WhiteSox2023

This looks like a fake foodie account with a more believable name.

Yes, yes you are. Cuz the White Sox are in Amurica, not China.

Getz needs to go hard after Matt Shaw if the Cubs are seriously looking to sign Bregman again and move Shaw to a utility role. https://www.nytimes.com/athletic/6862841/2025/12/04/cubs-alex-bregman-free-agent-interest/?source=emp_shared_article

It’s nice that BR came through in football since the basketball team unfortunately lost to DePaul Prep in their most recent state championship game.

Thank you! I only started following BR once my older son first started talking to Coach Q (right after he was initially hired) as an 8th grader playing for the Downers Grove Panthers in the Bill George Youth Football League (BGYFL) and then decided to go to BR. Quedenfeld would bring his two toddler kids to almost every DG Panthers game on the weekends to try to recruit the team’s players like Owen Lansu and others. Most of them ended up going to Downers Grove North, but he hooked my son. Since then, my younger son transferred from Downers Grove South to BR this year for his sophomore year and he is way happier there. Coach Q truly did recruit/build this team starting from when most of these kids were freshmen. It took him four years to build a champ. Pretty cool. In his post-game interview, he mentioned building this team from the start of his first year and also stressed that he couldn’t believe any parent would not want to send their kids to a Catholic school like BR. He was really selling it for the administration, almost as if he was told to mention it. 🤣 The cool thing is that I actually went to Fenwick so I got the best of both worlds this year. But I am obviously way prouder about the BR title for my son and his teammates.

This is set to happen in season 25 of “Stranger Things” within The Upside Down world.

Soroka would be a waste of money. He has proven that he can’t stay healthy at all. Dude has been injured almost every year of his career. https://www.foxsports.com/mlb/mike-soroka-player-injuries He was paid $9 million last season which is crazy money for a pitcher whose shoulder needs to be held together with duct tape. If he is willing to accept a minor league deal with a very low base amount of guaranteed money along with incentives based on innings pitched, sure go ahead.

But they are still losing money year after year which is why I thought they are continuing to cut their payroll even lower. @southsider2k5 shared the numbers a month or so ago.

Have the Sox signed any player near that dollar amount (~$30 million) in the last couple offseasons during Getz’s tenure? Especially when they have been trying to cut salary? I wouldn’t be surprised if Kay is their biggest total dollar signing this offseason.

Most of the BR security guards at the school are retired local cops so they have an inside hookup.

Did I miss any? 1.) Former top prospect 2.) Has since lost top prospect status after failing miserably in majors early in career 3.) Plays multiple positions but none proficiently 4.) Has played 2B which is just icing on the cake to Getz 5.) Can’t hit a lick with little to no power.

With Sosa and even Mead around, I highly doubt the Sox are truly that interested in O’Hearn. He will ultimately get overpaid from some team and I doubt it will be from our frugal Sox. And at 32 with such a down and more recently up career, I’m not even sure he’d be worth what he ultimately gets paid.

Thanks, all! My son said their team buses got an Oak Lawn police escort down 95th Street when they got close to the school. https://www.instagram.com/reel/DR059p3DAh3/?igsh=ZXg3NHhkaWpxczZq 🤣

Yes, Acuna’s name came up well before last year’s trade deadline I believe.

You may be on to something. Although some people in this Reddit thread seem to think he has sources. I guess he may be no different than some “White Sox insiders”.

He’ll turn 24 on March 12th before the season starts. Still not very old but he is looking like a broken prospect à la Vargas and Mead at this point, and I would avoid him like the plague. Also, to think the Sox could be the team to fix his swing would be foolhardy.

BR State Champs! It’s a 16-0 shutout of St. Rita. BR’s second title in school history and first one since 1981. #69 ❤️

Exactly my point. He looks like a utility guy. He didn’t hit in the minors. I’d rather roll the dice on younger prospects.

This is the second time this Acuna rumor has popped up. Can someone explain to me Getz’s obsession with this no bat scrub? He put up only a .751 OPS in the minors for cripes sake. The only thing he has going for him is youth. He turns 24 in March. There’s a reason he is in every Mets trade rumor and they are probably dying to trade him. I’d rather roll the dice on younger prospect than this guy.

Basically, an exact redo of Fedde, whom they wisely sold high.

Yes, supposedly. So it could just be Pereira in CF and Baldwin in RF instead… at least until Montgomery is called up to bump Baldwin back into a utility role.

Didn’t more people get added/announced as the date got closer last year?

Only thing I can guess is that he struggled as a starter in the minors with the Mets in 2023 and 2024, finally had success as a reliever last year, so they don’t want to mess with him. But I agree with you, he seems like the perfect candidate for a cheap rebuilding team to try as a starter again.
