Are we just going to ignore the fact that Gossage himself was a failed starter who excelled as a reliever to the point he made the Hall of Fame?

I don't know about you, but if I had public transit as a real option, I would drink more before, during, and after a game in theory, than if were only able to drive.

Bringing him in alone wasn't a problem. Bringing him as a defensive savior and starter was the problem

Requires? No. But as long Jerry and his hindsuckers are in control, this is reality.

Isn't the best indicator of future injury, a past injury?

We just held an election where we did just that as a nation.

Don't get me started on the home run.

For the record this isn't a property tax issue.

Honestly if this election has taught me anything, it's that people have insanely short attention spans, and they will buy just about anything if it is packaged right. At the end of the day, the perfect time for this to happen is right after an election is where the electorate has time to forget it and be reeducated on what happened.

Plus let's be fully honest here, the Royals made the playoffs because they went and beat the s%*# out of the White Sox all season long. If they played 13 games against the ALE or ALW, they 100% miss the playoffs because they don't have those gimmies.

Or you could just do both. Trade him for the return you so badly need in position players/prospects AND then go and try and sign him in free agency. But again, we know those odds as well.

You aren’t going from 50 wins in 2025 to competitive in 26 with that roster. Even if the fantasy of all of that pitching works, this is still one of the worst offenses in baseball, and as a bonus you just lost Crochet for nothing as Jerry was too cheap to make Garrett a qualifying offer.

This relationship is in the best shape of its life!

Where are you getting this from? There is zero actual evidence to support anything and all publicly available materials contradict that Jerry isn't on board with it.

What if I told you that statistical changes have happened over the history of baseball and the Hall of Fame adjusted to those changes? The game of baseball in 1901 is not the same game we play today in 2024.

Nooooooo not Nicky!

I don't believe that Daniels, or anyone else, would be succeeding with the Beras.

I can't understand why they wouldn't tbh.

You get a choice of 100% for shorter periods of time, or a lesser percentage for a longer period of time. I don't know why the Boomer crowd gets so bothered by this, but it is physiological fact. You can't run a marathon at the same pace you run the 100 meter dash. Why do people think you can pitch at a full out rate for 200 plus innings? That's why their bodies are breaking down. Besides Gossage was a reliever himself. He should understand this better than most.

It checks out.

Knowing the Sox penchant for communications, we will find out something when pitchers and catchers report in February.

The Bears are trying to make the White Sox look professional.

I will say this much, if this kid is anything like Ohtani, he will make tens of millions of dollars off of the field in the next few years anyway, so his signing bonus, while nice, isn't going to be nearly his primary means of income until his second contract anyway. Getting into a bigger Japanese community for endorsements will probably pay him a ton more than his signing bonus will.

That is a crazy number for the NFL, let alone NBA.

The bar is so low that these days, not making an obviously stupid hire is a thing to be celebrated.
