Of course.

You rabbitholed me, but if Fernando Mendozas NIL deal was a White Sox contract, he would be paid more than around 18 players on the Sox roster.

When he talked about cleaning s%*# up, who knew it was so literal.

The Sox have essentially been in the same spot since 1910, and have one of the smallest fan bases in MLB in terms of showing up. I cannot accept the idea that being in Bridgeport is some sort of a benefit to the White Sox.

It shows some should have paid more attention to their teachers

When they take the money out of your check for it, it isn't a favor

Because undeveloped (which it is now) vs developed is very different valuations.

It's 100% on what Ishbia wants to pay for.

This. We COULD have had him six plus years as a starter.

This. See also: Taylor, Grant

You got a kid that's not very good we can take in the 2nd round?

The same problem with Taylor, exists with both Schultz and Smith and that is conditioning. If they can't even go 100 innings, wasting a season pitching them out of the pen is just another step closer to them never starting. I know people are on the Sale/Crochet bandwagon, but for the vast majority of cases, once you go to the pen you don't come out, especially if you don't have a real innings base under you before you do it.

It's a fight over property taxes more than anything.

No second round pick? Slackers.

All that and the Tigers still lost. Brilliant.

Yeah, which is why Indiana's population is falling, and Chicago's is rising...

Gotta let that contract run out. Do you know what GMs make these days?

The Wirtz are at least in a cash based business, but I sure with Jerry it was financed and OPM.

There is zero chance it doesn't pass.

Collect 10 of them and you get a free campfire milkshake

Damned close.

It's one year and he is gone. Do the smart thing and rake another org and set yourself to win for the next five years. Hell, they probably still win the division, and there are plenty of other arms they can still sign.

Eh, I don't support letting the fans run the organization. As Stacey King tells us, if you're scared, get a dog.

Honestly the baller thing to do would be to trade Skubal now and cut your losses, but grab someone's top 5 to do it. Absolutely reload. Take a hit today to own the AL Central in the future.
