3/8/2026 - Sox v. Royals; 3:05 - Cameron v. Hicks
Lets hope so. Unbelievable that people continually cry about the bad records and say its so embarassing then double talk saying dont waste money on vets to incrementally improve the team while working in the rookies. These vets help the young players. Every rebuild does this.No team in any sport relies solely on young players. It helps the young players to know they will get the chances to play while they also see win totals increase year to year . That idiotic strategy would have precluded the 2 year contract to Murakami. There's also no way to acquire young players if you have nothing but young players unless all you do is sign guys like Kelenic. People really need to think before they talk about such idiotic notions. The drafts the last few years are way better than most drafts in the Hahn Williams years. Then they built the infrastructure to help them. The $85M payroll isnt low enough for people yet I guess. Jerry is that you ?

Revisionist historians still pushing the negative agenda lies. They got a decent prospect possibly just finding his MLB stroke and a pitcher. Why send money in the Robert trade ? Didnt they make 3 more moves after that $22M was taken off the books and they quickly spent it. Austin Hayes was one of the moves. Serathony Dominquez the other and the Hicks /Sandlin move. Between Acuna, Hays,Dominquez, Hicks and Sandlin, that's 2 future pieces and 4 of the 5 for immediate help if Acuna and Hicks can stick around long enough to make contributions to a better than 2025 team. Helped the OF offensively & defensively while the bullpen was also significantly upgraded as well. Convenient for those historians to forget the repurposing of that Robert salary which Getz said they'd do. He kept his word.

Very solid. 25 of 33 pitches were strikes. Hopefully he'll keep settling in and make it a tough decision to keep him or not. If you know you arent going to make the playoffs picking up free pitching talent that automatically slots into your top 15 or so prospects might be a risk worth taking with him and Alberto. Its like getting 2 decent pitching prospects in a trade but you have to burn the 1st service year right away.

White Sox win draft lottery, will pick #1 in 2026
My mothers side of the family had Polish from my granny but the last name ended with 'wicz I think. I see my cousins on FB using the last name every so often like 4 syllables starts with P like Paterkawicz or some such.
