Robert Thread: Sox talking to Reds, Mets
Getz is losing what little leverage he had. As it stands, we’re probably trading Robert just to save Jerry a little money. From a fan standpoint, I am pulling the plug on my Robert trade endorsement which was tepid anyway. Barring some unforeseen crazed GM that blows Getz away with a top prospect Revisit this idea at the deadline if Robert raised his value

They’re not making the move if they know Robert is coming

It’s a move you quickly make when trade talks for Robert fall through at least

White Sox win draft lottery, will pick #1 in 2026
I’m sure there may have been outliers who had questions, were more comfortable trading down. The trick is to not be a sheep, and be the exceptional GM, not “the entire NFL”

Unlike Ryan Poles, who only scouted one quarterback. But I digress

The next Big Red Machine, speaking of the Reds. Under construction. Getz is now a genius, life comes at you fast.

Robert Thread: Sox talking to Reds, Mets
I definitely appreciate the idea of crossing off worries over 2026. Yet OTOH, there isn’t much difference in potential good outcomes whichever path is chosen with regards to Robert. Keeping Robert until the deadline on the off chance he rehabbed some trade value is as reasonable choice as any. And as a bonus, it would be a lot more fun to watch this lineup with Robert bracketed by real left handed threats. For potential entertainment value alone without very much downside to worry over, the option of keeping Robert around for awhile grows on me.

White Sox acquire OF Tristan Peters from TB for PTBNL/$
Stopgap moves are actually encouraging if you’re looking for a vote of confidence in him. I ain’t mad.

Sox hire Carlos Rodriguez for Assistant GM role
That can’t be the basic rules. But it is a quantum theory outcome that by definition does exist.

Getz was a Trojan Horse of basic competence. We were bamboozled. But this should be easy. Just copy Ryan Poles’s plan, but don’t copy any of his work until last year.

Should have gone in house with a guy who already knows the franchise for a quicker turnaround!

Font size intended as a Rorschach test. Either as a post of the absurd, or we are on the way to supplying the majors with surplus talent 🤤

Since the hire of Brian Bannister and the start of the Chris Getz era, the White Sox have sought to become a development juggernaut and have had some early examples of success https://southsideshowdown.com/the-unknown-white-sox-pitching-prospect-primed-for-a-breakout-season-in-2026

I read somewhere that with the new hirings starting with Getz, the Sox intend to be a talent and minor league development titan of some note. That was music.

Unless the Sox are an American League juggernaut already by the time Ishbia takes over and there’s no need, gotta figure he makes a big splash in free agency at least once right away.

If I’m Ishbia, I’m wanting a cleared deck and a clean slate as much as possible before I take over the spending. Maybe we will see modesty as the plan out of deference to the agreement

Carlson can’t play second? Or maybe they just keep Meidroth and trade Carlson.
