I think the line for me is when he went after John as a threat. That's the worst of it. Hawk beefed has this town, but he he never threatened anyone.

Look. To a large extent sports radio is just a gossip column for guys. If you are going to sit and talk s%*# about people for a living, you can't catch feelings when someone needles you back. It's fragile and lame.

It is pretty hilarious that a bunch of dudes who sit and judge other people for hours as a job, are so sensitive to someone judging them for a couple of seconds.

Their top 10 appears to be all position players too, which we need badly.

If the 1 in a million really did happen and the White Sox left Chicago, making them leave behind the name and history makes sense because teams will be fist fighting to get into Chicago for a chance at that market. Whether it is expansion or move, it would happen and happen quickly.

Gio had a much better history as well as ReyLo as part of the deal.

It is insane. I am guessing something like the Giolito return is the very top, probably less.

What a relief that he made is through amirite?

Or some the less good ones, like Roman

We are over here with people seriously talking about building around Fedde, meanwhile this exists on planet earth. When I talk about talent gap, this is exactly the type of stuff I am talking about. THIS is what you want to find in the draft and trade processes to build around. You are looking to give yourself every opportunities to back into talent like this, not a 31 year old who found the fountain of decency. I mean I glad Fedde is having a resurgence, but if you want to squint and look at a guy like this in a real playoff rotation, you know one with World Series aspirations, where you do see him? 3rd? 4th?

Hopefully Nicky Lopez, but I am not going to hold my breath.

LIterally minutes ago.

Nah, not that. Any other ideas?

What blackmail material does Maldonado have on Chris Getz?

It's absurd

What is the saying about wishing you knew it was the good old days while they were happening? Yeah, that.

nationwide Soxtalk is on your siiiide?

Honestly? I don't care if we are competitive for the rest of 2024, or even 2025. I am already in a mindset of we need to target being competitive in 2026, with a realistic goal of 2027. Why? The talent gap is sooooo wide between the Sox and real playoff teams that every single person who isn't a rookie today is probably not going to be here by the time we could win a divisional title again, meaning that all of them are disposable for pieces that can win a title in the future.
