    MLB aren't giving up TV contracts that cover 10 million plus people for a city below 1 million. Nashville isn't a real threat.

    Not going to debate the TV contracts aren’t a consideration, but Oakland will be going to Vegas (far smaller population than the Bay Area).

    A MLB team in Nashville would crush it if placed correctly and marketed. 

    Again you have to think about the next 15-20 years.  IMO far far more appealing to be in Nashville than a slowly dying Chicago’s second fiddle

    There definitely seems to be some bitter motivation behind some of his less than effusive comments about the org of late.

    Or maybe the motivation is that the organization is a complete dumpster fire?

    So they are leaving the kids in Chicago while he's playing in New York? That doesn't make sense. So he's now a visiting player and wants to have the same benefits as Sox players? 

    I bet the Yankees allowed him to immediately use their day care. 

    It's an employee benefit. He's not an employee. If they can show examples of other visiting players being allowed to, then I'll join the chorus of boos. But for following the established rules? I'm not going to criticize my team. 

    The guy rips the organization on the way out the door then two weeks later "hey I know the rules but could you do me a favor and break them for me?"

    So if you don’t know exactly the situation (and I admit I don’t either) you have a choice of who to believe. I choose to believe the s%*# show continues to be a s%*# show. This organization in its current state will never get the benefit of the doubt from me.

  4. Colson at 2!!!

     

    This is an aggressive ranking, but nobody I spoke with has Montgomery outside of their top 10; most have him in their top five. Montgomery has a shot to be a plus hitter with plus power and play shortstop in the big leagues, so the idea is similar to Holliday, but you'd see differences if you watched them. Montgomery is bigger and stronger at 6-foot-3, is one notch slower on the bases and will probably settle at third base eventually, but he's in the Corey Seager range of size/speed/strength/feel: He could thread the needle and be the best of both worlds.

    As bad as Hahn is, collecting failed high draft picks isn't a bad strategy. There was a reason they were picked high. The problem is the White Sox don't seem to be able to bring out the best in most players.

    It’s a low pressure environment here being around so many other failures.

    if during this off season the Tigers decided to put Javy Baez on the market would you want the Sox to take a run on him?   What if they agreed to eat half of his salary?  i’m guessing Detroit would agree to about any trade for him.  i know his numbers are BRUTAL with the Tigers, but is there a chance this guy can turn it around? 

    How can someone watch this ball club and think the answer is Javy?!
