Um...are we just trying to see how many 0 tool OFers we can acquire in one season?

Damnit I knew I should have picked Tommy Pham as my unexpected September hero.

Schriffs days are numbered

I’ve been quiet on this for the most part, but as a Sox fan, there are only two things I care about with the stadium: Will it keep the team in Chicagoland area Will it help raise payroll to make team more competitive

f*** YOU CHEATER FUCKS. LETS KEEP IT GOIN TOMORROW

You? This is not believable that you, JOEJOESOX, WOULD NOT BELIEVE THE CHICAGO TEAM WILL DO WELL. I am going to pretend you didn’t say this, because I have never heard this sort of thing from you ever

This is on Venable though. Had he pulled Kay when he was struggling in the 5th before that 3 run home run, Sox would most probably have won this game. You're not gonna score 7 runs every game, putting up 3 in the first and managing Kay whom we all know runs into disastrous innings, had he pulled him before he completely imploded in the 5th, the Sox would have won tonight. The bullpen only gave up 1 more run, Kay gave up 5... that's unacceptable considering the bullpen isn't shot. Tomorrow you can throw out Urquidy to give you 3 or 4 innings but at least winning tonight would be taking 2/3 and trying to sweep instead we probably lose 2 of 3 vs an average Twins team. Venable sucks at in game managing. We all saw Kay was throwing trash in the 5th FFS after already struggling the inning before giving up 2 runs.

Looked to see how pissed off Tray would be and it didn't disappoint.

Yeah I'm for a dome only if it's a retractable roof..

How can you credibly say that a view of the skyline “means nothing to Chicagoans”? It means a lot to this Chicagoan, and many other Chicagoans who are my friends and neighbors. By the way, are you currently a Chicagoan?

It doesn’t matter if it’s true, you always want more access to possible fans, not less because of perceived fandom percentage

He would have been better than TLR. That’s for sure.

Today could swing the standings in a significant way. Cleveland plays a double header with Detroit while the Sox have the Twins. Looking at the pitching match ups for this weekend gave me pause. Matthews has pitched very well his last three starts. Also don't like the Saturday one either. This weekend isn't going to be easy especially given the issues on offense the last six games. Fingers crossed they can figure things out. Next nine games against mediocre teams are going to be important with that series in Cleveland just around the bend.

Umps would have called that if it was Antonacci

Final month of the regular season. Feeling a laugher for the Good Guys tonight. I think we'll wake up with a smile on our face when September ends. Go take this division!

I think I'm confused.

Word on the street is Getz thinks there is something in Pham's swing that they can fix

Definite, uh, culture guy.

I think when Ishbia breaks ground, soxtalk members who can make it should all show up to the ceremony and offer huge thumbs up and carry “In for Ishbia!” Signs

It’s ok to acknowledge that Getz had a great offseason and put this team in a position to compete faster than anyone expected, while also acknowledging that some of his deadline moves were questionable or even bad. Mason Adams may not have a high ceiling, but he was a consensus org top 20 prospect. I don’t get this need to belittle him to defend Getz. Doyle has been terrible for two seasons and is the definition of a project. It’s very fair to question why we felt now was the right time to acquire and try to fix him. The same applies for Castillo. Value wise it looked an L on day one because the Mariners were desperate to move his salary. It’s still too early to fully judge the trade, but right now it looks very bad for us. Hopefully that change, but again, as Getz himself stated it’s hard to fix guys mid season. Giving up Boston Smtih for that luxury remains baffling to me. I’m a Getz supporter in general, but candidly I didn’t love our deadline.

If they do it like Seattle to where it slides and you still have a little opening maybe, but I'd still prefer just open air, if it rains it rains.

I lived in Bridgeport and love the neighborhood, but the fact is that the teams been there for a hundred years and there’s f*** all to do after a game or before a game.

The design looks terrific, hope he can get it done.

Yup, and Ishbia is going to finance the bulk of it himself. The Sox aren’t staying at the current location, so while I feel bad for Bridgeport residents, this day was always coming. At least now, the new stadium will remain in Chicago, at a better location to attract casuals & out of towners, and will be an absolute stunner.

Burke pushed back a game. I bet this is done to set up the Guardians series.

How about you go f*** off bro. This would be an incredible outcome for Sox fans and the city of Chicago and yet you continue to make ridiculously stupid statements like”Ishbia doesn’t know where Sox fans live” in a desperate attempt to discredit his vision.

Here are some noteworthy items from the Crain's article. Some were already mentioned above. The full project site covers more than 80 acres. Ishbia paid $20M earlier this year in separate transactions for sites at the NE corner of 18th and Canal. Ishbia has told people he would privately finance a new stadium. Tentative plans include a new Metra station Ishbia met with the Mayor yesterday to discuss his plan. Note that Ishbia is careful to be aware that he does not yet own the Sox: "If feasible, this plan could be presented to Chicago White Sox leadership for consideration as one of the team’s ballpark options when its current lease in the state-owned ballpark ends."

Looking at these proposed photos/maps this would be a great thing for the franchise AND the City of Chicago. With many businesses fleeing the city you have someone willing to develop millions of dollars into the city. This stadium could also have a positive impact on State Street, it would bring more people downtown.

Here's some more rendering pics for those that aren't Crains subscribers.

Fedde has a 1.04 ERA in 5 starts vs. MIN as a Sox (2024 and 2026). 26 IP, 3 ER, 24 Ks to 7 BB, and a 4-0 record. He's held them to a .416 OPS this season. Solid 3.00 ERA overall since June, that's some quality innings for a value price.

Braden really needs to improve in RF.

Just a matter of time before Tigers completely choke away this game. Gonna have to take care of our own business at some point if we want to win the division. Might as well start tonight.

and not one of them is in a Sox uniform

Two words. Ol Yeller

I have no idea what the M's owner looks like, but I have to imagine everytime he sees Castillos line it has to look something like the Jerry smirking meme.

YEAH BUDDY

At least until he actually did it, then it would have been the greatest move ever.

Trade him for Boston Smith

Imagine not fighting more when the ump fucks up that badly.

Dumpster Divers At Trashcan Bangers

A guy who seems macho (he did beat up Joc) and would bully people who like sabermetrics.

How many fWAR has your wand accumulated?

I’m changing my mind. This move puts Getz’s deadline trades back over the top. Biggest winner of the deadline and post-deadline.

Do you have a 1.2 fWAR? How many YEAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH buddies do you have?

And? You don’t punt a game in a division chase against someone chasing you.

Dec. 19, 2025 Carlos Rodriguez has been named an assistant general manager with the White Sox, joining Josh Barfield and Jin Wong in similarly titled roles they have previously held in Chicago. They report to general manager Chris Getz, who has gone outside the organization to bring in all three executives. Rodriguez joins the White Sox after 16 seasons (2010-25) with the Tampa Bay Rays, including the last six as a vice president. He was promoted to vice president, assistant general manager in November 2022 after serving as vice president of baseball operations in 2022 and vice president of player development and international scouting from 2019-21. He left the Rays at the end of the ‘25 season to pursue other opportunities. Scott Merkin article Dec. 18th,2025 TRADE DETAILS White Sox get: OF Tristan Peters Rays get: Player to be named later or cash considerations Peters, 25, was designated for assignment by the Rays on Tuesday to make room for the addition of left-hander Steven Matz. Peters slashed .266/.355/.429 last season for Triple-A Durham with 28 doubles, three triples, 15 home runs, 76 RBIs, 73 runs scored, 65 walks and 11 stolen bases over a career-high 136 games. He also appeared in four games with the Rays after making his debut on Aug. 8 at Seattle, finishing 0-for-12 with seven strikeouts. Notice how close the dates are even though the Sox got Peters the day before Rodriquez was hired I'm pretty sure he had a lot to do with the Peters acquisition.

Sox are amazing this year. Man it's hard to believe the sadness of the tank years has faded away. Sox have so much talent it's incredible led by my grinder faves: Antonacci, Meidroth and Banana Ball Man. Peters is such a breath of fresh air. Who the hell is responsible for bringing him aboard. Getz is GM of the year; our manager is manager of the year. I still say Sox-Cubs WS is finally coming.

You keep doing this but tying the Sox winning percentage to Castillo is ridiculous. He isn’t helping and the team is winning despite his awful performances. You know this as well, yet you keep making this nonsensical argument. Yes, it can still be a bad trade just because the Sox are in first place. Also, no one wants Jerry to continue paying for old washed-up has-been’s and retreads that are nearing retirement. This has been the Sox way for ages. Lip makes this argument all the time and he’s right. Baseball is a young man’s game. Stop acquiring the James Shields of baseball that are on the steps to retirement.
