Here at the game. Don’t know anything about him but that Alberto dude has something. Tall as s%*#, great extension and velocity, solid off speed offering.

Sox win 5-1 ! Record is 9-7.

Shut it all down. We need trucks and street sweepers, can’t do this

After watching this Garfein interview of Kelenic I’m rooting for him to make it. Pretty introspective about his struggles, doesn’t come off cocky or like a jerk, willing to discuss his problems

In the grand scheme of the issue none of this matters. It doesn't matter if one is lying and the other isnt. Or if both are. The underlying issue is to have a healthy league there needs to be competitive balance. Could the pirates, Marlins or other teams spend more? Probably. But they never will be able to spend like the Dodgers, Mets or Yankees. Those teams just have far more revenues. They could spend 5 times what the other teams do and make more profit. There needs to be a mechanism for create a better balance whether its more revenue sharing or a cap/floor structure.

Phase I environmental will require appx 30 large trucks per day removing wet, contaminated soil. The contaminated soil will be transported via tarped trucks exiting the site southbound on Wells Street/Wentworth Avenue to 18th Street, then west on 18th Street to Canalport Avenue, then southwest on Canalport Avenue, then entering eastbound I-90/I-94 ... and continuing to southbound I-55 for disposal at a licensed landfill in Joliet, Illinois - a circuitous route for truckers through narrow streets. Reverse that and that is a main route for ingress to the site. Oh yes, the contractor will be required to hire street sweepers for the contaminated mud from truck tires.

Felt nice about the future Sox until I saw that putrid Nick Shitlicker Swisher tribute on the OF wall.

Why would he get optioned?

That'll do

Pretty nice 10p inning from Alberto topping out at 98.9...I think he's easier to stash in the short term than Paez.

I don’t think McDougal will be down very long.

Home broadcasts for road games are very rare in spring training, CHSN isn't really an outlier here.

Its kind of embarrassing that CHSN cant broadcast their own game and have to relay the Mariners broadcast. Granted it's better than nothing

They knew it was coming, but still probably stings. McDougal will probably be up first, but Charlotte is not an easy place to pitch for anyone.

I know I’m late to the party here, but…. Who the f*** else’s opinion would it be?

Dylan Covey now that is a blast from the recent past.

Reporting you to Chairman Mao!

I don’t disagree with this at all. But it’s just important to point out that the players were getting like 40-50% of the revenue then and they’re getting 80-90% of the revenue now. Which, good on the players and their union. Only point I want to make is that there is not the same amount of fat to trim off anymore, and that leads to a fundamentally different set of circumstances. But yes, revenue is not the same as wealth. The owners are doing fine. But “owner” does not equal “team” in terms of revenues/P&L/etc.

The advent of steroids helped make the union too comfortable with the long period of wait to get to free agency. Now that players are subjected to natural aging and the teams are wiser with their money, the number one problem for the players is that it takes at least 2 or 3 years too long to reach FA. Because of this, the smart money is focused on cost-capped amateurs who turn into cost-capped minor leaguers who turn into cost-capped pre-FA players. And then those guys turn into extremely risky free agents because they are so overwhelmingly like 30 years old and out of useful productive years. The rare young free agent becomes very expensive as a result. Union hasn't even made an effort on this issue in several cycles and it seems to me they have no nerve at all. They jumped at a "compromise" in which they got some chump change on the fringes in those early years while the owners imposed a soft cap that increases below inflation rate and scares all but one team.

It’s a staff without substance and texture. “That’s a big thing for us: not to care about what people are thinking outside of this clubhouse,” Martin said. “Face it, our staff is going to look different, than like say, the Dodgers. It’s not going to be as much copy and paste like other organizations because of where we’re at.” But it shouldn’t be worse than, say, the Rockies for that matter, either.

Youngest player in the WBC (and 2026 draft eligible...)

And the Bears wouldn’t have been able to beat that offer given the Ravens are picking ahead of the Bears. Just too much

And McDougal

Billy Carlson made his debut.

Callis answered a question on what the long term outlook of the IF is for the White Sox if they draft Cholowsky. He has Colson at 3B, Carlson at SS, Cholowsky at 2B, with Bonemer shifting to a corner OF spot.

Any word on how they ingressed or regressed?
