That's why no one is held accountable. JR certainly cannot hold those accountable who agreed with him. To be clear...if I owned the club I would want to poke my nose into it as well. Most of us would. It takes a certain kind of owner to set the budget and step aside. That's the owner who can hold his GM accountable with a clear conscience.

What did the Cubs give up for Chapman when they needed a closer?

This an excellent way to pose the current situation. Good job!

This is why people are unhappy with the Jon Jay and Alonso acquisitions.

Please have more of these "And That's A White Sox Winner" forums.

Good genes.

Giolito, Kopech and Cease all have TOR potential. Lopez has #2-3 potential IMO. An already establish TOR pitcher and another Lopez type would make us dangerous. The club would be very close to competing for all the marbles. Robert and Madrigal are key to speeding up the process.

No question Abreu is at minimum a border line star. Wish we would just extend him or have someone overpay us for him. I'm good with either. Just don't take some nothing return for him.

The Sox are in the entertainment business. When they fail to entertain someone isn't doing their job.

Lack of accountability has been a problem in White Sox Land.

I feel Kenny has been far more responsible for Sox problems than Rick. Kenny has one of the best jobs in baseball. Nice salary and responsible for absolutely nothing.

Keuchel &Kimbrel are still available and the season is not lost yet.

Someone needs to find the phone #'s of Keuchel & Kimbrel.

When you put it that way,,,,,,Yuck!

Jerry will never work with a GM that wants only oversite from the owner. Hahn is a good soldier and probably works as well as anyone with our 3 headed management group. For Jerry's part... it's hard to hold others accountable when you play a major role in the decisions they make.

We as an organization used to brag of the quality of our training staff. What happened?

I would never give him Danks money. Maybe a third of it.

So much uncertainty would be made clear once we know the FO plan for Robert & Madrigal. If they are ready... the other needs fall in place pretty well. Mainly, a quality starter and a couple bullpen pieces.

With evaluating Avi & Jon side by side for the approximate same money I agree that my gamble would have been on Avi. Neither one would probably be part of the next championship but Avi would for sure have made this season more entertaining. Had a better chance at getting us something at trade deadline as well.

This was the first game I was unable to watch. Moncada and I both chose the right day to take off.

I'll take my chances with a 3 year extension.

You don't think McCann & Collins takes care of catcher? You can even have Zivala for 3rd catcher/DH. The 2nd base and RF question revolves around Madrigal & Robert. Cordell and Sanchez work for me as placeholders for a while. One year deals on the right type guys could work but nothing that would block Madrigal & Robert.

He still looks better playing for 15 million instead of 30.

Now that's what I call a fan.

Won't be back until Spring 2020 at best. Barely enough time to show he has anything. His agent won't be signing any cheap extensions so that probably leaves us trading before the deadline for something modest. Maybe he comes back like a house on fire and we recoup something kind of nice. I hate dealing with Boras as you can never find a fair middle ground with his clients.
