Cubs honestly is the biggest black eye here. YES, the Sox were supposed to be the contenders, but by mid may their season was clearly over. 3 weeks ago the Cubs had a 92% chance to make the wild card and they burned in historic fashion. It has all been swept under the rug because the Bears are laughably awful. But wow, being a Sox, Bulls, Hawks fan right now is absolutely brutal...outside of the Hawks potentially having a superstar in 3 years.

Imagine if there are 4 to 5 marquee shortstops available and a need for a 2B on the team...Oh wait, that was last offseason and the Sox flubbed it completely while Swanson had a pretty damn solid season and everyone outside of Correa still performed about as expected. Sox could have moved Tim to 2nd last offseason, signed Swanson to SS and then shifted Colson to 3B to plan to replace Yo long term and been set for years. Instead they will bandaid this all, rush Colson and not have an internal 3B option for the next several seasons with a middling Yo Hoping to just stay healthy for 130+ to match that escalating deal.

Remember when they did project Birmingham last year and it raised some eyebrows....I liked that alot more than project Charlotte. What. A. Joke.

Is korey lee this awful? If him and Eder are horrible this retool will set sox back years

At this point... Does it even matter? I may put my fandom on hold until Jerry dies

Outside of not getting a magical season out of him via qualifying offer...sox were correct on not giving him anything of value.
-
What is going on? This division is awful and its replacement level players better than they have been at any point.

pay him his 15M next year just to be an ambassador for the team. people like liam don't come around that often.
Love this. Helps heal this absolute kicked dog feeling ive had for hours. Man. Take the optimism on this board in 2021 to now. Im a broken man and liam was probably my favorite white sox player.

Keith Law actually likes all the moves the Sox have made and actually said Lee may be the very best move. This is...weird.

So they have money for 2 players...but now have 4 mammoth sized pitching holes....still no 2nd baseman, a 3rd baseman with a back problem and no starting catcher ready until 2025. Great plan.

Robert is reaching that 7-8 WAR player before our eyes. It completely changes everything about this teams future if he does.

We all just live in Remy's world! Much needed win and game for that man.

i'm not sure if 29 is considered young
scholtens going for a save, apparently
Oh i totally forgot how long he was in the minors. Well hopefully he can play well for a week here and see what happens
-
Is zach the young infielder that finally sticks??
-
Donezo. Lynn obviously, but hopes on the season probably too. They have to DFA him...but have no depth to speak of, so they are in an awful position. I supported the extension, but man it looks awful now
-
Roberts homerun looked like a check swing. What a beast
-
Glad to see a other win...but man Dylan can't catch a break this season.

This goes back years to Alex Rios constantly criticized for a similar demeanor.
That was my main original point. i wasn't saying blatant racism...it's the undertones of someone not screaming, isn't a "grinder" OR has a laid back style - this board assumes they are lazy, unmotivated, etc, etc. It's so tiresome. Unless you are in this person's mind or the team's trainer, you have no clue what type of competitor they really are and how much they are dealing with. To be clear...I LIKE burger's bat. how could you not? but I also think Moncada, Eloy, Robert and TA all get this bad rap of not wanting to win or improve.

Oh here we go, if you call Moncada a disappointment you must be a racist. Get out of here
Go back and read through all the comments I quoted. Why are these things not said about Burger and his atrocious defense? Instead it's optimism and maybe he will learn. Get real. Moncada is a better fielder and always will be. Burger is a great DH that has no position and never will.

Anyone...and I mean anyone here who thinks Burger should be at 3rd and Moncada at 2nd should lose their fan card. Burger is fine at DH, but why oh why do we hear words like "no motivation" "lack of effort" "not very bright" "doesn't care" "got his money" for the latin player and not the guy so out of shape he wouldn't even be recognized as an athlete outside of like 50,000 Southside fans? It is ridiculous that this type of unspoken bias still exists here and the reality is Moncada DOES and always will have a higher career fWAR and total impact to the team than a slugger without position.

16 mil less to Benintendi + 9 million more for Swanson would have been so much better and just use a bandaid for the outfield. But that also was relying on Colas being a starter...which unfortunately doesn't look the case (and is brutal for the rebuild)
