Sox looking at building in South Loop
I always learn something at Sox Talk. When someone mentioned to move the Red Stars into Sox Park I didn't know who they were until I googled them.

I enjoyed the article and will be looking forward to the ceremony with Ron Kittle.

Good or Bad
I am happy the Sox moved on from Kopech and Eloy, soon to be followed by Yoan, happy trails.

Managerial “Search”
I like the Sox young pitching, and the work Bannister has done so far. Let's see the same player development on the position players coming up. Skip Schumaker fits the bill, but he might be waiting for the St. Louis job to open up.

Managerial “Search”
I would add Lou Brown to the manager search list.

19 Bally RSN's going bankrupt, 14 MLB teams potentially affected
I hope they should lose their small market status when it comes to the draft

Sox looking at building in South Loop
The City or State is not going to put out any money besides infrastructure to the Bears new stadium on the lake front or the Sox at the 78, it just will not happen. So, if both teams do end up getting private funding the 78 will happen but the Bears will never get a shovel in the ground with lawsuits from the Friends of the Park. Warren is delusional and should move on and either build at Arlington Hts or sell the land and remodel Soldier Field which has already been floated out there by the previous mayor.

CHSN to be available on antenna in Chicago
If this was already posted I apologize, Chuck will be doing the CHSN White Sox pre and post. No word on Ozzie yet. Chuck's X , sorry can't get link as White Sox pregame and postgame host! The podcast is coming over, too. Looking forward to what’s next and serving Chicago sports fans: the best on the planet.

The trade ideas begin! Robert for Holliday ++
Holiday's minor league stats are just the type of player that the White Sox need. 304/443/486, ops. 928. I love his walk total is almost at his strike out level , 201 walks 207 k's. 20 year old , ehh what the heck pull the trigger on this internet fantasy trade.

Skip Schumaker is my choice.

Fangraphs Article About Managerial Candidates
Thank you, Sir, that changes my opinion of Buck Showalter. I have always got the good vibe/sugar coated stuff about Buck from MLB network and ESPN because he was on the shows as an analyst. I like Keith Law coming out with what he really thinks. I do remember Ozzie taking a few digs at Buck calling him, "Mr. Baseball". But with Ozzie I kind of take with a grain of salt.

Schriffen speaks...
Hehe , how about TLR and Leyland going after Harry and Jimmy Piersall, or Hawk wanting a piece of Burns and Boorstein. I don't think The Commander, Bob Elson ever went toe to toe with a ball player or manager that I know off.

Fire Chris Getz
Does Chris Getz deserve to be fired, yes. Do Sox fans deserve a competent owner, yes. If you tell me Chris Getz should never have been hired as the GM I would agree with you. We are stuck with both of them for now, all I ask is Abe Reinsdorf stays out of the way and lets Getz run the club and make changes as he sees fit. I am not giving Getz a vote of confidence but as a fan it's the only hope I have. In 4-6 years from now when both Jerry and Chris are gone maybe some superstars evolve out of the Scouting changes taking place. In the meantime, as PT Barnum said, "There's a sucker born every minute." That would be me cheering the Sox winning 5 out of 6 the last week of the season.

Troll account on the managerial opening
He better stay out of White Sox business

Dear Sox fans
Dear Sox Fans, Here is my 2025 plan for the future of the Chicago White Sox. Chris Getz drives Jerry to Spring Training with Scriff in the back seat taking route 66. By the time they hit Tulsa Oklahoma jerry can't take it anymore and gets out of the car. Reinsdorf sells the team on the spot and Uber's back to Chicago.

Sox trying to fix Vargas
Ramos isn't lighting the league on fire but between him and Vargus I would rather have Ramos getting the ab's

Dear Sox fans
Hang in there, lots of pissed off Sox fans venting their frustrations. I am already looking forward to the Hot Stove League, watching Future Sox, Locked on White Sox, and Vinny Dubber on YouTube videos. Plus we have a ton of great posters right here on Soxtalk. KC was 56-106 last year and tomorrow they will be in Baltimore playing the Orioles. (of course they went 12-1 against our Sox to propel themselves into the playoffs )

Fangraphs Article About Managerial Candidates
If Getz stays in the role of GM, I want him to make the selection without Tony & Jerry butting in. Buck Showalter or Terry Francona are older and have health issues but if they could come in and be a bridge to a guy like Grady Sizemore or Santos/Leyland I would be onboard. Grady has a lot of potential he just needs experience.

By the Numbers...
Good work Lip. The one pitcher on your list that has me wondering if he could be an asset next year is Soroka. He has pitched pretty good out of the pen in September. I know it's a very small sample size but he might be of interest.

Stone not sure he will be back in 25, season "wearing on him"
