It's the same things that we have all been talking about. Regressions and depth.

Law ranks the Sox farm system 12th overall, as a part of what he calls "tier 3". Both Cleveland (5) and Detroit (7) ranked ahead of the Sox. https://www.nytimes.com/athletic/6094581/2025/01/30/mlb-farm-system-rankings-2025/?source=emp_shared_article

We do seem to have a type.

The Sox seem to view Robert as a salary dump? Awesome.

They both seem to have one thing in common that kills them both, cowardice management and ownership which won't allow them to make the moves they need to sustain winning for anything resembling a prolonged period of time. Just like the Sox position player development, Baltimore hasn't been able to develop pitching and their management has been afraid to acquire the guys the really need to fill those holes.

But apparently they do scour it to find other people to shame.

It would so awful to be like Baltimore and coming off of multiple seasons in a row in the playoffs with one of the youngest offenses in the game. Those poor fans.

Unless you really think that Colson Montgomery is going to be a failure, a 1/2 year deal doesn't fit what is happening here at all. The only way that changes if Monty isn't your guy and you use Kim as a bridge/trade bait to something else.

If they want to send real prospects for the Sox to do it, they should absolutely listen to the pitch. They still need PLENTY of position player prospects.

But you don't need to spend on that level to compete. Teams all over baseball prove that every year. Cheap AND stupid is the killer.

Yeesh.

On paper they are actually one of the least profitable teams in baseball.

If the White Sox actually took advantage of the market they are in, and ran this franchise like anything but a family convience store, they would be a highly profitable team with a lot more revenue coming in on an annual basis. The disparity exists for them because of their own stupidity and stubbornness.

For #33, this doesn't seem like a great write up.

Old friend alert.

The great thing about the historic Soxfest was they always ran two amazing parallel paths for entertainment, giving a great experience to both adults and to the kids. I know they are trying to rebuild with the full knowledge that fan engagement is at a multi generational low, but geesh you would think someone would think to do better than this.

That would be great for the White Sox, as they are #1 on the waiver claim slot, plus the Dodgers 40th roster slot probably has more talent than most of the White Sox 25 man roster.

The divide on Colson is WILD, though historically the BA's of the world have been much quicker to adjust to changes in a players performance to move them into a more appropriate range.

I have to imagine a write up for Grant Taylor would be similar, but with a higher ceiling. We have got to get some of these guys to stay healthy.

And the wild thing is that the Sox revenues are basically flat since 2020. Such a waste of a franchise.

Sure, but tons of people will tune it just for it.

I mean exoneration is a legal term with a very specific meaning. You literally can't be exonerated by a private investigation, just like you can't be proven guilty by one. The terms being throw around here casually aren't correct.
