He’s a wacky dude. He was always trying to call out Vince McMahon and the WWE in the past, even though their ratings destroy his for AEW.

Is there a consolation prize for 60-to-70 wins that I am not aware of? Would you really be more excited finishing in that range of wins? If so, why? A losing season is a losing season.

Any fishermen or women out there? I plan on taking my son fishing this Friday. I used to fish Axehead Lake in Park Ridge, IL when I was younger but now I always get skunked when I go there. We will probably check out Skokie Lagoons on Friday. Any good fishing spots that you fishing fans know of? I do use the FishBrain app already. ?

You also have to catch the ball and not muff it before you can “freight train” anywhere. ?

I wonder if Steve would have given up Mena for Fletcher.

It was the Mets. https://www.mlbtraderumors.com/2023/12/erick-fedde-nearing-deal-with-unknown-team.html

Hopefully, Moncada is “earning” that much smaller paycheck on some other team’s IL next year.

There is no option. Fedde is guaranteed $7.5 million next year. Erick Fedde rhp 2 years/$15M (2024-25) 2 years/$15M (2024-25) signed by Chicago White Sox as a free agent 12/5/23 24:$7.5M, 25:$7.5M

I don’t think the full story ever came out, but if he didn’t notify the Sox or “get permission” for a leave of absence, then there could be some justification for Getz dumping him. But I still don’t think the “true story” ever came out officially.

Great post. Who is to say that Getz’s return on these vets will be any better than the guys he basically traded away/dumped for a final total of Dominic Fletcher and cash? Christian Mena Matthew Thompson Jose Rodriguez Both Mena and Thompson have improved this year in other team’s farm systems (go figure ?). I doubt Getz could get back a prospect like these two for any vet on the team not named Fedde or Kopech.

I’ll believe it when I see it. Fedde is their best trade chip and he isn’t even returning a top 100 prospect. Also, if they don’t trade guys like DeJong and Flexen soon, their numbers are going to flatline back to terrible and the Sox won’t get anything for them.

And do you really want to sign a guy to an extension who will be heading into his age 33 season, in the first year of the new deal?

He’s DFA material. Nice of Getz to give him $3 million bucks though.

I’m not buying it. If Flexen was truly a hot name on the trade market like Bob says, he would’ve been traded already.

WestEddy for the win!

Bold prediction: Crochet doesn’t get dealt at the deadline due to lack of interest due to his innings usage. The offseason is another story.

And once they get shut out again, which is likely to happen, you will ghost this thread. And Nicky Lopez sucks no matter how much you try to fluff him. Why you like a terrible, overpaid player so much, no one will ever know. WestEddy taking victory laps on a still awful team.

Weirdest part of the Jordan documentary of all time. This fucking white guy with the Jeri curl.

Shriffen, good god man. He just ejaculated all over The Legend.

Obvious, but what The Legend said was right. Throw it down the freaking middle.

Ramos’s defense seems better than advertised. Strong arm.

I was expecting his slow ass to be thrown out.

Eloy finally hits an absolute meatball.

Maybe he can be a good reliever? He has been terrible as a starter.
