Lmao a motivated Dayo Odeyingbo. What a fucking joke

What? Wrong Matt Ryan says that Ian Cunningham will be the one making the final decisions in the draft and free agency.

Why is this something? We‘re talking 23 ABs for Chase and 15 for Tristan. There is literally nothing of significance that could be gained from such a small stat line.

Solid 2 scoreless for Paez. Changeup was effective, responsible for all of his whiffs (4) and Ks (2).

They have said they view Sandlin as a starter

I'm getting ready for opening day. Smith is a good pick. Here's hoping for some positive White Sox performances this season.

From what I understand, Twins and Sox talked about Fedde. Couldn’t agree on players. Twins wanted Sox to eat money and Sox needed Keashall to consider it. Twins weren’t interested.

Names ending in sky are typically Russian. Polish is ski.

Lets hope so. Unbelievable that people continually cry about the bad records and say its so embarassing then double talk saying dont waste money on vets to incrementally improve the team while working in the rookies. These vets help the young players. Every rebuild does this.No team in any sport relies solely on young players. It helps the young players to know they will get the chances to play while they also see win totals increase year to year . That idiotic strategy would have precluded the 2 year contract to Murakami. There's also no way to acquire young players if you have nothing but young players unless all you do is sign guys like Kelenic. People really need to think before they talk about such idiotic notions. The drafts the last few years are way better than most drafts in the Hahn Williams years. Then they built the infrastructure to help them. The $85M payroll isnt low enough for people yet I guess. Jerry is that you ?

He does (that's how we got Vasil), but it should be likelier than not that he gets through. Not a lot of teams with MLB innings available to stash a guy who hasn't even pitched in AA. The Rockies seem like a particularly bad welcome to the majors for a young arm skipping levels, and Washington just signed Littell which makes them a less likely fit...who else would have the BP roster spot to spare?

I love to her stories about parents and grandparents coming to America and making it all work out.

That's a 99 win pace over 162. Ya gotta believe!!!

And Acuña was getting the Vargas treatment right after the trade. I think he's going to be a bit more than a light-hitting Leury Garcia.

Revisionist historians still pushing the negative agenda lies. They got a decent prospect possibly just finding his MLB stroke and a pitcher. Why send money in the Robert trade ? Didnt they make 3 more moves after that $22M was taken off the books and they quickly spent it. Austin Hayes was one of the moves. Serathony Dominquez the other and the Hicks /Sandlin move. Between Acuna, Hays,Dominquez, Hicks and Sandlin, that's 2 future pieces and 4 of the 5 for immediate help if Acuna and Hicks can stick around long enough to make contributions to a better than 2025 team. Helped the OF offensively & defensively while the bullpen was also significantly upgraded as well. Convenient for those historians to forget the repurposing of that Robert salary which Getz said they'd do. He kept his word.

Sox win 12-3. Their record is 11-7 .

Of the two Rule 5 guys, I think they have a better chance of shielding Alberto since he’s a hard thrower and a pure reliever. They can just hide him in garbage time until he proves himself. If they can find a way to keep Paez as well and develop him in the minors, that would be nice.

Sign Giolito

If he was clearly looking not ready for prime time, he probably slips through waivers. Then they cut their deal with the Red Sox. This was discussed on this weeks' FutureSox Sunday night podcast, where a team like the Nationals are desperate enough to grab and hide Paez.

Guys must've gotten tired running around the bases over and over

He's a man of many talents. He's also a top comedian. Forgot to include that.

Noah Phalen is currently drafting a tweet on how Dunn, Romo, and Bergola should all make the opening day roster.

Holy crap. We were up 1-0. I step away to get some work done and now its 12-0 wtf.

Drew Romo triples home all 3 runners. 11-0. 11 straight on base Still no outs.

Somewhere, a FanSided blogger is deleting an "ex-Team rues letting this Pitcher walk" post about Valente Bellozo.

Wade singles bases loaded , no outs 8 straught hits.

Hayes singles in B.Monty. 6-0. Beni to 2nd .7 hits in a row.

Ollie Dunn with a leadoff 3 bagger. Drew Romo singles him in. 2 -0 🙂

Very solid. 25 of 33 pitches were strikes. Hopefully he'll keep settling in and make it a tough decision to keep him or not. If you know you arent going to make the playoffs picking up free pitching talent that automatically slots into your top 15 or so prospects might be a risk worth taking with him and Alberto. Its like getting 2 decent pitching prospects in a trade but you have to burn the 1st service year right away.

My mothers side of the family had Polish from my granny but the last name ended with 'wicz I think. I see my cousins on FB using the last name every so often like 4 syllables starts with P like Paterkawicz or some such.

To be fair it's not that hard. Being the board troll is an easy gig these days

It's a few bucks to advance the franchise. It is an absolute failure to do otherwise.

Which, again, is the entire point. Jerry is absolutely willing to hurt the team to save a few bucks. That hasn't changed with Chris Getz, Rick Hahn, Kenny Williams or any other hire.

Seatbelt laws regulate behavior, not medical procedures. Vaccine mandates involve injecting something into someone’s body, which raises a different level of ethical and legal concern. Supporting vaccines or social safety nets doesn’t automatically mean supporting government-mandated medical interventions. Plenty of countries with universal healthcare rely on voluntary vaccination rather than coercion. Public health works best when trust is maintained, not when compliance is forced.

Must be just to get all the pitchers reps. Thought it was usually just 4 tho and then a coach would help out. Little spring curiosity maybe I'll ask someone if I get to a game.

Seems early for Gonzalez but I guess hes been bad.

Too bad for Taiwan. They can enjoy bragging rights over SK tho until next WBC.

I’m not sure it was as simple as, “Sox don’t want to trade in division”: It was more nuanced than that. Twins wanted money, Sox liked Dodgers deal better than what Minnesota would actually do etc. I’d heard the day before the trade happened that the Reds were offering Zach Maxwell straight up for Robert. No idea on $$.

There's also the opportunity cost they're spending on Benintendi. There are only 13 offensive roster spots, and Benintendi will be taking one of them. That means they can't carry one of Pereira/Kelenic/Hill/Mead/etc. It would be worth the incurred league minimum to DFA Benintendi and roster Pereira, for instance.

A name with an sky at the end isn't necessarily Polish. "Ski" indicates Polish. "Sky" can be Ukrainian or Russian.

Carlson 100% depends on his bat, which has miles to go. Penciling this dude into a starting position, and trying to move players around before he has ever taken a MiLB AB, it nuts. Let him simmer first and start to force his way into the picture.

They are paying him whether he is here or not. It's a sunk cost. The contract is guaranteed.

Without mandates, the cost of the insurance pool for those over 60 and with pre-existing conditions just becomes prohibitively expensive. So everyone under forty without health insurance through an employer should rely on GoFundMe when they experience unforeseen medical emergencies? Social security and Medicare are two of the most popular government programs and both are mandates. Heck, wearing seat belts or three strikes and you're out out for OWI are also mandates. So, basically you believe in everyone for themselves instead of the greatest good for the greatest number of people possible? Why do all those countries with higher tax rates, less gun deaths, universal single payer health insurance, superior public education systems, better leave policies and worker protections like Sweden Finland Norway Iceland have much happier middle class populations? In China, women get four or even five months (if over thirty or recovering from a difficult pregnancy) off paid leave when they have a baby and basically all the costs are paid for/subsidized if you're a legally married couple. US couples usually get 2-3 weeks, yes? And men have to fight still for any leave days.

First BA mock of the season, no surprise at 1.1.

Um yeah, they turned around immediately redeployed the money they saved by dealing Robert. They could have ate part of Robert’s salary, but preferred to use their general budget to go buy Sandlin and the other free agents they ended up signing. If you’re angry about our the budget Getz has been given (which is totally fair), that’s very much a different claim than saying we were unwilling to eat part of Robert’s contract.

He wrote an article suggesting Eloy Jimenez was opening eyes after 8 PAs. White Sox fans might cringe at slugging disappointment's Blue Jays comeback bid

Joe Rogan is pretty cool, isn’t he?

This has been reported as not a real thing multiple times.

You need to listen to less fake news and more Joe Rogan.
