WTF kind of racist s%*# was that? I wasn’t sure I heard what I heard. Did you hear the awkward nervous laugh from Beckham? Imagine if Beckham said “white don’t crack” about a white player/manager. Crazy…

That’s all fine and dandy, and I’m sure the Sox could offer Mune $175 million like Ramirez got, but that may just be half of what he can demand.

Exactly. And why would Murakami even consider an extension at this point? He is 1.5 years away from an absolutely massive generational wealth contract. He will get to choose where he wants to play, along with the highest offers. Not some piddly 2-3 year hometown discount extension. And perhaps he wants to play with his buddy in LA? Curious what it would have taken to lock him up for several years from the beginning, rather than the 2 year deal he signed. That was probably the Sox only hope.

I doubt the walks decrease and if he is hitting above .240 now with his first taste of MLB pitching, I doubt he doesn’t maintain or improve on that. I think he’s easily going to be a $300+ million dollar player at age 27 with his marketing potential. Imagine Japanese fans getting to watch him and his buddy Ohtani on the same team. If he keeps this up, he has all the leverage in the world.

Did Mune buy a mansion yet? He’s got future checks to cash.

I have a feeling the Rockies will feel stupid for DFA’ing Romo, and Getz will feel lucky that he retained him after also DFA’ing him.

I think Meidroth is, but I don’t think it would be a shock if Antonacci could easily out-OPS Meidroth by .100+ points. I just don’t know anything about his defense at 2B.

So does anyone think LF is Antonacci’s long-term position or do you think he could replace Meidroth as the starter at 2B?

God forbid that could have rubbed off on the White Sox, considering it would have been mentioned what his primary gig was all the time. Jerry is so clueless sometimes.

True, but that sort of PBP dude is few and far between. Stone hates everyone. He likes his dogs more than humans.

I still think it’s funny how the Sox didn’t like Jason Benetti having other gigs but Stone can probably ditch an away series because one of his dogs has the Hershey squirts.

Shocking…

That is actually a decent looking lineup.

I just got a voice in my head of Jim Ross screaming, “Oh mah gawd, it’s the frisbee, THE FRISBEE!!!”

Considering he was basically acting like the Sox were the greatest team ever when they were setting the loss record, I can only assume he will start talking about the team as a WS contender.

Cringey when he talks about the state of White Sox fandom because he crashes the parking lot tailgates before the games. Just don’t get caught eating a Poleesh on air, Schriffen-dawg…

He’ll be the third player they offer over $100 million dollars to (Machado and Wheeler?), with another team ultimately signing him to a larger contract.

If the alternative is playing Derek Hill more, I don’t see the problem. I’m sure Peters will still get playing time.

There’s truly nothing more enjoyable than a @ron883 thread. Dude is playing 4D chess with multiple troll jobs all in one thread. I even see @sin city sox fan lurking, likely impressed by @ron883’s master trolling skills. I am toasting my next Silver Bullet to both of you guys. 🍺 🍻

Agreed. Worth a try. If he performs, he plays. If he sucks, he gets DFA’ed when Pereira is healthy.

Funny how hit or miss he can be. I remember that Getz tried to get Jordan Walker from the Cardinals for Fedde but they turned him down. But the same GM takes back awful Acuna for Robert. Imagine Walker in RF and Pereira in CF right now.

Didn’t Drew Thorpe start out only needing a bone spur to be shaved down and then ended up needing TJ surgery? Seems like this happens with the Sox quite a bit.

He’s the marketing guy that Getz himself said had to help him convince Jerry to spend a $6.5 million posting fee and $38 million on Murakami.

Just keep it at one. Angels bullpen will blow it sooner or later.
