Plus the roster moves they made prior to last year tell a different story.

But also, it was obvious they were going to be the worst ever, but also it was super unlucky, and that is nobody's fault. There, I think I covered it.

The Bulls just haven't bottomed out yet. It's coming.

In terms of liking Max as a manager, I just want to see some baseball IQ on the field this year. That's the first thing that will tell me he's effective. It's bad when you have no talent, but it's adjectively awful when your talent is also baseball stupid. That is something a good manager should be able to help with.

Really it depends if they end up on the 12 month end of things, they can use 26 as their rebuilding season, and be full strength in 27. if it hits more of the 18 month, they fully miss 2026 and 27 becomes their ramp up, which pushes a guy like Thorpe to 2028 to be back to "normal", meanwhile he is almost to arb status.

While calling everyone else short sighted.

Again, in 125 years of GMs being fired and cleaning up messes, this has quite literally never happened before. In all of the disastrous individual seasons, over those 125 years, I find it hard to believe that the Sox were messed up so much worse than any other individual team, there was no better scenario than the all time loss record. Just by it's statistical rarity, it screams significant outlier for good reason, especially for a season in which they weren't actually trying to be the worst team in baseball.

This is absurd when their role directly affected the job they fell up into, especially for the crowd that likes to pretend that this was such a surprise and a shock, and nothing could have been done to stop it.

Chris is a major part of the biggest problem with the previous regime. His job was literally player development, which we did none of. We lacked talent BECAUSE OF CHRIS GETZ

A LOT of GMs have come into complete disasters. That's usually what opened the job in the first place. None of them have ever managed to do what Chris Getz achieved last year, and a large chunk of it was a complete lack of minor leaguers turning into major leaguers which was literally his his entire job description previously. It can't be that literally every draft pick for a decade was unfixable.

He will get an injury settlement

Someone get Freddie Mercury warmed up.

This is the type of player that the Sox should be grabbing.

Can I switch my answer to the White Sox surgeon? Seems he might have more of an affect on our future than the vast majority of this roster.

Before the Thorpe one, someone showed a spreadsheet that said 14 have happened since 1/1 and 4 belong to the Sox

It hasn't been your day, your week, your month or even your year...

It's always good when the excuses make themselves.

Taylor especially. The other guys seem to have decent histories, but Grant Taylor needs to get there

Man, you drag someone's kids into it, it's over.

Moron.

Ope.

Nope, just the worst team in the history of Major League Baseball.

Marketing a toxic waste dump has its challenges.

None of the above. More interested in the Dutch/Hagen/Braden tier of players in the Minors
