Gregory Santos. Boy, was that a brain fart.

Maybe, just maybe, the White Sox would like to show interest to get him to talk about his conditioning now compared to all the times he was injured, then when he opens up, they have evidence to sue him for his salary.

This year. 2025.

Who is fixated? Cholowsky is the consensus top prospect for the 2026 draft right now and has been since about May of last year. I'm sure the Sox will scout the whole projected first round. Everybody's going to insert Cholowsky's name as shorthand for "first pick of the 2026 draft" until or unless he plays himself out of that distinction.

I'm not even sure what's being argued, here, but asking Grok how long Cholowsky has been considered the top 2026 draft prospect, I got:

Good job. We're all going to have to step on each other's jokes a lot for the next month while Caulfield is on his self-imposed hiatus. Maybe @Bob Sacamano will want to help out by referencing a list of 80's era Cub players who have absolutely nothing to do with the convo. Do you even know who's going to be the 2033 Game 3 World Series starter for the Sox? Is he even in the system? Ohtani also made an impact on the mound for LA, making his return to pitching in June after an almost two-year layoff, following two procedures, including one to repair the right ulnar collateral ligament in his elbow and his left shoulder last offseason. In 14 starts, he went 1-1 with a 2.87 ERA and had 62 strikeouts. The second-straight MVP award comes after posting a historic season last year in which he became the first player in MLB history to hit 50 home runs and steal 50 bases in a single campaign. cnn.com

If they won the Super Bowl, something tells me they're still having the parade in Chicago.

Ohtani and Jonathan Cannon are both pro baseball pitchers. There, now you have two.

We all have more weight to pull, now that Caulfield's going to be wearing out that Padres' board.

Except the FutureSox podcasts with Dylan Barnas and Elijah Evans. Those guys speak way too fast as it is.

It's a grego.

Well, Gary/Hammond could get, what, 10-11 surges in dining and hotel stays, and then have to service the stadium for the whole year? I suppose it becomes an entertainment district if they do concerts, college football, etc. And Chicago still keeps the "civic pride" of "having" an NFL team.

I don't know where to find it, but I think Murakami's in zone whiff rate is much higher.

I don't think anybody should self-deport, but Caulfield was talking about 3/36, if I remember correctly. And a few of us got swatted down for suggesting somebody like Murakami could sign with the White Sox. NostraCaulfield mocked me for suggesting 3/45.

Merry Christmas, guys. Thanks for the banter.
