    Is your source also a Greek chef? If not, different source

    Hahaha, I just meant not sure if the Greek chef is getting his intel from the same dude that is the source of mine.  The guy giving this intel is aware of Soxtalk, and I was personally asked not to share this stuff like 2-3 months ago via my good buddy, who is the middle man sharing the intel of said source with me.

    I hate the Yankees as much as any American lacking brain damage but I've got complete and total respect for Judge. He earned it and I won't take what I'm feeling out on him or Yankees fans. Sure they have everything a fanbase could ask for but I'd be having a bad day if someone told me Timmy's Field of Dreams home run was off a ball juiced just for him. The situation sucks for everyone.

    I am tired of capitalists taking obscene amounts of money at the expense of our dignities. Sure we are White Sox fans and have no dignity to begin with but it feels especially pathetic to be a baseball romantic anymore. The sport has likely never been what I imagined it to be. I can accept that. Still I feel that we lose more of baseball's aesthetics every year. Seeing the strike zone sucks. Having gambling shoved in our faces sucks (RIP sports radio). If I have to watch the pitch clock tick down behind the batter that will suck more than anything.

    To get to the point, Manfred juiced the Judge balls because he wanted the money. It is as simple as that. That's why they rolled the goldilocks balls out for the important games. Manfred wants to create the best product for advertisers. I can deal with change and would accept pitch clocks and robot strike zones. Those two things on their own would be manageable. Everyone's got their breaking point and to me its when the billionaires decide they want a specific player to break a record. This sucks. I'm too young to be acting this old.

     

     

    Couldn't agree more, it's not Judge's fault and nothing against him, seems like a helluva dude, he deserves better than to have this crap connected to him.  Funny you mention the FOD game, I didn't realize how much I hated the on screen zone until they didn't have it up for that game, less distracting to the eye, give me the K zone after the fact, but during live play it's super distracting to me and takes my attention away from the hitter and pitcher.  One thing that Hawk said has always stuck with me, watch the player not the ball, really hard for me to do that with the zone on screen.

    So some roster reshaping moves might be incoming?

    Hearing the waiting on the big SS names to land to test the TA market theory is legit, editing to say this source has been accurate before, but it is thru a guy I've never met so, grain of salt as always.

    But I thought you thought your friend was messing with you. So you believe he isn't messing with you now Mr. Aintalkinoupolous ? And if so what makes you believe him now?

    Unless they're the same source, I'm hearing independent confirmation on the same stuff Greek Paul is alluding to the last couple days.

    This stuff is all so annoying.  Don't want to speak for anybody else, but I feel like stats are part of what makes baseball great and interesting.  It just seems to be a perpetual cycle in the MLB that guys are not on even or fair playing fields, which makes the numbers a whole heck of a lot less useful or meaningful, frustrating at best.

    Dodgers depth looks kinda thin at the moment in the infield and outfield. They gotta be in a bidding war with the Giants for Correa right?

    Curious if the Padres are in on that too, they wanted Turner and clearly want to upgrade SS defense and move Tatis to the OF and protect his shoulder.  Correa fixes that immediately.

    I assume Chicago is insisting on Lux as the main piece here (didn't KW want to pick him in 16 with the pick they used on Burdi but he went off the board right before?). It solves cost controlled LHH 2B issue and then they have the flexibility of dealing some of those guys like Sosa, Rodriguez etc. And LAD is prolly saying no but we will give you Busch instead who is really just a 1B.

    And maybe ask for Outman and Pepiot too but then we would need to throw something else into the pot (worth about 4m in SV) to even it out. 

    Lux, Pepiot and Outman for Anderson plus something small.

    Answers my Busch query, thank you.

    How many of the worst balls made it into White Sox games?  Possible factor for the power outage?

    Well it certainly felt like way more balls than normal died on the warning track for the 2022 Chicago White Sox, maybe Jay Cuda can run some numbers on that.

    We are all Ryan McGuffey right now.

    Anyone else watch this and get the sense that there’s a big rift in the clubhouse that Hahn is attempting to resolve by trading the assholes?  It’s honestly fascinating to watch how dysfunctional this org is and how badly they botched this “rebuild.”

    What do you mean by “trade speculation”?

    Just seems to be a lot of speculation that something big is happening from a ton of accounts I follow, they're probably all foodie burner accounts to be honest.

    Bellinger is most likely just a guy going forward. Would rather they go Nimmo or Conforto for the Outfield anyways...but they probably are gonna ruin it all and let Sheets and Colas die out there 

    Is this the Conforto market setter?  I was very against a multi year Conforto deal last year, but anything under $20M for 1 year right now makes too much sense for the Sox to pass up, which of course means it won't happen.
