Grok tells me this about opening day roster players remaining in the game two years later:

SoxMachine's "Where are they Now?" to end all where-are-they-nows: Where they are now: 2025 White Sox edition - Sox Machine

There are intra-team scrimmages going on. Weird how we're only seeing a HR or so, and not more. Can't wait for games to start.

The PTBNL from the Angels in a deal that sent Gordon Beckham west in 2014

Disheartening.

I like the misuse of the apostrophe for pluralizing mantra. That's a pure red flag for me, Makes me very concerned about who's behind the account. Russian bots? Has a very definite "while you post about the White Sox, your wife flirts with Twin fans on TikTok" feel to it.

Joking.

Tirso Ornelas is probably a get. Seems like a similar profile as Yanquiel Fernandez, Jack Suwinski, and Jarrod Kelenic, really.

You sure about that? Was looking for a weird, random cover of Getting Better, and stumbled upon the leaders of the 1960's Uruguayan Rock 'n' Roll Invasion. I love these kind of rabbit holes.

I really struggle to figure out what you're kvetching about. Colson Montgomery is going to be the opening day SS. If he gets injured, or falls off tragically, they have Bergolla, Bonemer and Carlson behind him, and they'll probably draft a SS at #1 this year. Are you expressing anxiety in a non-Sox hot stove string that the White Sox will field a team without a shortstop at some point in the future?

No, you just said that nobody predicted Colson would stick at SS. That would include you, right?

Oh, and now Walker Buehler. Am I watching Citizen Kane, where Preller signs away the entire opposing team? LOL. Everybody with a brain knew Colson could play SS. You predicted he couldn't. Deal with it. [sunglasses dropping emoji]

Oh, I'm fine. The Padres put themselves right in the World Series convo with Ty France, Nick Castellanos, German Marquez, and Griffin Canning. I guess they're ready to take on the Dodgers. LOL. Oh, Johnny Jeter, Nate Colbert, Tom Phoebus.

And all of the consternation in the last 2-3 years is Muncy would have no effect on whether the Dodgers decide to pursue Mune or not. Oh, and Wes Parker, Von Joshua and Billy Grabarkewitz.

My mother once mispronounced a word over and over when I was seven. I've had trust issues ever since. I suppose that's why I've been in and out of jail my whole life.

I would think that if this team is playing anything close to .500 ball by the end of July, they keep all the 2-year guys so they're not trying to build half a team again in a month during March of 2027.

Vague Ennio Morricone soundtrack music. It's probably AI generated.

The first coach to not yell out his exact days til retirement when he showed up for work?

Ramos seems like the kind of guy they should be keeping. Maybe they should court a few pitching injuries so they can open up the 40-man via the 60-day IL. Oh well, Last In, First Out, I guess.

Everybody wants Bryan Ramos. Nobody wants Bryan Ramos.

No, not having an international pipeline, then taking first basemen, 2nd basemen, catchers with known flaws and relief pitchers with the first round pick for years is what got us Jacob Gonzalez.

Dude, there's literally another whole thread about bidets.
