Fielder Jones

i think jerry had larussa running the org when he was managing, '21, '22... all the free agents we got were LaRussa Guys in one way or another. but the last few years LaRussa's fingerprints have been less on decisionmaking than they were before..so i think the manager hire really is Getz's or at least non-Tony's Our recent moves are so weird , that frankly, they have to be Getz's...they have that mark of innocence to them lol

Margalus has learned Schumaker is out Sox Machine has learned that Skip Schumaker, the former Marlins manager who was considered one of the market’s hottest managerial commodities, is no longer in the running for the White Sox’s vacancy.

Heyman is a known tool used by the agents. Have to look at these tweets of his in that lens Albernaz could be close to finalizing with the Marlins and Heyman is putting it out there that the Sox are interested so as to bring up his contract number with Miami

Yikes heyman also mentions showalter. Michael Scott yelling No gif

the full text: People keep asking me about this, so here are my thoughts: My dad’s dream has always been to own a baseball team. For him, it’s bigger than just business—it’s about proving that Black ownership in baseball is possible. The world is changing, the game is evolving, & ownership needs to reflect the same diversity as the players on the field. Whether in Nashville or Chicago, if he pulls this off, he’d make history as the first Black majority owner in MLB. I don’t see him moving the White Sox—he just experienced the same loss we all did with the A’s leaving Oakland. But that’s well above my pay grade. What I do know is that he has the support, the financial backing, & literal decades of experience. It’s time.

So.. there were two spots. This leaves one- so Schumaker would be Chicago or sit out a year basically? Who else could get fired? Oli Marmol has new paper rn

where did Kiley McDaniel rank him?

Sure there is a chance Jose Rodriguez becomes a 2 WAR guy or better. There's a chance of anything happening with roster constraints and all teams face those constraints. Thats why you get Adam Eatons and Carlos Quentins falling in your lap. We have had those realities benefit us before and hurt us before. All teams struggle with that. The things to be mad about are situations where we misevaluate ourselves under no pressures otherwise (Semien). Or having disagreement on a super young guy (someone really valued Tatis and someone didnt, apparently)

off duty cop from beverly probably sat on his gun

Not sure if meaningful. Adam Jones isnt up early.. he lives in Barcelona

qu'en est-il de danks

Robert Murray says in his pod that Merrifield is not near signing anywhere.

"new cease suitor" teased here https://twitter.com/ByRobertMurray/status/1752429867516514474

Ok. An actual MLB player, and it's fine. Rarity this offseason really.

Maybe not in these proposed ways, but i could see the Orioles trading Santander. they dont like to pay that last big arb year, i'm sure. that's how they operate. Even though theyre win now i can see them weaseling out of it and selling it to the fanbase somehow if it involves a pitcher coming in

i kinda felt the opposite, like the Sox are the ones messaging through all these writers saying no-trade-likely. thats the last threat left-- that we'd take cease into the season.

What's more likely is they just dont choose that prospect of the ones offered. If they were really in love with a bat-only prospect though... then they would take him without a concern for 2024 (which is probably Eloy's last year with the Sox). Prospects should be acquired based on quality instead of fit. Because you will invariably trade some or change what they have to fit around (over time)

Getz has gotten his job on promising people in the right positions. So sure on another team he can pass for a position he cant play. But not here. And the league is not trending that way anyway so if his bat is very good it's not going to be an issue and he's going to take a team's 1b or dh

Mayo's looking like 1b

isnt there a difference with Glasnow though? it was baked in that he would sign an extension (not a Boras guy gives him value in that sense). The terms of the trade were determined by his already existing willingness to complete the extension immediately

Hey guys i came to the site for some Cease talk. am i in the right place? was this thread something else before but mistakenly renamed at some point?
