Flush twice, it's a long way up to Jerry's suite.

At least we will get a great draft pick in the 1st round......... What?!? Wait?!? What?!?

Loosely translated it means "I am sooooooo f'ing over my head in this job I'm just making s%*# up to sound remotely competent. Clearly, I've failed with this quote, I'll do better next time".

Let's hope he passes his physical and the trade goes through

The Sox need to put Cease in bubble wrap and we all need to pray to whatever deity we believe in that he stays healthy and effective through July 31. There will be injuries and lack of performance by some contending teams and a few surprise teams that want to "go for it". Getz set his price and evidently didn't budge. That's fine for this cycle, but if we don't deal Cease by July 31, 2024 then he becomes a 1 year rental and the price goes way down.

Failing to trade everyone except Robert is malpractice. This team will lose 100+ next year with or without Cease. Get max value now.

I'm so sick of listening to JR and Getz talk about the talent on the team. We finished with 101 losses! Everyone except Robert and (maybe) Cease should be moved if we can get any value at all. And to them saying "we're just a couple players away from competing for the Central division", just stop it. The only 2 players we could add that would make us competitive are Ruth and Gehrig!

JR will never hire Ng and appear to be bowing to pressure..... or common sense. Getz isn't qualified to be Assistant GM let alone the GM AND VP of Baseball Ops. He led arguably the worst minor league system (by W/L record and lack of development) in baseball. That gets you PROMOTED in Jerryland. Getz got this job for 2 reasons...... he'll work cheap and do EXACTLY as Jerry commands.

Can't wait for SoxFest 2024!!!

Talk about utter dysfunction. The team loses 101 games and the only change will be to demote the bullpen coach. Everyone else was part of the Grifol idiocy, a pipeline to the owner (Boston), or tied to our new pitching guru (Katz). Once again, NOTHING changes in this organization until Jerry no longer owns the team.

Of course I was joking. If JR truly had his way, the broadcasters would be in a studio in Chicago (or better yet their basements) and use the opponents video feed

No radio broadcast today. JR consolidated announcers, did a simulcast, and saved on expenses.

White Sox

As over his head as Grifol is, I think Sosa did that on his own. Not smart on any level. Yeesh.

That last concept always needs to be appended to any allegations that Reinsdorf wants to win, and assumptions that losing makes Reinsdorf miserable. It’s another form of the famous-to-me Cigar Aficionado quote about Reinsdorf’s m.o. from 1995: “Throughout the fall and winter, he was still driven by the dream: to create a World Series winner in a business climate that made sense to him.” https://blogs.fangraphs.com/the-white-sox-are-getting-a-facelift-they-need-a-new-head/ Being in the AL Central is really a curse for us. Jerry (rightly) believes we can compete for division championships and playoffs every year by doing things exactly the way he has for 40+ years. If we were in the AL East, we'd be in last place every year and be eliminated from the playoffs by Labor Day. That would be enough for Jerry to "consider" changing his approach. Now, he can keep trying to win "his way" with sycophants throughout the organization and pocketing tens of millions from international and gambling deals before we ever break Spring Training camp.
