    I bet more dirt comes out now. And most likely Grifol is a lame duck manager

    I hope you are right about Pedro but Nightengale is reporting otherwise and i doubt JR wants to pay for 2 years of him golfing.

    What if the new GM and leadership keeps him for one year and then cans him?

    If Jerry hasn't seen enough already this season to let a new GM show Pedro the door, another 65 win season isn't going to do the job.   He's either gone come October or he'll be around at least 2 more seasons to fulfill his contract.

    So far so good. Now bring in someone from the outside and I may be back!

    I won't be back until Grifol is gone.    His performance this season has made us all forget how bad Tony LaRussa was last year.

  4. Middleton should get a standing ovation if he comes into a game this week.  We obviosly knew much of this already but fans saying this wasnt going to change anything.  Now that a former player of ours has brought this to the forefront, may e some changes will happen to this organization in the offseason.  Than you Kenyan for being one player here who had a desire to win.

  5. This season has been disappointing....no doubt about it.  However, I still believe in the talent.  I think the coaching is the problem.  Blow up the staff and bring in a new manager, hitting coach, and pitching coach.  Bad leadership is a recipe for disaster no matter how good the team is and we have a clown show leading our team.

    Do you really think a new manager with a 3-yr deal is getting canned after a month? I just don’t see that happening. That’s not a baseball thing. Certainly not a Reinsdorf thing.

    Probably not getting fired.   That’s why I’ve written off this season and cancelled my plans to travel from Vegas for a series in 2023.   Hope springs eternal for 2024 though…..although if Grifol is allowed to finish his contract, I may just wait to see a game in person when the Sox visit the Las Vegas A’s in the future.

  7. This team needs a manager that would hold players accountable and get them to play with emotion.  We had the opportunity to rehire Ozzie in the offseason and he would have been perfect.  Instead, we hired a younger clone of LaRussa (who is producing the same lackluster results)

  8. First and foremost, this news really sucks and all our thoughts and prayers should be with Liam.   I know he's a fighter and am confident he can kick cancer's ass and be back as a dominant closer.

    On a secondary note, if he's missing the season, do we have  an insurance policy that covers his contract?   If so, let's hope we spend this $18 million on other improvements to the team and not just put it in Jerry's pocket. 

    If nothing else, let's donate these funds to the American Cancer Society.

    Get well soon Liam.   We'll be praying for you!

  9. Since Ozzie appears open to accepting the position, I will be so disappointed if the Sox don't make him the manager for 2023.   This team can win with a brilliant mastermind like Ozzie calling the shots and It would be worth every penny to make him the highest paid manager in MLB.

  10. I think this has been a great addition for us in recent weeks.   He's hit well and played solid defense.   I imagine he'll move to 2nd base when TA comes back and if this works out, I hope they'll look at resigning him for that position in 2023 (assuming he's open to the idea).   What do you think the market will be for him?   How much money would it take to sign him for next season?

  11. Ozzie will save this team and the organization if given the opportunity.  I dont think its arguable that if he had stayed our manager all these years, the White Sox would have at least 8-10 more World Series titles.  And this team has more talent than most teams we fielded in the last 15 years.  It's time to realize it.
