Peters has actually been amazing . Yesterday he posted his 5th multi-hit game in a row. With this heater he's on he's now up to 119 wRC+, 1.5 WAR. He's a positive offensive and defensive player . 1.5 WAR fWAR and 1.6 bWAR . How cool is it that Peters could play a full season and be close to a 4 WAR guy if he continues being this consistently good. At this point you just take him for granted. Not bad at all for a 26 yr old rookie who doesn't depend on power to be a very good baseball player and was a part of the preseason narrative of the worst OF in baseball history. He doesn't face LHP at all and when he has he doesn't have any hits. He had a great May and his War has been skyrocketing. If the Sox kept Robert and he had a 1.5 fWAR at this point of the season we would be saying He's Back to 2023 form ! Despite the arguments over the Robert trade the Sox have also benefited if only for the opportunity for Peters. And he still has 2 options. He's a bargain when Robert was an anchor.

If you're talking about Kay. He's been solid . Not sure how much value you're going to get with the buying team that could possibly get 2.5 more years for him. The question is would a serious contender overpay? Probably not unless they are in dire need of a 3 or 4 so is that really a strong contender ? With the Sox trying to incorporate a couple of young arms in the rotation and also waiting waiting waiting for Hagen Smith, Tanner McDougal , Noah Schultz, Shane Smith and even David Sandlin to find some consistency in performance and health that's a whole 5 man rotation that all have a way to go before anyone can deem any of them as a for sure part of a future rotation. That's without counting Oppor or someone like Thorpe who are even father away since Oppor was still in AA when he had his struggles . We still don't know if Thorpe can ever be an MLB pitcher because he's had quite the injury history ever since his debut with the Sox back in 2024. That makes Kay more important to the Sox. I'd be surprised to see the Sox trade any starting pitching depth.

Got a good month + before you even should be thinking about it. And it's all without Murakami. They're not buying . This team still has a lot of roster churn in it .They've had too many injuries and the young arms have not progressed as hoped. Love the progress but no reason whatsoever to sell off your minor leaguers unless it's for other minor leaguers. They might sell off Dominquez , Hays if they can or even Grichuk or Kay but not many starting pitchers to call up left. Kay signed 2 years with a $10M 2028 option . He might be worth keeping.

Pretty sure they tried. He was having none of it.

He seems to have no qualms with using starters longer than they should be in. He famously hung Kay out to dry in April during a poor start.

2 batters too late taking him out . Counting the last start that's like 6 times through the order.

B2Benitendi !!

Var-Gasssss !! Right back in it. 1st HR to a RH batter all season from Ryan

Ex Sox Gray Grannie. 2nd grannie of the year.

He makes a lot of competitive pitches and lives on the edges inside, outside, up top and hits them often. Very good command.

Pope Power & the Magic of Hogwarts , Wingardium Leviosa, Amen That spell makes the White Sox rise in the standings . And she'll like it too.

Against the same team too. It can't get any easier than it was the 1st time facing the same team only 5 days apart but now on the road. Just keep your team mates in the game within striking distance. Ryan is tough.

Reached a high water mark for the last 3 days in a row going from 3 to 5 games over .500 by beating up on our own division at home in front of big crowds and flipping the run differential into positive territory. I'd call that a very very productive home stand ! Unfortunately it also included the Mune injury . But we're going to get a good look at Jacob Gonzalez ahead of schedule so there could be some mystery universal forces at work here where you have to yin and yang your way to an even bigger upside. Sacrifice now for the greater good later. That greater good could include Murakami, Teel, Braden Montgomery and Jacob Gonzalez and maybe a revitalized Schultz. I know it's asking a lot of the universe but it might be fate.

Imagine high blood pressure or giving yourself an ulcer or heart attack over having a bad couple months of a baseball season. Smoke a doob bro.

And I'll probably keep repeating this until I'm blue in the face but not only did Getz have to rebuild the team on the field he had to rebuild the whole foundation and front office of the organization which was a way bigger job than the rebuild that broke so many fans ,without any real monetary help from JR. JR is not the JR he was during the Hahn and KW era. He's in sell mode.He's preparing the team for his sons to inherit it and then sell them. He is in no way, shape, or form going to give out contracts that require massive financial obligation unless Ishbia agrees to pick up the slack. Despite the rumors that White Sox Dave put out about a little birdie telling him that Ishbia had sometimes to do with the Murakami signing, I doubt that's true. But if it is it's nice to dream that the Sox can resign Mune but ATM I still think there's a greater than 50% chance the Sox won't be able to resign him before he goes to Free Agency. And the only reason I'm responding to your post is because I just said the term "pulling on the same rope" to describe what Getz has created in one of my rants about fans need to start realizing that the last 3 years was a REBUILD. The same fans that supported the losing because it was a rebuild were too BROKEN from the failure of the 1st rebuild that they couldn't get behind the 2nd one because it was too soon . They were still supposed to be contending because Hahn talked about multiple parades and making it last not rebuilding. But they never actually made any effort to rebuild the foundation or culture because they were the foundation and they created the culture. Face facts you were hoodwinked. I have . It sucks, it really does and JR is still the owner and it's a worse version of JR now. But there's zero reasons to keep taking out your mistrust of the organization on the current GM. Sit back, relax and strap it down or STAND UP ! Describing what you have as some kind of PTSD is an insult to Soldiers who fought for our country who actually have it. Stop being so soft and cinch it up and hunker down. We're back on the roller coaster but at least it has stopped it's descent ! Enjoy the ride !

Romo killing LHP or did you mean RHP ? I mean he only has 13 PA against LHP and is officially 1 for 9 which was a HR and 4 walks so his OBP and OPS looks good but its a very small sample with just 1 hit.

Tristan Peters 4 multi-hit games in a row. go-ahead RBI Colson HR Jacob Gonzalez 1st MLB hit Burke 5.1 IP 3H, 1R, 2BB, 6K Chris Murphy shakey with 3 walks in 1.1 inning 0 R Eisert .1 IP, 1 K (W) Hudson 1.1 IP, 1 H , 0R, 1K Tyler Davis .2 IP 0's across the board , (S) 1st one Sox Win ! 2-1 both runs coming in the 7th inning.

Way to go TP !

the 1st of many hits for Jacob !

LFG boys !!

The Rate is a launching pad too. Maybe not to the extend that Charlotte's park is but I hope he feels at home very quickly !

I was doing some research on Japanese good luck objects now that Murakami is on the bench. So I found an article https://japan-avenue.com/blogs/japan/japanese-good-luck-charm?srsltid=AfmBOoqGQ58oWuvpeDZYVIlklkjNZe_CgCVTVGc6xypepwzSU3ZgoCa6 After perusing them one finally caught my eye , Inu Hariko, the loyal dog figurine who watches over the family. Murakami's good buddy Vargas often brings barking into the dugout and clubhouse and the Sox also promote Dog Days. They are cute like a lot of anime stuff is cute. Would be cool to see a few of them hanging in the dugout or clubhouse. Let's go Boyer you need more than bidets to make Muni feel at home here in Chicago. Also for the cat lovers among us there is Maneki Neko, also a cute anime looking figurine.

Plus 10D hit a 2B and HR yesterday so maybe it carries over while he's feeling good.

How very kind of you . Gracias amigo. I took my creative writing classes long ago very seriously.😉
