Falstaff

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?

Congrats to Dylan, good dude, damn good pitcher.

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.

Hey, I like that , I hope I am still alive by then

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

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.

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 looks like a seasoned pro on the mound , what a gem.

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.

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

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.

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.

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