Falstaff

For a fan base that is as passionate as we are and has been pushed to our limits this surge is cathartic. I love reading the positive posts but also acknowledge what can be taken as negative as reality. This team, today, with the present core and manager is light years ahead of the team on 8/1/2024.

Does anyone have ideas on the Sox 2026 pitching staff ? Who do you think gets promoted from the minors and who will be coming off the IL list.

Were the Twin fans demanding that Bruxton get traded?

Thoughts and prayers go out to the Tauchman family. I am so glad that the White Sox could accommodate.

In the words of Vinnie Duber " Power to the Peoples"

I think 2 of the guys you want to keep, Benny & Tauchman, probably have no interest from other teams. Benny's contract and Tauchman's age and wheels are in question, so I don't see them going anywhere. Houser will get traded but so far, it's quiet on Robert. I think Getz's game plan is to draft, development, work the scrap heap and flip. Stock up the minors and be a buyer in the next couple of years. Enjoy this team now for what they are doing with the youngster's development. Look at Montgomery's stats since the All-Star break, but also work with Sosa and Vargas on fielding.

I am loving it.

Glad to see Duran out of the AL Central

After the 2023 season the O's looked so promising to go on a run.

I never saw Colson Montgomery coming up, especially after being sent to AZ. I agree that RF most likely will be a stop gap unless a Robert or Howser trade brings someone onboard.

Do you think Braden Montgomery will be ready to start the 2026 with the White Sox?

I would think the Sox give Taylor a shot at starting next year.

Is Frank Drebin behind the plate ?

Sox take the rubber game tomorrow !!

Counsell could use Houser as a spot starter and also out of the pen, it's a no brainer. Matt Karchner 2.0 please

Robert 6'2" 225, built like a Greek God, elite athlete, runs like a deer, howitzer for an arm. Naylor 5'10" 235, fat, slow, jersey covered with mustard stains. Naylor please.

You are reading my mind Naylor as DH

Possible future infield : Teel 1st Meidroth 2nd Carlson SS Montgomery 3rd Q C

I am enjoying all the youngsters and their development. Very likable group, Mike Vasil might be the ringleader on keeping things loose in the clubhouse. To me something changed when Grady took over last year and has continued with Venable.

If you look at Vargas's splits, he is terrible at Sox Park. I am not giving up on him, let's see how the rest of the year plays out.

Assuming some roster spots will be opening up with the Trade deadline who do you think will get called up from the minors?

I love the youngsters.

Fedde had his best career numbers with the Sox, what the heck, bring him back.

No need to panic on the possibility of losing Josh Rojas, he can't be a free agent until 2027....." roll out the barrel, we got the blues on the run."

Can the Sox control Robert for 2026 & 2027 for $ 20 million per year? Your post the other day about the team's payroll and TV income has me thinking of the possibility of keeping Robert this season. A Spring trade could be a different story based on his production & health for the rest of 2025
