If the Sox can get a HAUL for Fedde in the trade deadline I would move him, otherwise keep him and see how the young guns like Cannon and Thorpe pitch the rest of the season. I would have no problem keeping Fedde, Robert jr, and Crochet and adding bats through free agent & trades in the off season. A couple of 2025 projections: catching: Lee & Quero 2nd base: Sosa, did he turn the corner? in the last 28 game he is hitting .348/.400/ .944

You won't get an argument out of me, Crochet is a thing of beauty. Listening to the podcasts I am hearing Noah Schultz is unhittable at AA, with Bannister's tutelage I can't wait to see him up in Chicago in the next year or two.

I am right there with you , Jose will always be a fav. I remember a few years back Jose was in the dugout and the Sox had a long inning. Abreu had either Yermin or Yomer in a bear hug pinned against the dugout railing. It was hilarious , Abreu kept the bear hug on the whole 1/2 inning , lol

Dec 6, 2016 Chris Sale to Boston for Victor Diaz, Luis Basabe, Kopech, and Moncada. I can still remember Peter Gammons going on and on how good Kopech and Moncada would be.

Something doesn't add up why Lee isn't getting more playing time.

The thought of Bannister overseeing and working with Noah Schultz, Grant Taylor, Iriarte, Ky Bush, Mason Adams, and Nastrini bodes well.

Thorpe was all around impressive, he has the goods

Steve Wilson should help out once he gets back from rehab. He isn't elite but he is at least competent. More pitching call ups please !!!!

credentials: I am just a lifetime fan of the White Sox. I get most of my info from tuned in fans on this site along with a couple other podcasts. I also could be off base on the current White Sox team having a toxic clubhouse. For the 2024 season your mention of this is the first I have heard of it. Not his exact words but Chuck Garfein mentioned on I believe Monday pregame that the Sox clubhouse is great, but the fans want wins to go along with it.

LOL , The Athletic doesn't even have a writer assigned to them, James Fegan , he gone. There is a difference between being in a losing environment and a toxic clubhouse

I have not heard of any locker room issues , Crochet, Nastrini and Cannon were very complimentary of Clevenger and other vets

I voted 25-29 to show an improvement minus Pedro as the skipper. If there was an 20-25 option, I would have selected it.

Trevor Hoffman "power arm" didn't get him in the HoF.

absolutely , add Mason Adams to the call up list. Soroka needs to move on.

Dang west coast game , I'll be out cold by the 2nd -3rd inning. Tuesday night : Thorpe vs Woo, Ronnie Woo Woo would go to town on this game

I am in 100% agreement with you

One of the best change up ever was HoF Trevor Hoffman. He was a very soft tosser but was basically unhittable. Johan Santana was another great pitcher with an unhittable change up, he owned the White Sox. I am pumped up to see the Sox playing the youngsters , let's go !!

Gavin hits a slam, Bello does a Ted Lilly baby rant and tosses his glove on the ground, next we get a "Put it on the board" home run call. ? Winning is fun and fun is winning

Reverend Ike, " Brothers and sisters can I get a, Southside Stand Up! "

18 years old and has the potential to be special.

More South Side Stand Up please.

I love watching Crochet pitch, big mf'er that will leg kick and bring the heat. He's a keeper, don't trade him away.

2024 : I would keep Crochet, Fedde ,and Robert , move Moncada, Jiminez, and Kopech for whatever they can get. Move Benintendi to parking lot attendee before and after the game, with Churro vendor duties during the game. 2025 could see the likes of Iriarte, Adams, Bush, Eder, and Thorpe. 2025-2026 Noah Schultz has the making of an elite top of the line starter. The guy has been unhittable at every level and is only going to get better. Brooks Baldwin has an .429 obp and .363 obp in 3 years of minor league ball, get him up now. Jacob Gonzales, Quero, Colson Montgomery are getting closer to coming up. I want to see what to see what the 2025 season brings, it cannot be worse then the present. The Sox could also trade Crochet & Robert in 20025 if the decide to.

2005 had the magical bullpen season with Cotts, Politte, Vizcaino, Marte, and then 3 closers starting off with Shingo then Hermanson and then Jenks. Politte and Cotts were lights out. 2006 added Thome which was huge but CF became a hole with Anderson not panning out. The 2006 starting pitching and bullpen had a big drop off from 2005. Only the White Sox would have a gong sound when Shingo came in from the bullpen. Shingo was Japanese not Chinese.

I would not doubt that LaRussa is in Jerry's ear about Pat Leyland's possible future in Chicago some day, how soon who knows. Leyland has the bloodlines and at 32 years old has Kanny 33-19.
