So that's what Rick Hahn is up to these days huh.

I actually think the Sox are that rare exception that defies the spring training record is meaningless rule. They are just that bad.

The Bash Brothers The Ca$h Brothers

The last rebuild didn’t even yield a DH 💀

They’re totally signing Giddey to a PWill contract aren’t they

“Top dude” is a very underrated way to describe someone.

Hearing from a manager that is not Pedro Grifol. The talent is not there, and the W-L record will be ugly, but I think Venable will end up being a nice palate cleanse from Grifol.

Dude looks younger than most of the Sox outfielders.

Good thing we got Clev before they could.

Maybe not competitive yet, but they should at least be getting interesting by then a la the 2019 sox. At any rate, by 2027 they should have some young players on the MLB roster that they envision as part of the future core. Them missing those major league reps would definitely be a hindrance.

What an annoyingly misleading headline.

Lololol. Anyway, this signing still sucks.

There’s definitely nothing to gain, but also there IS something to lose. Just look at the responses here and on social media (from both Sox fans and at a national level). As an organization, if you want to throw caution to the wind as far as optics are concerned, at least do it for a player that isn’t terrible.

How are those related?

In fairness, though, it's Getz's job to correctly evaluate players, not WhiteSox2023's job. One of the perks of being a fan is that we have the privilege of getting to loudly yell dumb opinions and be wrong about them.

No, I'm saying those aren't the only fans they need to win back. I think you're underestimating the number of more involved fans they are in the process of alienating.

At this rate there might not be much baseball in 2027. It's gonna be a long time before fans show up again. In the meantime, they need every small win they can get, and they need to stop tripping over themselves by doing stupid stuff like this.

Simple!

I don't agree with that at all and I hope for the Sox sake they don't either.

Ah yes, nothing to lose for an organization facing the simple task of earning back the trust of its fan base.

Lol at pretending there’s no additional context here.

No angle exists where this isn’t an absolutely horrendous signing. Not the player angle, not the person angle, not the minority shareholder angle. This organization deserves all of the failure, negativity and mockery that comes its way, but the fans deserve so much better. This sucks.

What a fucking joke.

While ESPN sucks at most of what they do these days, it's sort of a bummer cuz I fully expect MLB to now pivot to some streaming service for these games, thus making them harder to see. No one hates baseball as much as MLB does.

While there are a few that seem to doubt that changes are even taking place, I think the majority are just skeptical as to whether the changes will yield anything positive which, yeah, that's what we're all waiting to see.
