Soxtalk mourns the passing of our beloved friend Alex (Heads)
Oh no. My heart aches for his family, and those here who knew him well. He was such a wonderful person.

Sox looking at building in South Loop
It'll never happen but I’d be down to finance this turd of an idea so long as Jerry has to sign a clause saying the Sox will be top 5 in payroll for the life of any agreement he has with the state.

Reverse Boycott
I haven’t been to a game in probably five years and haven’t watched a game since 2020. I would absolutely go to this just so Reinsdorf has to squirm for one second in shame.

Reinsdorf Quotes
What a sack of s%*#. It’s interesting contrasting Reinsdorf with the sports I follow these days (German soccer, because 1) lived there and 2) lol Chicago sports is a tire fire). It’s clear that Reinsdorf could give a s%*# about the fans and their connection to the team. There is a very clear difference between “the club belongs to the fans” and “this is an asset I’m trying to maximize the value for.” It’s very clear where Reinsdorf aligns, and we’ll all be better off when he’s dead. Good riddance.

I look forward to being very drunk and watching this. If anyone on the north side wants to swing by the map room tomorrow evening, I’ll buy you a beer.

COVID Thread Part Deux
Wait until you hear about the blood clot risk in birth control pills, you're gonna lose it! There are not trust issues with the mRNA vaccines unless you're someone who conflates freedom and liberty with maximal self interest.

The Grandal will come out tomorrow, you can bet your bottom dollar
Zack Collins is literally the worst defensive catcher in all of baseball. Zavala is fine as a backup, and advanced statistics don’t seem to agree with you.

Classy.

Kris Bryant traded to Giants
Lmao at people getting Big Mad for the FO addressing the team’s biggest glaring need. Kris Bryant ain’t gonna get you through the 8th.

Cesar Hernandez traded to White Sox, Konnor Pilkington to CLE
Fangraphs disagrees. Solid move.

Trade Deadline Thread
Saw that. Bizarre given the game is tied 1-1 and in the 9th.

Adam Frazier to Padres
I've always found fWAR bizarre for 1B, but you can still try and get Hosmer's value by looking at 1) his relative WAR performance or 2) ignoring defensive metrics and focusing on something like wRC+ or wOBA. In both scenarios Hosmer is really, really bad. Given his contract he's arguably one of the worst players in all of baseball.

7/20 Gamethread: Keuchel vs. Ober
Oh, I agree with you. Just trying to rationalize it through the brain of TLR.
