From the current pool I assume?

Sure. but why rush him? Let him learn on an intelligent time line.

We know that at least two teams are taking out loans to cover daily operations, and they have TV revenue coming in.

Honestly based on seeing teams adding debt for operations costs, and knowing the Sox revenue streams have just been destroyed in recent years, I would be shocked if the Sox weren't legitimately in the red.

Which makes it weirder that they keep avoiding guys with big tools and flaws for guys with no tools and still have flaws

It also means that Chris Getz is doomed to fail because Jerry isn't letting go of power as long as he in involved.

OK, this is genuinely funny.

Jerry is not thrilled.

Cash considerations. Castro had a June 3rd opt out and Houston didn't plan on adding him.

With Dutch finally logging starters innings for the first time in his life, the waxing and waning of his stuff isn't a surprise. He's literally never pitched at this volume. It all about him building conditioning for a season while he learns how to make his stuff last 100 pitches instead of 50.

The return is the most important part.

Really after Getz got everyone axed it a great place to start counting. Parts of three seasons now.

But its true. That is 2020 and 21 we made the playoffs. 22 was a wake up call, and after 23, there was no doubting this wasn't a playoff team. It has been years since we were trying to win.

Jayden Daniels wouldn't have done a damned thing here either. Williams's Dad is 100% right. This place was a deathpool for QBs. Hopefully they made the right changes this year, but we will see.

Um, that hasn't been their goal for years now. This franchise is a dumpster fire they are trying to currently put out, and try to recover from. The won't be winning or contending for years.

Then you pick up his option and trade him. He'd still have two years of contract control, instead of one with QO.

This has all been obvious for years. The Bears and White Sox have a lot in common. #1, they still think you can run a franchise like you did in the 1980s.

If he is good enough to decline a qualifying offer, he is good enough to get traded before the deadline. At the very least, he would be good enough to pick up the option on, and then try to trade over the winter.

One of the most interesting things he said in here was the phrase "free agent signings" which would be "tolerated".
