    That's too bad. Duber was actually one of the more objective media people in the industry. He us a good reporter keeping to the information.
  2. Nah they'll go over. It's really hard to be that bad again.
  3. Took my dumb brain a second to process that the Sox did not in fact trade Chuck Garfien to the angels.

    Yes he is. Would it be JR's fault if you started a blog or a podcast that didn't work out? And then their awful owner laid off people a week before Christmas and then had the balls to go on Twitter and say "they are paid through January so no one will need to worry about money through the holidays" in the most tone deaf messaging possible.

    While true, Jerry isn’t free from blame here. Interest levels are super fucking low because of the incompetence he has allowed to fester for years.
  7. This is the worst move Getz has made, he's awful, everything is terrible.

    Nothing is guaranteed.
  9. Counterpoint to the Acuna hype: Lenyn Sosa is hitting .392 ..451 .765 with 9 HR in the same league. Maybe the pitching is not great.
  10. Anyone brought up by parents that would spell his name like that has no chance

    f*** that guy for blaming the Sox for it. They also laid off a Bears guy and people in their Denver office. A week before Christmas.
  15. I thought it was Hawk Tuah Coin?

    Sin taxes are the way to go.....$19,200 per carton of cigarettes should be a good start.

    How about Taxpayer Field at Comiskey Park for the new one? I'm warming up to y'all in Illinois buying my favorite team a new stadium. Hell, increase the hotel tax to pay for it. Joking.
  20. Yeah, the issue here isn't at the pro-level. Growing into velocity isn't terrible for your arm, it's the max effort from pony ball through pro ball that is destroying arms. Younger kids should learn to pitch first and worry about velo second. Max effort causing injuries shouldn't be surprising to anyone, but the damage is being done much sooner than at the MLB level.

    The closest thing Jerry will get to a new stadium short of paying for it himself.
  22. The Sox trading Cash doesn't tend to work out, especially for Angels catchers that never played for team trading them to the White Sox
  23. Getz is their #1 customer…
  24. Thaiss had a 100 wRC+ vs RHP last year and he’s really familiar with the coaching staff. It’s fine. Quero and Teel both need more time in AAA

    Hate Field is gonna be a good time next year.
  27. Then they just need to hold onto him, because it doesn't sound like there's much of anything out there for Robert.
  28. Cubs trade Bellinger to Yanks in exchange for righty Poteet https://www.mlb.com/news/cody-bellinger-cody-poteet-cubs-yankees-trade
  29. I'm not fighting... but I think it's silly to not assume all teams (many players) used it... Similar to steroids during the roids era.
  30. Tray...you're a bit late to the party here.
  31. Hall of Fame Thread by a Hall of Fame List member.
  32. If a team who’s designed to lose 100+ games and is focus on securing the top pick in the draft can have a good offseason, the Sox are having a good offseason.
  33. I'm going to reserve judgement until I get WestEddy's take on this
  34. Jesus Christ you guys are at it in this thread too? Just bang each other already…this will they/wont they stuff is getting annoying.
  35. Honestly, a lot of Sportings News articles feel like they are AI generated.
  36. I keep thinking a lot of these articles are written, not by AI, but by a foreign language AI. I sometimes run my own writing through ChatGPI. I'll get into arguments, late night, after a bottle of wine, with it. Asking for rhyming words for a particular word, I finally got ChatGPI to admit it doesn't really understand the concept of rhyming.
  37. This just in...White Sox on precipice of bankruptcy after Thaiss addition, offset by the $740,000 they save from their international bonus pool allotment. Yoan Moncada already enjoying his $29 million for 2024, at least. 11 hits and 11 strikeouts on the year, or $2.64 million per hit/K. Amazing production. Hopefully he invests his money wisely...and not in the reggaeton music/production industry.
  38. I wondered why we would make a move to bring aboard a guy who is going to strike out a lot, even as a back-up C. Then I thought about how he seems to fit the low cost but low reward guys we brought in last year. I would rather bring in a catcher at $1 million a year than a low reward, high cost move like Maldanado at $4.25 million. I guess the positive, Thaiss gets on base over 100 points more than his BA. If he’s a guy who can help develop our young pitches, great. If not, he’s easy to jettison.

    When people said “GRF” they knew what they meant but now that’d be RF which …is confusing
  40. Thaiss has no options remaining, so he makes the team out of spring training, or he takes a walk through waivers.
  41. They need two catchers to start the year.
  42. But we just acquired a top 8 bat in all of baseball with Meidroth. @Chicago White Sox
  43. Yeah, when somebody calls me a dunce and other names for making note that the Sox are being mentioned as a team "in" on Sasaki, it's not "crying" to push back. When somebody regularly mocks a single comment made back in spring training to end every convo, it's not "crying" to find a comment of his and push back with it. If you don't like commenters pushing back on rude behavior, I'm not sure why you're a mod and subject yourself to all this "crying" on a daily basis.
  44. What a silly trade for a massive market team. You get junk, just to shed a contract (that's not terrible), even though youre 'going for it' this year.
  45. Daniels and Nix are in systems that are being built around what they can do and a scheme that helps them. Williams is surrounded by a bunch of Bozos. The organization does not value coaching at all and may value it less then the White Sox. The entire organizational mission is to be a mom and pop thing where everyone loves Virginia and hates the Packers. The fact the Packers thoroughly emasculated them for the past 30 years and Virginia, Michael and now and ticket manager turned CEO have zero clue on how to address this issue. The team accountant was in charge for many years....yes that's who you want running the franchise. Sadly death (Bears, Bulls and Sox won't be sold) is the only way Chicago organizations change.
  46. He passed on Harbaugh. What has he accomplished in his role other then to build out non-football roles? The product on the field is worse then ever and they are destroying the one thing they have never had until this year. Yes Williams does not look that good but for God's sake he is on his third OC of the season and the OL is an absolute joke. That third round OL pick is an embarrassment. They are in no position to draft projects. Poles thought this roster was talented enough to cover for the 3rd round project and then to use 4th round pick on a punter. He got them from point A to B thanks to Lovie Smith. Without that pick we are worse off than we are now which is saying something. Now we will gamble on an inexperienced coordinator to change the organization with zero support from the clown shoes at Halas Hall. Good luck with that.
