What are the absurd hot takes

They definitely avoided backlash.

If they interviewed harris they had to have interviewed Jirschele.

Things were going too well really. We had to know this would happen. Second thought: MAN I WANT A SOXFEST THIS YEAR PLELEASE

Fans of the hire, rn:

LOL this thought did cross my mind today. It's like when you drive through Rhode Island and are like "Wait what is this...wait what IS THIS?"

I'm not sure he's allowed to ride a lawnmower anymore.

Just caught myself hoping for michael reinsdorf to take over the white sox.

That's not true he has one friend.

Regardless of how much merit there was today or yesterday of "players won't want to go there", that it is now a storyline means a lot of players who didn't have an opinion will now worry that others don't want to go there.

Reinsdorf loves conflict guys. He loves it. He wants the tea. Things were running too smoothly and it was boring.

don't forget ourselves. Finally got to tap into my old men with loud mouths network. As resident insider,

okay everyone, for the next hour you are allowed to murder any poster you want like the purge. There are no rules. JK PLEASE KEEP BE ANGRY BUT NOT MEAN

brad hand for 10 mil seems pretty ideal even if it's not that optimal having both him and bummer as lefties. Though maybe this year 10 mill will be top of market

Every year sox hire an aging veteran as insurance on a minor league deal and people freak out thinking they'll take a young players role on the team, then they never get called up even in some cases where it makes sense. This is a true "if mendick and anderson get injured" move.

I think they are good now, but I can't keep up with the crazy kids and their twitter, as we saw today.

Stroman has agency and leverage and is going to use that to put himself in a situation he enjoys, which may include not playing for a 76 year old curmudgeon. Seems reasonable.

creating the social media video of tim anderson reading "I am so very excited to play for Tony La Russa" while Reinsdorf holds a gun to his head.

This feels like the "us against the world (world being the fans of the team he owns)" scenario Jerry thrives on and by thrives I mean stubbornly ignores until it consumes the org and he pulls the trigger for change 3-4 years too late.

The news y'all have been waiting for.

Good lord. @fathom was right, this does feel like Tennessee. Can't we just have nice things? I'm telling you they should have just hired Thome. Everyone would be like "it goes against everything hahn said...but hey I love Jim Thome"

This wouldn't have happened if I wasn't bored waiting for your buddy to tell us how to feel.

@Jose Abreu IS RIGHT, I WAS WRONG I got confused when he started liking a bunch of old tweets making me think we were past the speculation. Editing old posts.

I see Stroman liking a bunch of tweets making fun of jay cutler, and praising keith law for putting him at #4 free agent.
