MiLB trades don't attract much attention.

Unless he goes crazy, he's the kind of guy that Scott Boras has seen more and more often sit out the entire winter without a deal. While he seems OK with the top level guys, that second and third tier isn't as big of a slam dunk.

Try again.

Take your own advice.

Can we not do this trope in the MiLB threads too?

There have been all kinds of positive stories fed to Sox reporters.

The point was you were wrong. It wasn't just a bad start to one season. That's demonstratably false

Weird how there was no whisper campaign against Vaughn, right?

It's not a slow start to one year. It's 4 bad to mediocre years PLUS a bad start to the 5th.

Not one. Not two. Not three. Not four. Five.

Jerry watches Star Wars and sympathizes with The Emperor. Change my mind.

Cute, but no. Perfect example is the Bryce Harper story from the other day. That story was anonymous sourced with no effort made at confirmation. Anyone with any sense should question that. This is directly from a primary source who observed these actions himself. In a day and age where people pick and choose what they believe based on whether they agree with it or not, it is much better to understand how to trace to source material to decide how much credence to put into something instead of do I like it or not. Definitely better than attacking the messenger because the message hurt your feelings.

AND nothing seems to have changed.

So everyone knows how lazy he is, but we paid him $6 million to come back. Outstanding.

No more attack posts. No response needed.

You had me at Dump Vaughn.

We are done with the Clevinger redos. It's over, move on.

Knowing Robert, this is about when the injury happens.

For a team that was as cash strapped as they were, I was shocked they brought him back. it was an easy place to save.

I think he is mocking those that though this trade was the end of the world because we gave up Burger, but I will let him say.

Leave it to the Sox to be going to open air when the rest of the world has moved on to the thing the Sox did four deacdes ago.

Look, all you have to do is look at the actual actions of one Jerry Reinsdorf and you can see they don't view 35th and Shields as the best option. Hell even on the west side they are already working on a literal entertainment complex out of their own pockets. The idea that Jerry doesn't want this flies in the face of all of his actual actions, no matter what happens at the 78.

If we managed to accumulate a zero war starting line up, that would be a huge step forward. We don't need superstars yet to do that much. But these kid have to keep playing.

Oooh, you are about to get a laugh react. TAKE THAT WITH YOUR FACTS

Again a better perspective is that the last time in White Sox history they averaged this few fans was the penultimate season at the old ballpark, where they averaged 13,071. That is 36 years ago in 1989. A large portion of the fan base is quite literally not old enough to remember attendance this bad in their lifetimes.
