It definitely beats the alternative, but I long for the day where mediocrity over 17 games isn't worth an end zone dance.

Sure buddy. You keep on fighting that fight. Look forward to the next THEY WOULD SHOULD HAVE GIVEN HIM A BAZILLION DOLLARS post.

The We ShOuLD PaY hIm BiG mOnEy ThAt WiLl ShOw ThEm meme is played out. The defense of the White Sox as the cheapest franchise in baseball is one of helluva flex.

They do not. He is supposed to be a full pledged free agent according to details published when he signed this deal.

I was wondering how long he would hold out. History also isn't kind to pitchers who hold out, so hopefully Lucas at least got healthier.

It must be someone they like being available at those points, but won't get past a team behind that point, but in front of the Bears. The team immediately in front of the Bears is at #24, and that is one slot NOT mentioned.

9-14 = .391 win% which projects out to 63 wins. Nope, this is pretty much in their lane. But I guess as bad as things have been, the victory lap ceiling gets easier and easier to take.

Yeah, I guess it was an appropriate ending for the show, but I definitely was hoping for more. Seemed very anticlimactic.

No surprise there, this is the "infrastructure" part that we always hear legislators say they are willing to pay for.

Glad to see the O extended past Sacramento

If you are going to play him, DH him. It's the batting order that sucks.

That's my wonder, if either they wanted him to move up, or he wanted to move up and they wouldn't commit until after the "process"

I want to be mad at this post, but also

This is a great point. Billy didn't write this.

Definitely this. He's got great power on contact, but making contact consistently has been an issue through the first few weeks. If the pitchers are effective at exploiting him, it could be a long 2 years

Again, I think this is keeping up the show of "Jerry is in charge". Obviously we can see what is happening here.

Ishbia is obviously working behind the scenes. But I still haven't seen it really translate into the daily stuff.

We can all hope, but until Jerry is gone, I am not convinced.

8 years is.... the first year that Ishbia can take over on his own.

The Sox have a chance to fix literally everything they screwed up in the late 80's. Stadium design, stadium location, activities around the stadium, stadium views, etc. Let's do this right.

ANNND they lost Billy Donovan anyway. Quality work there Bulls.

Forget lame "coattails" type of fan crap, If LAD offers him a Dodgers like contract, and the Sox offer him a Sox like contract, THAT should mean something to him.
