The organization thinks we are though

Did Fletcher look as bad as his box score?

I'd imagine Crochet is on the Kopech 2021 plan

Crochet hit triple digits

I'm not for fiscal responsibility, moreso spending public funding on things that actually help the citizens of IL. Like the medical debt erasure proposed.

He's also 20 and I'm sure a decent FO will try to see if he can gain velocity.

It's not about that they traded for Fletcher, it's more who they gave up to get him. Like someone else said, it echoes KW/RH's worst trades. Law had Mena 9th on the Diamondbacks list and Fletcher was ranked 20th in the Sox system. Does that seem like a fair trade to you?

What in the hell is Sheets doing in RF?

I don't want to get into an economics argument. I'm going to peace out.

I understand this sentiment, but I drew the line years ago. I don't want the Bears to get any tax breaks or public money either. I'm in my late 30s, the line was drawn for me over a decade ago and every time someone somewhere caves I yell at my tv. The Raiders shouldn't have gotten a dime, and neither should the Marlins or A's or any other team I don't care what sport or what city. Part of owning a sports franchise should be the understanding that if you want a new stadium it's up to you to pay for it. I was pissed when Amazon pulled their shenanigans as well.

No business should ever get a tax break for anything ever. Tax breaks should go to the people who actually need it, not those who don't. Pay your fucking taxes you greedy pricks.

I'm a Sox fan, but I do not want any billionaires getting a dime of public money for stadiums. They can finance them themselves or go pound sand. I'd rather they move than make us pay for it. It's infuriating when companies do it, but its unconscionable when sports owners do it. GRF is still not paid off. No owner should get a dime of public money for a stadium from anyone, anywhere. Pritzker was just talking about eliminating $1B in medical debt for Illinoisians and that is a MUCH better use of that money.

I listened to Lawrence Holmes talk about this and idk what the complaints about his rant are. Nothing he said was wrong.

Lol

I have a feeling we're going to be watching a hell of a lot of 1-2-3 innings this year

Pillar K DeJong groundout Vaughn flyout

Anyone have the scheduled pitchers?

Ya gotta admit though, this is better than winning 85 games and missing out on the playoffs and impact talent in the draft. (obviously a lot depends on them NOT picking busts)

I hate the Sox because of the way they operate. If Jerry would have done this the right way 35 years ago and built Camden Yards on the 78 site, we wouldn't be having this discussion right now. It's his job to fix this. This is his f*** up. I had accepted the way the Sox operate until they told me as a fan that things would be different during the 2016-2017 rebuild. They lied, and betrayed the fans. f*** them. Also there is no organization that has as much contempt for its own fanbase than the White Sox.

Bye Jerry. Don't let the door hit you in the ass on the way out.

How much did the Sox actually cut in payroll this winter? $30M?
