It was right there in the purchase announcement? How silo'd are you? The White Sox have been losing money this entire decade, and have been taking out loans to do it. https://www.mlb.com/news/white-sox-announce-long-term-ownership-investment-agreement https://www.forbes.com/sites/jessesilvertown/2025/06/09/chicago-white-sox-transaction-is-a-dispute-in-waiting/

They probably get him to 75-80 pitches in his next start, which gets him pushing 100 like usual for the following start.

Unless they are willing to pick up large amounts of contracts, it means absolutely nothing. You either have to give up valuable prospects, or you have to assume large financial burdens to get players. If we aren't willing to do either, we are shopping in the discount bin to "add". Granted in places like the pen and rotation, it wouldn't take much to "add", but it won't be front line guys.

Ishbia's main work so far has been bailing out Jerry's operating losses from his mismanagement.

I think the difference is that we have watched Jerry run the Sox as a for profit entity, keeping costs as low as possible, and it still 90 X'd over those 46 years. If he had done it right, this franchise is probably double that value, which far outpaces the SP500. I think people are ready for the latter, because this sure didn't work.

Comiskey was falling apart. I loved that old park, but it wasn't practical to fix up. He was probably going to cost just as much to fix it, as it was to replace it.

You do understand the concept of investing, right?

Depends on what you mean by "moneymaker". Not as much year to year profit, but this franchise cost $20 million in 1980. Today it is being sold for $1.8 billion. If JR hadn't run this like a rundown laundry mat, this could have had a valuation of something like double what is is worth currently.

Chase has been worth 2.8 bWAR in 822 PAs. Nick was 3.7 in 992. Fwar is 2.7 for Chase, 2.9 for Nick

Below average range, UZR, and double plays as a 2B doesn't seem like good skills for a SS. We also know how awful his arm was, even though it didn't rate here.

He graded out pretty below average as a 2B, why would they play him at SS, especially when there were much better players there everywhere he went?

I would bet money that the general roles of the relievers (ie who the closer is) is 100% up to Getz, with Will getting the latitude to do what he needs to during a game.

It was also of note that even the CSN post game show did a whole breakdown on how Taylor was way better in save situations, and Anthony was way better in non-save situations. Was kind of surprised to see the questioning of the management on their own network, but it was good information.

Honestly, I thought early in the season that Anthony was here to be traded at the deadline, which is why they put him at closer to build his trade value. But as the season has gone on, and the games have actually gotten more important, I am at a loss for what is actually happening here.

Guessing the combination of the fact that he had a week off, and then didn't extend to 2 innings means the latter.

Nah, he's an AJ type. If he is on any other team but your own, he is a douchebag. If he is on your team, he is your douchebag. It also doesn't help that he is a low IQ player. Just baseball stupid and overly emotional.

Definitely fair.

If we have learned anything from the moden political scene, it is much easier to invalidate people versus actually doing the work to debate fact based opinions.

He was physically maxed out and picked for his proximity to the majors. Then he ended up being perpetually injured and unable to get any better.

He convinced Tampa to build it for him.
