So in 10 months according to Kap.Sounds like more speculation to be me but could also be an illness timeline.

How did 2 + 2 not become 4 ? In 2021 Ishbia bought shares and was speculated to own around 5%. He wanted more but in the past after 2021 there was no one selling . So he turned to the Twins. Jerry sensed that he could possibly be losing a buyer for the team when he passed so it's likely he did reach out to him because he knew some minority owners were looking to sell and it was arranged . At some point Ishbia backed out of his commitment to the Twins . If he bought the Twins he would've had to sell his Sox shares. But instead probably because of JR he bought more of the Sox and back out of any negotiations to buy the Twins . It was thought Ishbia could be the Twins new owner as early as the start of this season. So, logically ,you'd think he wants to own a team fairly soon and it would be the White Sox. Whatever else, if anything ,they agreed to do is unknown. It is also unknown if Nightingale has his info correct or is just telling us what JR wants us to hear. Everything is speculation except we can be pretty sure at the end of February, 2025, Ishbia bought more shares. How much more we don't really know.

What would make you think anything is close other than terminal illness ? One thing we know for sure is that the kids sell when he dangles the carrot in the great beyond. We all wish it was sooner.I've speculated on a deal that makes it happen before then but that's very wishful thinking.

Unfortunately you and everyone else have him already owning the team and you have him owning then moving them. Makes for a lively discussion I guess but I'll leave the wild speculation on who owns what percentage of shares to Caulfield . If Greenberg finds out more wake me up. If JR is feeding Nightingale that's even more reason to distrust the info.

Was really hoping he'd get a shot this spring. He's already 26. 52 innings pitched last year including the 35 in AAA . 1.55 ERA , 1.13 WHIP ,55 K. 10 saves in 11 chances at Charlotte including one for finishing off the 7 pitcher combined no-no on Father's Day. He went to Wabash Valley JC . 3rd rd. pick. There was no reason as far as I know not to invite him to ST . Hoping it's not something I don't know like a sore arm. Guy who pitched as well as he did needs to know the big club thinks he important .

Apparently they suck without their highly paid players swinging 3-0 🤣

Teoscar bomb off Karinchak

They did have plenty of their main guys playing today . Ohtani, Freeman swung 3-0 for the lone Dodger run hit it out, Teoscar, Will Smith , Muncy . 2 of their best relievers too.

Amaya against another 20 yr old pitcher named Lenin (Lee-nin) K looking on 1-2 off speed.

Vesia pitching LHP batters hit only .144 against him last year. Sox seeing some of the best Dodger relievers today . All with ERA in the 1's last yr.

I never said that Hahn was an idiot for not making an attempt to get those guys over and ver that's the difference if your brain can not comprehend that. Outman and Garrett were guys I thought were interesting players who were worth looking into acquiring after scouring some older AAA types. If you ever did your own research to find players worth acquiring I might think you know something about baseball. Instead you try to say me talking about Outman and Garrett is the same as way you talk about everyone that comes and goes through the trash dumpster. It's so weird that when you do your own research and scouting with only the best interest of the White Sox in mind without trashing the GM that you or anyone else would think it's the same as what you're doing. The blowback I got for making those suggestions the off season after 2022 was because people thought those players were trash . Again weird because I was looking for undervalued assets so duh never said they were guaranteed to be any good but had qualities that were worth checking into . I also got blowback because they weren't likely to be traded. Also weird because again all I was doing was saying I like those guys and thought they'd be interesting to acquire IF possible. It was very confusing to me like wow people get really upset when you suggest a few players that look interesting . Like why are people so bent out of shape enough to tell me they suck or belittle the actual research I did on Outman about how fast he was and what a good OF he was and his hard work he put into revamping his swing to say I'm basing it on what he did in the small sample size when he came up. Of course that was only part of it not everything. Something has to catch your eye and make you delve into them more. Being out here in Dodger country and with the Sox always looking for a Rfers even then made him intriguing . To put it into further context for you this wasafter after the Sox finished .500 and were playing Andrew Vaughn in LF who I hated out there . But of course many here said the numbers say he was a decent Leftfielder. I'd always argue the numbers lied and I thought the rebuild had failed so was already looking at some younger guys. But many here were not ready to hear the rebuild was over and wanted better and not to take chances on nobodies hence the scorn. Apparently the Sox agreed with the masses and signed Benintendi after the New Year of 2023 that same offseason. Things have really worked out well since then haven't they ? But yet you somehow can equate me liking those players at that point in time to you hating everything Getz does while under JRs thumb. Yikes talk about apples and oranges .

It's not the point. There are plenty of reasons that the Sox are going to be bad without making them even worse by lying about their run totals in ST. Just tell the truth , it's bad enough.

WSox2023 other flavor of the month to prove Getz is an idiot. He sure makes a big stink out of nothing. Maybe sooner or later someone he once touted will be a player. But I did agree with him about Canario. But if you ditch a guy like Deloach or Colas for Canario then you have 2 players you can cry about to show Getz incompetence. What an idiot he dumped Colas, what an idiot he didn't pick up Canario if either one turns into a player eventually .Quite impressive he gets to call Getz an idiot now or later over a bunch of nobody's or nobody's now who becomes a one season or even a one month wonder later. And you know he will. I can't keep track of all the guys Getz could've got in trades or guys he cut that the guy has whined about. Getz is scraping the bottom of the barrel. Of course some will turn out better than others over short periods of time. There's no way to tell who is going to be a better retread. Chances are most marginal players remain marginal.

He who ?

Weird how you can keep such good track of the run differential but you can't add up the amount of runs the Sox have scored in all their games so far. They're not scoring many but they had 9 in the first 3 games so short changing them seems rather pointless .

You can call whoever you want whatever you want as far as I'm concerned although everyone may not know who you're talking about .

Id wager and win. So how much do you think is being spent on infrastructure ? That's a fraction of the cost of player payroll. Tampa was was the gold standard for years who could have a strong infrastructure while having a low player payroll and still win. If their player payroll was $100M they were not spending another $100M on infrastructure every year. For the cost of 1 player on a minimum ML salary there's a lot of infrastructure you can acquire for $800K. Startup costs will be higher at the beginning but once in place it'll need yearly maintenance which is not nearly as costly. Coaches, scouts coaches, administrators even the best ones are not cost prohibitive like the best players are. I realize you're only thinking about the last couple of years but each being equal but not a chance. Even during a rebuild you don't want to be pitiful. Pitiful is $70M player payroll.Again no way they spent $70M on infrastructure.

Lipcious walk.1st and 2nd 2 outs.
