This team is bipolar. Jeebus.
-
Maybe Getz thinks he can get another #1 pick.
-
LOL, you can’t make this s%*# up.
-
Yuck.
-
LOL.

🤣
-
Someone hit a freaking homer and end this s%*#.
-
He’s basically Grifol with a better personality.
-
He’s out unfortunately.
-
The 8th inning woes continue.
-
Well, it was fun while it lasted… I think the site just took a brief s%*# on that homer.
-
This is the long-time debate. If you call up a prospect seemingly too early without enough minor league at bats, do you risk “ruining them”?
-
No, but the team runs the show. And this is what sources say, per the Sun-Time article: “Sox officials weren’t as excited about the possibility of offending viewers. Fans shouldn’t expect to hear the nickname again.“
-
And Schriffen is stupid. Run it by your team management. Do you speak for all Japanese people? Didn’t think so.
-
You should look up his WBC stats again on Baseball Reference. Also, it was only 23 plate appearances. That’s less than the usual ST at bats and shouldn’t dictate anything. https://www.baseball-reference.com/register/player.fcgi?id=antona000sam

Agreed. That’s why I question this entire thread, outside of common sense reasons why it wouldn’t make sense (e.g., this team is going to lose 100+ games).
-
It’s usually 16-19 days into the season for the purpose of service time manipulation.
-
Yep, the A’s have multiple contracts around the total value of Benintendi’s. It truly does make the Sox look even worse.
-
Add this latest Griffin contract to this list below and the A’s and White Sox look even more pathetic. This article was from 12/25/2025. MLB Trade RumorsLargest Contract In Franchise History For Each MLB Team30 franchise-record MLB contracts, ranging from $67-765 million.

Seems like it, unless I am missing something as well.

I did say “potentially” racist. People interpret things differently. In my opinion, I would agree this is probably more stereotypical. Still surprised Schriffen didn’t run this by anyone in Sox management before saying it on air.
-
@ron883’s question has been answered. The nickname won’t stick, and likely neither will Schriffen.
-
Man, Schriffen is clueless. One would think a biracial dude would be sensitive to potentially racist comments/nicknames. He didn’t run his nickname idea by anyone in Sox HR/Marketing first? Just because Murakami is okay with it, that isn’t the end of the approvals. There are also Japanese fans watching the broadcast. It looks like @Y2Jimmy0 was right and the Schriffen-dawg is on the way out.
-
Yeah, but he gets 25 more years.
