Falstaff

A -Signing and flipping Fedde & Pham, moving on from Kopech - (2) - 19-year-old solid bats, (Perez was in future games), 24-year-old solid bat and in the lineup tonight C- signing and flipping DeJong - 22 right-handed reliever C - trading Banks - 19-year-old middle infielder, who knows B- moving on from Eloy - a bag of balls would have been enough, 26-year-old left reliever A - Not trading Crochet- can be extended or traded in the spring with 29 teams interested A - Not trading Robert - can be a long-term CF

Back in the day the Kansas City Athletics got labeled as being the Yankees farm system.

TLR will get the Sox all squared away and then become a consultant for CrowdStrike.

That would be awesome, get him in the lineup and let him play.

I did the same thing, I actually thought hey maybe the Sox might win a game I also had the same thoughts this morning about how this franchise survives in Chicago. I read White Sox Dave at Barstool say that JR wants to cut $30 million from the payroll because of loss of revenues. It's sad but like you point out new ownership could be the answer, it could also be the end if they move the club. After 5:00 o'clock today I hope the Sox are giving playing time to youngsters. For Pete's sake release the slugs in the bullpen if they can't trade them.

Edman hasn't played a game all year @ $7 million, he is owed $9.5 million in 2025 and then is a free agent.

Are Albertus and Perez high ranking prospects?

Head scratcher ? is this a salary dump?

If Pedro was replaced by Siri or Alexa the Sox would have a strategic advantage.

He should start by giving a partial refund to any current season ticket that even sniffs about renewing for 2025. Sox season ticket holders, near extinction, will be mentioned in the same articles for the Great Lakes Piping Plovers.

JR should start doing the exact opposite of what he thinks is a good idea for the White Sox.

Let's see what happens, Bannister is making a mark on the pitching side so it's a start.

Looks like a young power bat, something I the Sox desperately need. One of the better trades the Cubs ever made was for a 25-year-old 3rd baseman. Aramis Ramirez from Pittsburgh for Bobby Hill, Ramirez was a stud and a Sox killer unfortunately.

Lopez is HoF and Richard's should be in the HoF, both excellent baseball minds. I am curious if Getz want's AJ or is it Jerry's idea.

I almost lost my coffee laughing on that one.

I love AJ but I would like to see Sergio Santos down in Birmingham be given a chance.

Don't stop posting, it is nice to read a plan to get back in the hunt. It's bad right now, really bad, but the Sox will get back to kicking ass and taking names.

Elias will never have to worry about getting a Trader Mike or Mississippi River Boat Gambler moniker. He still has his Pokemon cards and is convinced he is sitting on a gold mine.

Down the road Crochet not getting traded at the trading deadline might turn out to to be the best thing that happened.

I can't help but think of the Munchkins when Benintendi name comes up. "We represent the Lollipop Guild The Lollipop Guild, the Lollipop Guild And in the name of the Lollipop Guild We wish to welcome you to White Sox Land"

JR is problematic

Would Crochet take security from the Sox, let's say next 4 years $60 million? The thought of : Crochet, Smith , Schultz, Thorpe , Cannon , and a group of young strong arm starters converted to the pen is appealing. I know, I know they don't have the positional players and bats , work on it.

The last hitting guru the was the real deal that I can think of was Charlie Manuel. I hope the Sox can hold onto Bannister.

Did anyone break the news to Pedro that he will not be able to use Crochet in the playoffs this year?
