He may not want another rebuild, but when you are winning 25% of your games, and have nothing in the pipeline, you are rebuilding.

He did it once and stated this circling of the drain.

Since you mention him, it is probably a decent time to mention two things. -His record without Tom Brady -The game really seemed to pass him by in those last few years.

All of the bats had flaws which the Sox struggle to fix. While we need bats, I am OK with making sure we get a player we know we can develop because you cannot miss on this pick.

Yes.

And no matter if you like the Sox ability to fix him, the Sox need superstar ceilings badly.

That is spectacular

Dodgers need to free 40/25 man slots and move guys the Sox wouldn't be interested in.

Getz: Hold on now...

You have Getz attention.

So about 2030...

Much like Michael Kopech, if they aren't willing to listen, isn't much you can do.

Look if we had $150 million in payroll and freeing up that money meant adding a player to a playoff contender, sure, it makes sense. But for a dumpster fire with no payroll to speak of? It is negligence.

Not to mention there is a large difference between awful and literally the worst ever, especially if you weren't actually trying to be bad.

How about the least playoff appearances for any of the Original franchises?

Exactly.

Usually those things are planted. This isn't a good thing.

The fact that no one in the obedient Chicago media is reporting this means nothing.

How about putting up the worst season in the 124 season history of your sport by accident? Does that qualify?

As well they should.

A maybe connected poster has been saying it for months.

This rumor is out there, that's why. No one is making it up or something.

If we do this we are the dumbest franchise in baseball. We have $50 million on payroll on the books next year including Benny, and literally only his deal in 26 and 27. There is absolutely no need to prolonge the rebuild by taking a shitty return to move this deal. None. It's cheap and stupid. What would we do with that money anyway? It is just baseball stupid and an insult to the fanbase.

Bold of you to assume Chicago media would publish something Jerry didn't want out knowing it would piss off the fan base

Whatever he said, he got fired for it.
