Crochet wants an extension to pitch in the playoffs
Keep Crochet and work on an extension, if Getz can't get one then trade him at 2025 trade deadline. In the meantime, fire Pedro today.

The Rate is going to need a complete power washing , top to bottom , after the season

Chasing Records — 121 losses, modern MLB record
The only thing to look forward to after the trade deadline is call ups. Not sure if was a podcast or on the board here at Soxtalk, but it was mentioned to keep the young players/call ups away from Pedro and any influence he has left. Do we want Pedro molding future White Sox ballplayers? hell no.

Cubs likely to be sellers; Acquire Pearson from Jays
The Cubs bullpen has been a dumpster fire so far this season. They do have good starting pitching and some decent bats when healthy. Madrigal is still on the Cubs. Codi Heuer doesn't show up in the majors or minors for 2024. Craig Kimbrel with the Cubs in 2021 - 0.49 era, whip 0.49 Craig Kimbrel with the Sox in 2021 - 5.09 era, whip 1.217 Things have been a disaster for the Sox since that trade. At the time of the trade, I thought the addition of Kimbrell would put the Sox over the top for the WS.

Thorpe one of top MLB ERA in last month
Thorpe looks like a seasoned pro on the mound , what a gem.

Wilson, Baldwin, Chuckie up, Soroka to IL, Maldy out
Quero gave Chuckie props for all the help down in Charlotte. Robinson is a good dude, who knows , he might get into coaching down the line.

White Sox sign...
My bad on Bonemer, I knew I heard Boras's name though, McLain it is.

Fire Pedro Grifol
The sun rises, the sun sets, the Sox bullpen blows another game. Pedro will not get fired by Jerry but will will serve as Reinsdorf's butler/driver/gofer for the final year of his contract.

White Sox sign...
Hagen Smith should be a fast riser up through the system. I would love to see what they can do with the flamethrower out of USF.

White Sox sign...
I thought I heard last night that Bonemer's agent is Scott Boras.....cha-ching!!

White Sox sign...
Do the Sox have all their draft picks signed now with the exception of Bailey at #20? Let the tape measured bombs from Miller-Green commence.

White Sox Gratitude Thread
You are a chip of the old block! Great story, the best part is your dad is doing better now. The Sox will turn this mess around and you will both be celebrating again.

White Sox Gratitude Thread
Best memories: Taking Dad to the 2003 All Star game. Taking Dad, brothers, and brother-in-law to Game 2 2005 against the Angels. Going to all the 2005 playoffs and WS at the Cell. Most fun season: 1972 Greatest ballplayer memories: Dick Allen's MVP season was the greatest single season I have witnessed by a White Sox or Cub.

MLB Reminds White Sox That Games Televised...
The story you are about to read is true, only the names have been changed to protect the innocent.

7/20 Sox @ Royals 6:10PM
It doesn't make any sense how bad the offense has been. They could run a Spring Training squad out there and put up more runs.

Leasure to IL, Peralta up
The injury might explain his drop off from being pretty solid. When I hear of a shoulder injury for a pitcher I cringe, hopefully Jordan comes back strong.

Crochet wants an extension to pitch in the playoffs
If Getz can't get his "haul" for either Crochet or Robert during the trading deadline then he might get interest from 29 teams in the off season.

Brooks Baldwin called up
Love the love Brooks is getting from his buddies.

Revenue vs Payroll
Revenue was also counted differently between the leagues prior to 1993. AL counted attendance as tickets sold. NL counted people walking through the turnstile's day of the game. IN 1993 MLB went to tickets sold for total attendance, which I thought was fair to the visiting team's cut.

Revenue vs Payroll
As long as they keep the name White Sox, I will be a loyal fan. The Tehran White Sox could be a deal breaker, just saying.

Brooks Baldwin called up
Brooks is playing 2nd base and hitting 8th tonight

Revenue vs Payroll
The Cubs owners have much deeper pockets than Reinsdorf and are reaping in tons of cash from the properties they own around the Wrigley . Reinsy is supposed to be a big time real estate mogul , yeah right, another cheap move of zero investment in the neighborhood. dang , Edward DeBartollo should have been the man
