This guy sounds familiar. I think he may post here. 🤣

I believe the most money the Sox have eaten was when they cut Keuchel early in the 2022 season. They had to pay him around $13.5 million remaining in the final year of his deal and a $1.5 million buyout, so around $15 million in total.

Nah, he’ll be too depressed to post.

It’s going to happen again. Nothing can stop this Cubs train now.

Because Murphy already knows it’s over. No matter what decision he makes, the Cubs are completing the historic comeback.

You could throw Curt Schilling and his bloody sock on the mound for the Brewers. This series is ova.

And this ballgame is ova.

It doesn’t matter now. There’s no stopping the inevitable Cubs comeback.

Cubs gonna put the game away here.

Well, they still have a chance but you can’t win if you can’t hit and score runs.

This is choke city.

And that’s why you don’t give up valuable outs. Murphy is just another old school manager apparently.

Murphy is playing the long game in the 5th inning.

Not sure I bunt there down 3 runs but I guess Ortiz was up.

Frelick did something. Gotta capitalize now.

Time to also start blaming the Brewers offense for not showing up at all.

Yeah, the squeeze was stupid. Forgot about that. But the bunt was bad, too hard.

What did he do wrong? It was a 1 run loss and their starter crapped himself.

To me, that’s the most promising tidbit from this handshake agreement news with Braston Basker. The news was that the Sox are expected to sign Dominican shortstop prospect Basker for a $6 million bonus as early as January 15, 2030. As you mentioned, JR has never agreed with throwing millions at a “kid”. This seems to hint that Ishbia would be paying for this kid if Jerry agrees to sell the team to him in the first year of the agreement (2029).

Yes, I understand. Once again, I don’t care about the money either way. The guarantee I was referring to was expecting a 12 year old to be on the Sox in 10 years.

I was responding specifically to this quote, which sounds like a guarantee to me. ”But it'll probably be a lean few years but the new DR Academy is due to open in 2026 and some of you may be around in 10 years to see Braston Basker play in a White Sox uniform and recall that we 1st heard of him in 2025 . That's already a future $6M spent out of Isbias 2030 pocket !”

I gave him a D. Smith and Vasil raised him up from an F. Everything else was pretty bad and Colson Montgomery and Lenyn Sosa were Getz holdovers.

Of course it’s a strategy that should be employed by the Sox. My post didn’t criticize the Sox front office over the signing. My point was that it’s difficult enough to project sure-fire major leaguers out of the MLB Draft even in early rounds, much less a 12-year old international kid.

And then predicting that a 12-year old will be a sure-fire major leaguer in 10 years. Wow.
