There is quite literally a place in the top of a post to control font, including bold, italic, etc. As to the above rant, I think you are wrongly connecting FACT with COMMONLY HELD BELIEF. All of these discussions are based on what people believe, and I have yet to see anyone claim any of your rant as a FACT, let alone the idea that EVERYONE believes it. That's ridiculous and shows you don't actually read the discussions, just get offended when the crowd in general doesn't agree with you.

Which is exactly where reports have the White Sox failing so badly with half assed attempts at it, instead of the deep and detail analytics real teams use.

He's still getting his toes wet in the zero entry.

Probably the premier move of Rick Hahn's career was not panicking on Jose Quintana and holding on to him until the next deadline and making the deal with the Cubs.

I have been posting the Forbes numbers annually. We haven't had a "profitable" season since 2019 according to them.

Ready to put the Black into Black Sox!

Good lord.

It would explain a lot of things, such as why uou put Chris Getz in charge instead of finding a real GM

I need Christ Getz in my card game. He'd fold every time.

I would be really impressed if the Sox could manage to be the worst team in the history of baseball in back to back years.

That's true for literally anyone at any job. As long Jerry is alive, this job is Getz.

The Sox should do one of 2 things with Andrew. Either release him and eat the money like a professional MLB franchise in 2025, or they should find a band contract for bad contract deal that gets them something they need more than Benny.

Oh, no don't get me wrong, I think it is an absolutely idiotic idea, but based on the previous reports of them trying to include Benny at the deadline, it adds up as the framework of a larger deal.

Seems to be a thing with Getz. We did the same thing with Cease.

There is no man in Chicago with better job security than Chris Getz as long as he keeps Jerrry happy. He undertook a successful coup, and it is his castle now. Seeing what he is saying now, he does not sound like a man who is feeling any pressure.

Again, I can't help but wonder if this is a way to included Benny in a deal and defray some of the money for Philly.

5 years of control, 5 years of control, and 5 tears of control, while getting zero of Boston's top 10 prospects.

If I had to bet? This is part of moving money around to get Benintendi into the deal.

Literally they should just be shopping for flip candidates and looking to fill ABs and IPs to keep from rushing important guys. That's it. I honestly don't care if they spend zero this off season, as there is nothing out there to help them in the few years anyway. Best case is to get someone in a trade from some flip candidate this year. Maybe you get a reliever, or luck out and have your scouting actually work and find a starter somehow.

Even after a 121 loss season, Chris Getz is looking at taking short cuts.

The price of Garrett Crochet on the open market has a minimum price tag of 5/150 as established by Glasnow's deal with the Dodgers. If he can stay healthy, it's up near Cole. People can say what they want, but the market states pretty clearly was Garrett Crochet is worth.

No, but it makes Jerry dollars, and that makes sense.

You can lead a horse to water...
