It’s a low bar.

Morosi seems like a nice guy, but he’s really awful as an “insider”.

Not fully guaranteed.

He has been, but missing a year, who knows? Sox catchers and SS have a real good chance of hitting below the Mendoza line with not many walks. I do think the improved defense will get them a couple more wins, but they are going to be very boring.

75/700=10,7%

I agree the only way MLB allows them to leave is if another team commits to taking their place. I do also think the Cubs getting Ohtani would be quite a blow to the White Sox It is hard for me to believe thee rest of baseball doesn't see how incompetently the White Sox haveww been run, and the potential to print money is there for an owner truly committed to winning. There really is no excuse the White Sox haven't dominated their division this century. A guy who just wanted to win and hired good people, not yes men, has so many advantages over all other ALC teams.

There really hasn’t been big leaks of offers so I don’t know how you say they are using leaks to drive interest. Can you give an example? I’m guessing not. Using that logic, Ohtani is having a tough time getting legit offers. We heard he was signing before the winter meetings, then during them, then on a plane to Toronto.

Give Jerry a break. Giving Machado 8 years would have really fucked up the 2026 seasaon.

Jerry was nervous giving Michael Jordan $30 million.

These guys are getting paid too much JR. It’s a bad business. Time to get out.

How horrible.

From the piece, it wouldn't seem much, but if he's bad for a while, it will have to shrink. New team revenue from Japan. I guess the Angels were making a mint on Japanese advertising.

Maybe it's Geddy Lee.

It was, and they basically said that was minimum. Hes the closest thing to Michael Jordan MLB has had since Babe Ruth.

Yes, and Japanese advertising, and maybe even some broadcast rights. He's less a gamble at $50-60 million than several of the Padres.

I was watching something where he basically makes you at least $30 million a year just being on the roster.

Our Chuck calling Whit and his 90 wRC+ solid offense shows how bad 2B has been for 15 freaking years.

Besides getting JR to pay him, he wants to play CF. He wouldn't do that with the White Sox.

He has spent, but not consistently to sustain winning. The first sign of a dark cloud, he bails.

It seems to me that are trying to secretly rebuild. Once that surely fails, a real rebuild will occur. You can't drop payroll $50 million if you aren't anywhere near luxury tax , and call it a retool.

I think at this point, even Cubs fans would be disillusioned. Jerry has made unforced error after unforced error, with both his teams. He doesn't learn from them. He doubles down. He's lucky he's a really bright guy so he has something to fall back on, because he's nowhere near as bright as he thinks he is. The main reason the Sox rebuild failed so spectacularly was unlike all the other teams that sucked so bad they had to tear it down to the studs, they kept the idiots who made the decisions that got them into that predicament.

I don't think people realize just how bad the Tampa franchise would have been if Jerry moved the Sox there. They probably would have skipped town by now.

If you are Nashville, why would you want Jerry Reinsdorf? He's a proven failure. His only specialty is ripping off local governments, therefore, taxpayers. His teams suck. He doesn't ever really go for it. Everything is 20th century. Give me an expansion team over him 100 time over 100. They will win sooner than he will.

JR made billions running Chicago sports teams into the ground. What a dick move to at least make it appear he is flirting with Nashville.

Getz wants players like him. They are going to suck, and be very boring to watch, but their defense will keep them from losing 100. It will be over 90 though.
