What you can’t do, is worry about public reaction to whatever you do. Do your due diligence and make the best call. Nobody will give you free credit for taking the wrong guy just because it was an easier sell to the crowd.

The timeline is irrelevant to me. Who is the SS that in 10 years you’re remembering for picking rather than the SS you’re remembered for passing up ignominiously. That’s the relevant question

We’re simply not in the position to sell high on anyone really. I don’t know how you’re a rebuilding team and can be selling low.

If I said to you, Uh oh, CHONGO!….what should you do?

Incidentally, the GOAT walk off team.

Correct. Getz knew this was a rebuilding year going in, and if he’s as good as he looks, he won’t interrupt his schedule to overpay while prospect trading for short term gain in 2026/27. If he had designed to go for it this season, he would have set up the pitching staff way different already before the season started. Not to mention the outfield

^^^^CORRECT!

Thats fine. Call it what you wish.

Hey, I’m totally open to high schoolers after this franchise defaulted to college players forever with little results. You can’t tell a Sox fan that going college just because college is the right thing to do just because college yeah college!

BA makes the cases for 3 guys at 1-1

The first couple few weeks were the first time, if any. Even then, not much was reasonably expected in the first place. Again, the guy on MLB TV that angered a few people for not buying the White Sox wasn’t wrong to be wary of the run differential, and team ERA. Everyone could stand to calm down, and be a little more sober about all this. Its early.

I cringe a little when guys get called up and have a great game 1 or 2. The list of busts that do this is very long. Almost prefer the Robin Ventura path😆

Organizations win championships 🥴

The guy on MLB TV that angered a few of us for not buying the White Sox because of run differential, and ERA was reasonable.

It’s not crazy. A classic dilemma. Also, a classic setup that makes it a doable proposition exists.

We don’t need to be smarter. Jerry is deranged and misguided.

Breaking news!

Uh, no. They don’t. Willl they? Perhaps. Not a top prospect however. And someone explain why 2027 means lets make a bad deal in 2026?

I think yeah, that’s about the smart thinking. My concern is trading a top 3 player, or some 17 year old infinite upside Venezuelan we just signed who goes on to be a star for the Padres. Just stay in between the two worst case scenarios, and I’ll be satisfied
