A weak-hitting DH butchering LF who will hopefully be at DH more often than not.

I can admit this. They really don’t. But I also think the guys that they have should get a shot. I realize you would probably disagree, and that’s fine.

Sorry, I’m not tracking every post everyone makes, but I was in this thread reading your responses. And you just did it to me as well. Cutting off quotes is lame. Unless it is due to length like a @caulfield12 post that takes up an entire page of a thread. 🤣

If you cut out that small excerpt from his post; you are completely hiding his entire point. Yes, we all hope Murakami is great. But if he is, let’s be honest, he’s likely playing for another team in two years. Like I said earlier, the timing of Freddie Freeman’s contract is pretty terrible considering the Dodgers sign everyone at any cost. So do we expect the Sox to win big within the next two seasons? Hopefully Ishbia takes over sooner rather than later.

Exactly. Murakami jerseys will sell well regardless but it’s probably realistically the worst jersey to buy outside of any other vet the Sox sign on a 1-year deal. If he sucks, you won’t want the jersey. If he’s good, you have a cool jersey for two years until he replaces Freddie Freeman. Freeman’s contract just so happens to expire after the 2027 season, right when Murakami becomes a free agent.

Yes, their logo could be a red arrow pointed down.

The Bears are coming to Indiana, Tra La, Tra La!!!! Sorry, had to do it.

In the recent Getz interview, Getz said that signing Murakami to a 5-year deal at this point wasn’t realistic. Kaplan blurted out, “you could just extend him if he’s good!” Really? So you can’t afford to give Murakami a 5-year deal when he’s an unknown quantity but you can afford to extend him in 2 years if he’s breaks out? Yeah… More like they didn’t want to give an unknown a 5-year deal and likely won’t be able to extend him in 2 years if he’s breaks out.

It’s gonna be like the Randy Marsh South Park meme when they finally finish… errr, win.

Apparently someone wants Vargas replaced faster than me. 🤣

Your ruling is death. Six feet under it is…

What owner would actually agree to a sponsor with such a logo?!?

Looks like he was the #3 prospect in the Rockies farm system in 2024 and #6 in 2025. Would be an obvious claim if he could play CF but it looks like he’s a RF. Swingitis and perhaps lack of contact is his issue but his minor league numbers still look pretty good and he has youth on his side. He just turned 23 — New Year’s baby. I propose we make him this year’s Canario and talk about him until Getz finally claims him… or doesn’t, and he goes to play in Japan.

They have been coming for almost 6 years straight? Impressive.

Corrected…

The alternative is that Jerry lives forever and continues on with a payroll at the bottom of the entire MLB. Yeah, I’ll take the unknown.Didn’t Rahimi and some other idiot say that the Cubs shouldn’t trade Joc Pederson (on a 1-year deal) for Cease in 2021 and also said the Cubs would say no to that trade offer?Considering the White Sox payroll has decreased from its peak of $193 million in 2022 to currently $77 million (after the signing of Seranthony Dominguez) over the past 4 seasons, @Kyyle23 is spot on. Do you really need to even make a comparison to other teams in the AL Central to realize that this is true? This article and excerpt below is from last week, prior to the Dominguez signing. You don’t decrease your team payroll from its peak to one of the lowest in baseball over 4 years by signing mostly higher tier free agents in that time span.This dude is making the rounds… Yankees designated INF/OF Marco Luciano for assignment. Luciano was on the Yankees for four days. Since the end of the season, Luciano has been on the Giants, Pirates, Orioles, and Yankees. It remains to be seen where the former top prospect ends up, but he’s just 24 years old, so there may still be a chance for him to establish himself as an MLB regular.If you as the wrong question, Boyer will put you on his naughty list and mean mug you the rest of the night.
