Hearing this disappoints me because of the children.

Eloy to Baltimore
With Eloy getting traded James Kruk's workload just decreased 25%. Going forward the in house " Little Rascal " scooters are strictly for JR and the rest of the Board of Directors. Chris Getz, " The trade allowed us to allocate more funds for acquiring players instead of updating our batteries in our scooter fleet."

Fire Pedro Grifol
I agree The White Sox have my heart and soul, but my money, that's different, that they have to earn.

Fire Pedro Grifol
This season wipes out any good will for the 2005 WS.

Moncada and Clevinger "returned from rehab assignments"
With a $5 million buy out for the 2025 season Moncada will have made over $71 million in his career. He checked out a while back with money in the bank. I don't see him having any hunger or drive to be competitive going further. He had one good season in 2019, + defender, and a great guy is about all I can say. Unfortunately, Yoan is too expensive for the Sox to let him stick around another year and prove he can contribute a full season.

Interim Manager
Montoyo because he has prior experience as an MLB manager.
-
Eloy to Baltimore
Eloy pulled a hammy reaching for a bag of almonds from the flight attendant on the plane to Baltimore, 5-6 weeks rehab needed.

FutureSox: 2024 White Sox Draft Recap
Excellent article, Smith is a stud

The Rest of the Season
Another thing that needs to be addressed is International Scouting. I read James Fox post at X but I can't find it now but he had some excellent points as usual. if JR is going to cry poor, then he needs to bring in young International free agents and develop them.

MLB places the Chicago White Sox in Receivership and names southsider2K5 as Trustee

Crochet NOT TRADED
The obvious: Getz didn't have any leverage dealing Crochet after the extension comments. You have to make the best of the situation moving forward. What I would like to see happen is Getz extends Crochet or trade him in the spring. How about Sox give him 3 years at $65 million with a team option on 2028? Crochet will have his security and a free agent at 30 years old for one more contract.

The Rest of the Season
I agree with just about everything but would add to fire Pedro ASAP. Also bring up some bullpen arms, this is beyond ridiculous. Let's see what Vargas can do playing every day. Sosa would be an All Star with his away splits, see if he can hit at Sox Park

Crochet Trade Updates (Nightengale)
Back in the day the Kansas City Athletics got labeled as being the Yankees farm system.

Crochet Trade Updates (Nightengale)
TLR will get the Sox all squared away and then become a consultant for CrowdStrike.

Fedde/Pham/$ to STL, Kopech to LAD, Miguel Vargas + prospects to Sox
That would be awesome, get him in the lineup and let him play.

july 29 the sox are playing "baseball" against kc
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.

Fedde/Pham/$ to STL, Kopech to LAD, Miguel Vargas + prospects to Sox
Edman hasn't played a game all year @ $7 million, he is owed $9.5 million in 2025 and then is a free agent.

Fedde/Pham/$ to STL, Kopech to LAD, Miguel Vargas + prospects to Sox
Are Albertus and Perez high ranking prospects?

Fedde/Pham/$ to STL, Kopech to LAD, Miguel Vargas + prospects to Sox
Head scratcher ? is this a salary dump?

The streak has reached 21. Raise a glass.
If Pedro was replaced by Siri or Alexa the Sox would have a strategic advantage.

AJ could be a candidate to manage Sox
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.

AJ could be a candidate to manage Sox
JR should start doing the exact opposite of what he thinks is a good idea for the White Sox.
