Of course it's fluff. But they're saying it, which leads me to think they believe a little of it, and they're going to give him some run at AAA before anybody decides he's cooked. I've given up the ghost on any magical "fix" for Kelenic. Now LaMont Wade, on the other hand...

At any rate, he may need a few months of PAs just to see if any tweaks are taking and working. In various interviews, Sox figures keep saying he may not have been handled well at previous stops.

The living truth

Delusional cult-member. Dear leader Chris Getz made me turn my back on my family and start to like White Sox home runs.

Doesn't Ish get the prerogative to purchase after 2029? I could see him buying, allowing JR to stay on as a part of the ownership group until passing, just in case they win another in JR's lifetime.

I would expect him to build upon that .769 OPS he put up from 4/23 onward. Maybe he's the fallback 1B if/when Murakami walks after 2027.

I hear from the "Garcia Room" that Starling Marte and the Kansas City Royals have been discussing a possible deal. Let's see what the next chapter of this saga will be on "Room Network."

From the Merkin newsletter (the price of subscription is an email address and thus, spam hell, so, here's a chunk) MERKIN’S MUSINGS • Munetaka Murakami made an immediate impact during his two-week introduction with the White Sox before leaving to join Team Japan in the World Baseball Classic this week. Shingo Takatsu, Tadahito Iguchi, Kaz Matsui and Daisuke Matsuzaka stopped by the White Sox camp at various times over those two weeks to watch the first baseman. • Brooks Baldwin can hit. I realize it’s Cactus League action, but it’s worth a reminder after what he did at the end of the 2025 season. • Everson Pereira is progressing through his right oblique soreness but has yet to play in a Cactus League game. There’s plenty of time for him to get into action, but as his absence goes longer, another Opening Day roster spot could open. • There’s nothing but appreciation for all the fans who have introduced themselves to me on the Camelback Ranch backfields and at the various Cactus League ballparks. I’ve even met a few from the Flossmoor, Ill., area, where I grew up. Of course, I have nothing but respect for all of those with the ‘Go Blue’ messages of encouragement.

This is probably the deepest dive I've read on how Chris Getz has revamped the organization with an analysis of the various foci. What is Chris Getz's vision for the White Sox? - Sox Machine
