WhiteSox2023

I always pass on them to let others enjoy Jerry’s stellar product. My good deed as a Sox fan. Let others enjoy the Soxperience!

My company and family and friends give away so many Sox tickets, I can’t imagine ever paying for a multi-game plan.

And SlamBall. They save only the best of the best for SlamBall commentating.

Yeah, I’ll pass… for about the next 5 years.

Unfortunately, it’s getting pretty obvious that the Sox are only interested in dumping salary, not taking any on. I doubt Jerry would approve the wise move you suggest that other smart teams have done before when their payroll is so low and rebuilding is the current strategy.

Getz would be a moron to accept such a trade over prospects for Robert. Let’s hope he isn’t that clueless.

Robert for Outman would be the worst trade in Getz’s career by far.

Yep, I’m just waiting for his rationale. There could be an argument to acquire Lux to flip him but I doubt it would be worth it overall considering what Getz would have to give up for him in the first place.

If he had 4-5 years of control left, sure, let’s go after him.

He actually was quite good in the second half, but I still don’t understand what he does for the White Sox in their more than likely next two losing seasons in 2025 and 2026 before he becomes a free agent. 210 PA .304 / .391 / .508 / .899 7 HR 26 RBI

Even if this is true, why would acquiring Lux with only two years of control remaining make any sense for the White Sox in their current state?

It’s a minor league deal. He’s likely going cost the Rays nothing. If he sucks, they’ll just cut him.

“She'll like it too.”

Minor league deal. Talk about a fall.

Yeah, the pitcher is shortening his pitch to the catcher by a couple inches due to his increased velocity. Definitely a Hawkism.

I like the Wilson signing. Seems like he should’ve gotten paid $3 million from someone. Lipcius has some good minor league numbers. Not a fan of trading anything of value for a guy like Booser, but if he is eventually flipped for a better prospect, so be it. Initially, I thought the Sox would spend a little money and that a Quintana signing would be probably. But it doesn’t seem that way now. The highlight of the offseason will probably be a Ben Rice trade but hopefully they don’t pay too much for him.

I bet you made this same post during the last rebuild. 🤣

How much value can Rice have? Good minor league numbers, but struggled in his first taste of the majors and turning 26 in a month. I believe he was ranked as high as 12th in the Yankees system last summer. But Michael Busch was a top 5 prospect in the Dodgers farm system and also a top 100 prospect in the MLB for several years. Rice shouldn’t have the same price as Busch did. I wouldn’t expect the Sox to have to give up much for a guy like Rice. If they give up a similar return as the Cubs did for Busch, that would be a disappointing trade.

It’s pretty crazy. Getz is slashing payroll to Athletics numbers from last year.

That McGuffey apparently didn’t know who Grant Taylor was because he didn’t correct him.

This is quite frankly some of the best and most hilarious Twitter bullshit out there.

And makes very little sense for this team in its current state. Boston acquired Crochet from the White Sox for prospects but then sends this older reliever to the White Sox for a prospect? If Boston thought Booser would be a reliable reliever for their team that is actually trying to compete in 2025, why didn’t they just keep him in their bullpen?

Years of failure under the same owner. This isn’t at all difficult to understand.

Brandon Marsh in CF. He was worth 3 WAR last year. I think Robert to the Phillies is dead.

They were specifically talking about current Sox minor league pitchers that could potentially be in the 2027 Sox rotation. The discussion starts at around 31:20 in the video and Ely mentions “Logan” Taylor at 34:25.
