Register and watch the occastional 15 second sales pitch. It's easy.

Honestly? Who cares. The Sox were literally last in 1B WAR this year and lost 121 games. I am not worried about marginal gains or losses. If it were up to me, I would stick Vargas there and let him get familiar with his new home, because it sure as hell shouldn't be 3B. This could also be on those positions where you find some unwanted $2-3m bat-ish first player and let him fill a position for a year like they did with DeJong at SS. You have nothing ready to go there anyway unless you surrender on Vargas, which Getz won't have enough sense to do.

It makes sense in that the new Sox regime seems to have no problem spending way too much money on proven god awful players. If you like Vaughn so much, let him walk, and pay him like half of that in free agency, like a normal franchise.

This is where Mr Pennywise has been extremely pound foolish. There are hundreds of millions of dollars in franchise valuation sitting on the sidelines because ownership refuses to wisely invest in this franchise instead letting the roof leak and the basement flood.

36 players had 400 or more PAs while playing 1B. According to Fangraphs Vaughn pulls up as #31 in terms of WAR at -0.2. The Great Gavin Sheets pops in at #35 or -0.9. Yes, the White Sox managed to pull a negative 1.1 WAR at 1b. This has to be history. https://www.fangraphs.com/leaders/major-league?pos=1b&qual=400&pagenum=1&pageitems=50

You let Vaughn and Nicky walk and replace them with telephone poles.

Honestly? We need to find a Ricky Renteria. Get these guys ready to play every day.

I am sorry, what is the proper ratio of watching games to banning trolls? I have only been doing this 22 years.

Sure he sucks, but he takes a lot of pitches to suck is one heckuva flex.

Jesus Christ himself would lose 100+ games with who Getz will put on the field for 2025.

Well step one is to WANT so spot it, and not believe it.

I have to give it to the guy, no matter what, he never forgets how lucky he is in life.

I can't feel bad for Pete. His entire life has had one unbreakable rule in baseball. Don't bet on your own team. And he did it. Repeatedly. And against his own team. It isn't that deep.

We all know that the media, especially sports media, is all liars.

If you really like the guy, make him a bench coach with a manager who knows what they are doing in 2024

Every accusation is a confession

My plan is to continue to not go to games and barely watch the team.

Let me put it this way.

I am not going to lie, I expected it to be @Quin when I saw someone getting fed their lunch like this.

If you claiming that the head of a billion dollar operation giving a press conference is "elder abuse" is you not being emotional, I would HATE to see you get emotional.

Pretty much everyone states this because it is good for business. Don't offend anyone. We would know everything by knowing what kind of ask he has made.

This take doesn't make sense. Either you are fit to run a billion dollar operation or you aren't. If he isn't physically/mentally able to give a press conference, retire.

I have never seen someone have the need to tell other people so aggressively to not care and to not have expectations. Cool, we get it.
