We are 100% going to see AT LEAST 1 more 100 loss season.

Well, so much for the Cease is failing meme of the Getz Defense Corporation.

That's a wild strategy though, if you don't promise me more pay, I won't do my job which you are paying me for already.

The Sox have won at least 3 in a row 3 times this year. They have lost at least 3 in a row 9 times.

He was 0.9 years older than the average A+ player when he was at Winston Salem.

Gowens 0.6 years younger than the average AA player. Though if you are average age even, that usually means you are behind as a prospect as the older players are the ones not going anywhere and pulling up the average age.

The White Sox are fine. This is all a part of the plan.

NEGATIVE 4.3

2024 draftees can't be traded, or even be a PTBNL until after the World Series.

As much as we would love the Sox to add, but why? Why would you spend real money on this condemned shithole of a team? You need to be able to at least sort of see .500 in the immediate future before you really spend, otherwise it is a complete waste.

Using those same metrics, this team hasn't turned a profit since 2020.

This team is the leading contender for the first pick in 26.

The actual Getz presser.

This isn't something that a few free agents would fix. There are somewhere around half a dozen real major leaguers on the roster right now. Pretty much the entire starting line up and the entire bullpens need to be redone, and there is nothing in the pipeline for all practical purposes.

He's on pace to break the franchise lost record for a single by 10-15 games, of course he is a dead man walking. It's either him or Getz, and we know that isn't happening.

Even if you start something around Crawford and Caba, you can back fill some of the more interesting middle of the diamond young hitters they have down in the system.

And if the Sox really want to add him, bid on him in Free Agency like a normal team.

The front office hasn't said a word about the timeline. It's common sense that it will take a long time. The lack of talent you mentioned is why it won't be quick. This franchise, as it stands today is 50 games away from playoff contention, with absolutely zero in the upper minors when it comes to filling the offensive holes. The guys who should have been ready to plug, have mostly flopped this year. It's barren for the immediate future unless we trade for someone else's future players.
