Ask Tray, he's the one excluding people.

This entire post is a long winded justification to you acting like you are better than everyone else and get to gatekeep every one else who doesn't. With all due respect, I don't know why you think this is your job, but lecturing people after the worst season in the history of baseball is the ultimate in entitlement.

And the Bulls still can't move anyone. What a joke.

Hahahahahahahahahahahahahaha

Wow. Whatever you get paid, it is too much.

Well there goes that narrative.

I think this sums up most of your responses lately pretty well. Continue your death spiral.

Jerry won’t pay for pretty much anything to improve returns, minor league depth is worse than ever, the teams in front of us by 40-50 games have similarly ranked farms systems, but things are magically going to be fixed. Death spiral is a perfect way to describe this franchise right as they pat themselves on the back telling us how great of a job by refusing to do even a decent part of what it takes to win today in MLB.

The more things change the more they Jerry the same.

Such a development success story.

No. Just, no.

WTAF

This is probably about fair. I think they have talent, but they lack the superstar hitters in this system. They completely lack offense as it is, and while the pitching could be the best in baseball (with cost factored in) if people hit at a high rate, they still lack the middle of the line up guys.

Good news is that you never have to worry about it because I won't tell him what he wants to hear for the job.

Another middle IF and CF make a lot of sense here as the ask. Aiden Miller would obviously be the ideal ask, but who knows if they can pry him loose. Crawford has to be almost a certainty as an ask. From there, it is what your scouts think of some of the guys down the line as to what you settle for.

Yeah in these legal hypotheticals, you can also go completely to the opposite side and say since she wasn't found guilty of libel/slander, she obvious didn't lie because she was never found guilty of it. That's not accurate either though. Not being able to prove something happened with a confidence level that is high enough to work for what MLB was looking for, doesn't mean it didn't happen, they are innocent, exonerated, or anything else. It just means they didn't mean MLB's threshold for assigning a penalty. That's it. Especially since it seems like the most likely scenario is that they didn't get cooperation out a witness who had a disincentive to make sure that this guy never worked again.

It's hard to find clear data, but the 2022 estimate was $60 million from their local tv deal. I would be surprised if we sit at 10% of that right now.

The stuff has never been in question. He has to find health.

Divided by 30 teams, that covers Tauchman and Bryse Wilson for the White Sox.

Oops.

I will quote my favorite phrase... those who don't learn from their history are doomed to repeat it. But sure, let's pretend this never happened and everything is fine.

Of course the other side of the coin is that the White Sox wounds are entirely self-inflicted.

I do, and I still stand by it. Just because the Sox and Reds are cheap, doesn't change Roberts value on the open market.

Ah fun. I guess we could also mention the Cease and Quintana deals as risk/reward payoffs, but Captain Panic operations aren't a big surprise.

You mean Robert? Moncada is already gone.
