Interesting question. Put another way, are the Sox 3 players away from being a favorite? I think the answer is yes! The problem is, those players are Ruth, Gehrig, and Koufax 😳

Thank you!

Sorry if this has been covered, but what teams are not part of the lottery for 2026? I know Colorado is out, but not sure the others.

I wish him luck. Seemed like a decent guy. The Sox f'd up EVERY aspect of his development. Rushed him to Majors to justify the pick. Didn't send him down when he needed a reset. Finally (and worst) put him in the outfield where his lack of instinct and foot speed made him the worst option in MLB at that position. They thought they were drafting Steve Garvey and ended up with Steve Harvey.

Only 3'ish years too late. They forced him into the lineup to justify the draft slot. Then they threw him into the outfield and said "good luck". He should sue the organization for malpractice. He is permanently broken and I doubt our "development staff" can fix him. Really sad.

Showcasing him for the trade deadline deal that will return a bucket of balls.

Thanks

Is Robert hurt? I haven't seen him in the lineup this weekend.

Does anyone know if the pre/post game will be available on mlb tv this season? As an out of towner that's my only way to watch the games so I'm curious. Thanks.

I'm looking for more infamy than just the 120 losses. I want them to set the all time worst winning percentage.

I still worry the Angels will roll over and screw up our march to infamy.

Guys; I think we have this all wrong. Getz is a genius. He's going to keep trotting Sheets, Nicky, Vargas, and Moncada out there the rest of the season. We'll lose >120 games and be the worst of all time. Then.......he makes genius move after genius move in the off season and we ONLY lose 95 games next season. And.....POOF he's Executive of the Year for a 25+ game improvement over this season. He's playing 3D chess and we're mearly playing checkers boys.

I never revel in someone losing their job, but I'm thrilled this happened today. The man was not remotely qualified to be an MLB manager. The Royals passing on him for their job twice told us all we needed to know. On top of that, he really was an unlikeable guy. Major ass kisser to management. Throws his players under the bus. And just a generally surly dude that you couldn't remotely root for. All that said, my expectations for the new manager are in the crapper. Getz using the same "extensive search" BS we heard from Hahn the last two times. Get ready for LaRussa's buddy Skip Shoemaker to be the choice.

Why am I not surprised that Getz got fleeced in this deal? He is totally unqualified as a GM and a proven failure as a minor league developer of talent. We had a guy with 1½ years of control that should have returned a top 100 prospect at a minimum. He packages that guy with Pham and Kopech and gets a AAAA player and 2 really young kids that now get to develop in the worst minor league "system" in baseball. He got taken apart at the Big kids table and thinks he won because JR is happy he reduced payroll. This franchise is utterly doomed until JR draws his last breath. Really happy we didn't waste a year of a REAL GM having to learn the organization. Getz hit the ground running and under JR's direction has turned us into the laughing stock of baseball. Thank you JR, you sanctimonious a$$hole for ruining the team of my youth.

I have no inside information, but I'm guessing both Crochet and Robert are White Sox on July 31. The teams that want them the most don't have the "blow you away" prospects we should get for those two. I think Getz keeps them both and the market opens up for other teams this off season that see themselves close, but not in the hunt this year (e.g. Cubs). The July 30 frenzy might get some teams to up the ante, but the return needs to blow us away or we stand pat on those two.

Stunningly bad AB's with men on base. No plan, no execution. I know there are some horrible busts on this roster, but 10D does not belong on an MLB roster. Jeesh.

It's OK. That just means we're a virtual lock for the #1 draft pick next year. What?!? What do you mean?!? We pick 10th at best!!! These jamolks can't even lose right

Perfect. Make him even more untradable being a Boras client.

Ummm, I don't think he's "playing" dumb.........

The only person that wants Pedro to keep his job is Terry Bevington. "I'm no longer the worst manager in White Sox history!!!"

I was ok punting this season as the beginning of the rebuild. Signing a locker room full of "has beens and never will bes" was fine to let the kids develop in the minors. We are a whole 6 weeks into the season and it's time to bring up the kids?!? Thank God we hired Getz....... it would have taken a whole year for an outsider to learn how f'ed up this organization is and realized he'd have to scrap the whole thing and reboot. Why can't we have nice things???

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
