I think re-visiting clevinger would be a decent idea.

I forgot him. Lot of forgettable names.

Cease, Soroka, Fedde, Kopech, (Shuster, Nastrini, Eder, etc)

This was my favorite sentence in that whole conversation.

This.....and if there's no hope in July sell it all off. But middling through, which they do best, is lose lose.

I feel like the Dodgers are gonna swoop in out of nowhere and grab him.

Cease, Soroka, Fedde, Kopech, (Flexen, Nastrini, Shuster).

Check back every 5 pages. I find it's essentially the same conversation again.

I hate that I'm White Sox fan.

Former Royal who had a terrible 2023. Yay!

Makes sense. My thought is when Korey came up last year he wasn't exactly setting the world on fire in aaa. Momentum and confidence is important for young ballplayers. Perhaps you let him start at aaa and if he runs into a hot streak you give him another chance. People wanted depth, this is depth. Old depth sure better to have some options. 4 million and league minimum for 3 catchers seems fine to me.

Yikes, then release him. Nobody should be losing sleep over Korey Lee being blocked, or losing mlb at bats. Breathe.

Determination? No. But clear as day the kid is not ready and I think throwing him in the fire will only further erode his confidence. Give him abs in the minors and allow him to be around a few seasoned vets in spring training.

Right, which is why, as mentioned, of the players Getz has brought in they all seem to be decent dudes, with good work ethic and desire. Maldo is just one. I'm not saying this is all ideal but I get what he's trying to do and I'm at least curious. I'd be more sold with a new manager, but that may come by June.

I don't think Lee is capable of .150 let alone .190. Everyone here has been complaining about the culture of this team and by all appearances, Maldonado and several other new additions will be great changing the culture moving forward. There seems to be very specific attention being paid to the character and preparation of these incoming players and I'm interested to see how it goes. Look at Maldonado as a player/coach.

Chicago is an improv powerhouse. A lot of young, comedic actors come from here. Good odds that it was a cast members jersey laying around backstage and she just grabbed it and threw it on. Cool nonetheless. I like her. Snl not so much.

Getz has been creative so far. Ill give him that. If he could creatively remove Grifol we'd be set.

We'd piss away a #1 pick anyway. Moving on....

Quiet you, with your common sense.

If these moves are a precursor to getting an mlb ready 2nd baseman for Cease (Busch, Ortiz) it makes a lot of sense. 2024 seems like it'll be a "kids can play" type season with a few vets filling in the holes in a bridge year, and honestly that's probably the best we can hope for in 2024. Either it will be nice to watch some quality defense, even if there's no offense.

My God the attendance was a disaster because of his own dedication to loyalty resulting in the worst front office in the game. How can he possibly be this dumb? Great. More prospects to watch. Can't wait til this rebuild fails and we start over in 2028.

Anything think Stone will just up and retire?

Tony Larussa to the broadcast booth?

I can't imagine Stone will want to stay.
