Sox looking at building in South Loop
These are 3 things that I can say with total confidence about Jerry Reinsdorf: 1- Could provide advice on buying a top-notch cigar. 2- Would be the go to guy for recommendations on a Roth IRA conversion. 3- Sox at 78 will happen

Are we being too hard on Grif?
Getz has got this; he can make moves and decisions and probably has a list of candidates to replace Grifol if needed.

Is it too early to wish to start the Getz watch?
in 20 years White Sox owner, Mellody Hobson, will present Chris Getz the John Schuerholz Award, for excellence in the GM role. Melody, " I want to thank Chris for his dedication and hard work and the 7 World Series titles."

Grade the Cease trade
One part of trading Cease that I see San Diego ahead at this time is just how good of a dude Cease is. What a solid teammate Dylan has proved to be.

White Sox showing interest in Michael Lorenzen reports Ken Rosenthal
I am onboard the Lorenzen signing a 2 yr contract. He could start for now and always move to the bullpen.

Grade the Cease trade
A Zavala YES.!!! I also like the young pitching Getz has added in this trade. I believe Getz maximized what he could get for Cease and both teams are satisfied.

Will any team give Trevor Bauer a last shot?
Trevor needs to read Dale Carnegie's book, "How to win friends and influence people." I think it could pay off more than Reinsdorf's public relations speaking course at Trump University.

Will any team give Trevor Bauer a last shot?
I would say no MLB will give Bauer a shot at this time. Could present public sentiment change if more details come out, absolutely but Bauer is still a Richard, that isn't ever going to change.

2 things that are going to happen: - The Sox will have a new stadium at the 78. - The Bears will have a new dome stadium. Now how it happens I can't tell you, but both will get done.

Balmer is a Clipper fan's dream for ownership. The 2 guys I can think of that have more money than they know what to do with are the Mets & Panthers owners. I am not sure how that will all play out in New York and Charlotte, especially Charlotte. I wonder if the next White Sox owner is already negotiating with Jerry behind the scenes. I hope it's George Lucas's wife Mellody Hudson. She is a Southside Sox fan with access to billions of dollars.

Sox select John Schriffen to be TV PbP announcer
I was thinking of some of the old time Sox announcers, Bob Elson, The Commander, Harry Carry, and of course Hawk Harrelson. Then I thought about a Chicago Bear announcer most probably never heard of, Irv Kupcient, he was Jack Brickhouse's sidekick. If you get a chance to look up his history, it is very interesting. My dad and brothers would mimic Irv and I always would crack up. As a kid I never knew how big a deal Kupcient was, but his column was huge in the entertainment industry. Irv played college football and then when on to referee in the NFL. He went on to work for the Sun Times and wrote a celebrity and political gossip column. Long before internet keyboard warriors and TikTok /YouTube influencers Irv was the guy. Every movie star and music celebrity would have a sit down with Irv at a night club / restaurant/ or local studio when they came into Chicago for a premiere. He really was a big deal back in the day because people got all their information from newspapers. On a sad note, his daughter moved to Los Angeles to pursue an acting career in tv/movies and was murdered.

2024 Attendance Projection
Regular season: 40,615 X 81 = 3,253,365 + (81 standing room only @ 500 = 40,500) = 3,293,865 This is without factoring in the White Sox home field advantage in playoffs and World Series where additional seats are typically added.
