It’s so crazy that some people can’t keep their toxic personalities in check at work and focus on business. That being said, he sure fooled me with his media appearance.

Typical Sox I guess. What’s a matter with this team

God Does Exist
We spent the entire season with the Pope in our back pocket, and ended up somehow doubting God

Fire Chris Getz
Need three legs of the stool. The draft, prospect trades, and the international kids.

How are you feeling about the rebuild overall?

Thank our lucky stars for Miedroth being the entire return for Crochet. Feeling great.- How are you feeling about the rebuild overall?
Do they have what it takes? What do they truly have in Braden Montgomery, Coleson, and the barely closeted Murakami and Vargas? Kind of pivotal.- Don't cry because it's over, smile because it happened
Don’t make me quote Rosie Perez again.- Don't cry because it's over, smile because it happened
No more or less far fetched as an idea that could potentially work than bringing up say….Hagan Smith- Hagen's role
- Hagen's role
Let him open for Castillo starts lol- It's important to remember that Castillo and Doyle are also longer term projects. They weren't just for this season.
That checks out- Tommy Pham is back
When the dugouts empty, he’ll maintain the chaos- Next year's positional starters
Jerry?- Munemania: He has power
I’m not paying this guy mostly just to be a DH, just to find a place to stick Vargas. Everyone trying to stuff 10 pounds of s%*# into a 5 pound bag should stop. Some hard decisions have to be made, and then executed.- And that's a gutsy White Sox winner!!
That’s ok. Thorpe is next. This is why you spend all the money and time with these guys. Now, sink or swim, and don’t stress about tossing them in- It's important to remember that Castillo and Doyle are also longer term projects. They weren't just for this season.
What’s the expression. Don’t confuse activity with progress. Something like that. Sometimes the best moves are the ones you don’t make. There’s another.- And that's a gutsy White Sox winner!!
Probably not. Maybe not. Sometimes you just gotta put the horses out there and let em run however.- 8/28 White Sox @ Twins: Castillo vs Kremer 7:10 PM (And off-day thread)
Reinsdorf is often cheap. But that’s not the problem here. Fans want to sell the farm for ‘26. They are not going to be reasonable.- It's important to remember that Castillo and Doyle are also longer term projects. They weren't just for this season.
Define a “lot harder” though. If you mean trading low on talent, that’s never been a good productive idea despite how often it’s done. Especially in the long run. The Sox weren’t in great position to deal. And they may have lost a trade (so far) sacrificing a body to the fans and media.- It's important to remember that Castillo and Doyle are also longer term projects. They weren't just for this season.
I don’t quite understand why teams dick around trading for guys like Castillo instead of just bringing up arms from the farm. Times like this truly make me wonder if teams do get intimidated by press and fans that are bleeding and pleading for deadline deals.- 8/28 White Sox @ Twins: Castillo vs Kremer 7:10 PM (And off-day thread)
nm- And that's a gutsy White Sox winner!!
Remember when people were like, bring up the guy that can’t throw strikes? No way! Way.- Next year's positional starters
Objectively, the White Sox have few reasons to extend players they already have control over, along with a pipeline of young players behind them. Although Mune is a little bit different case. Mune might get done if he’s on a relative value deal. - How are you feeling about the rebuild overall?
