuries. It's not the Eloy has a mosquito bite, he's sitting out 26 games to recover across three different minor league facilities to find his favorite one and keep his rate stats high type injury.

Too busy parsing over the Rule V eligibles of the Rays, Astros, Orioles, Diamondbacks and Dodgers to meet with the riffraff media.

Even if Hahn gets fired, the POS owner will likely promote the next one in line, which is likely the loser Chris Getz who is the Asst. GM and director of player development, who has assisted Hahn in the player evaluations and player developing in the minors. Like that scenario doesn't reek of a disaster and another GM trainwreck. I'm sorry but until Jerry passes away and the team is sold, this team will live in one constant hellfire nightmare.

https://www.mlb.com/news/jake-burger-makes-first-start-at-second-base-in-white-sox-loss#:~:text=CHICAGO -- The White Sox,first base to his repertoire. After going 0/3? It seems the Sox commitment to excellence and “The Unprecedented Window” (TM) knows no bounds…

Literally everything he counted on making this team a contender has failed. Every player has been incorrectly valued or handled. It’s hard for me to believe that he thinks he is the man for this job anymore

Imagine if Tony was still in the dugout. That's another five or six losses.

Will Jerry outlive a fourth or even a fifth generation of the Wirtz family January 29, 1981 - A Day That Will Live in Infamy - Jerry Reinsdorf leads group purchase of the Chicago White Sox Arthur Wirtz dies July 21, 1983. Son Dollar Bill Wirtz takes over the Chicago NHL team. Bill Wirtz dies September 26, 2007. Son Rocky Wirtz takes over the Chicago NHL team. Rocky Wirtz dies July 25, 2023. Son Danny Wirtz takes over the Chicago NHL team.

grandal... add this guy to the list of complete and utter hatable trash cans. 1. His pitch selection as a catcher baffles me often. 2. He couldn't throw out andrew vaughn stealing 2nd. 3. I could beat him in a race running backwards and im 47 4. mediocre bat for a catcher.

Honestly at this point, what’s the point? Just 60-day IL him and see him at Spring Training.

Bronny James goes into cardiac arrest (fortunately revived and survives ) today and Jerry Reinsdorf is as healthy as a horse. f*** the entire world!

The fact Conforto is going to out homer Benintendi at GRF this year is hilarious

Yes, he did hide ala Ryan Pace. Pedro Grifol took the press conference instead, because he honors his responsibilities unlike the worthless Reinsdorf crony hire. Pedro said the following: "This is on me. I said we had high expectations and we failed to meet them. I am disappointed and there is no excuse for it." "We are addressing all of the components. We are trying to finish strong and get ready for next season." "I am having difficult conversations with players, but I'm not going to throw them under the bus publicly." "Whether it's personnel changes or cultural changes or whatever the case may be, it's going to happen." Fire Rick Hahn, NOW!
