Let's be honest, who would you put up the $200 for a new jersey of, that is on the White Sox today? Even a guy like Mune is most likely a two years tops guy. If he busts, he's gone. If he booms, he's gone.

I don't know if you guys are still working on it @Chisoxfn , but open air Verizon still doesn't work.

BUT WHAT ABOUT THE SOIL AND INGRESS!?!>?!?!?!?

Not going to lie, that AAA rotation might end up being better than the MLB one.

It is definitely sad. I stayed at a Holiday Inn Express last night. Or was it I had Jerry's ear? I forget which.

Scouts cost money. Jerry, probably

I will add this footnote as well. While this would serve as the largest contract in Sox history, it is only 7th for the Cubs.

For the sake of posterity, I get the feeling the way he plays CF and the game that he falls apart pretty young. Not sure that he makes it to the end of this 6 years. EDIT, just also saw that there is no option years. Wow, this is a great deal for PCA.

This is it right here. There is a perpetual litmus loyalty test. You can be perfectly fine one day, but cross the wrong line, and you are persona non grata. Cross another, they have their people targeting you. It's the definition of a mom and pop shop.

I am going with my nice prediction of 69-92. That's right, I am even throwing in a rain out as a bonus.

How many games will the Sox win in 2026? Post your totals here, or never pretend to have known. This is the way.

To be fair, AJ being pissed of is pretty normal. He burned more bridges than the Chicago Fire.

Me neither, but we also we do lead the league in petty.

Thinking back, I wonder if this stuff was already happening, and that's why he was left off. The timing would make sense.

Not you

Thanks for the info.

Apparently we should just give it time.

Umm, I think you are making everyone else's talking points here. Thanks. He's making entirely what he is worth, near minimum wage. I do think it is ironic that one minute you are preaching about budgets and projecting out what other people say, and then full embrace it about two seconds later. The point repeatedly made was if the Sox had a spare million (unlike you claimed recently), Andrew Benintendi getting his walking papers would be WAAAAAAAAAAY more productive for the Sox than a part time catcher for a few weeks. But when it was suggested previously, it was all about the budget. Now that apparently that money wasn't the actual problem, on to the next thing. Reese being turned into this incredibly obvious move that was so important to make it belied by his having a $1.25 million contract as a major leaguer. That's a replacement level contract.

Reese has been handed around more often than a [insert meme here]. If he was half as important as he was being played up, he wouldn't be fighting for a near minimum wage contract. Even mediocre catching has a price.

That is definitely fair, and I don't think there is much hope for significant growth as a whole until the next gen gets here. I do think the pen is better in the sense as it isn't the obvious worst in the world, but yeah.

If the young pitching goes the way they did last year, 100 losses is very realistic, because it means that help won't be coming.

If I had to put a number on it, I would go 69-93, A lot of it depends on what happens in the minors, how soon guys can get here, and if they are productive once they do arrive.

It seems like most of the national writers think progress, and probably not 100 losses. That's about where I am too. I think "competitive" stuff is nuts, but keep most guys moving forward and it is a productive year.

And a clown in LF that contradicts all of that.

Frank is that your wallet in your pants, or are you just happy to see me? Nope definitely not my wallet.
