DeJong sucks. He won't make it through the season without being released.

THUS ends the Justin Fields era.

He pitched 7 less innings in 2023 than 2022 and had 13 less strikeouts. So his stuff is still plenty good.

The funny thing is before Michael, the Bulls couldn't draw flies unless they were winning.

Since MJ left the Bulls, they are around 200 games below .500, and the Sox, even with a WS are around 50 below .500. Sell the teams JR, the industry has moved way past you. His entire legacy is built upon one player, a player he couldn't wait to leave so he could prove it was him. Something was proven, but not what JR wanted.

Never forget.

Gene Lamont was a good manager.

Maybe if the Bulls bring all these guys back next year, then it may work. What an idiotic organization. Since they couldn’t wait to start fresh without MJ so THEY would get more credit for championships, 191 games below .500 and no finals appearances.

i just want someone to get Getz to admit JR didn't know what he was talking about and this is indeed another re-build. I just hope they don't tout this signing. The guy was released twice last year.

Brett Lawrie and Jimmy Rollins was a better combo. That didn’t work out so well. Hope they get something decent for Cease and Eloy or they are going to be horrendous until JR gets out.

OK. Yet the Rangers traded for Chapman. Clevinger had been hurt. Made 1 start. His money was that of a guy making $30 million a year at that point. Does this mean Clevinger is done in the major leagues? LMAO. It's so funny what you ignore when you know you are wrong but won't admit it.

Fields looks like a HOFer the first drive.

He’s 7th in fWAR for starters in MLB the last 3 years. He won’t make 9 million next year. He will bring back a lot.

What kind of “haul” would you expect for a guy like Bummer? Middle releiver with a 6.79 ERA owed a minimum of $6:75 million usually don’t get you a slew of top prospects.

Where was it reported he got a big bump? Also, his contract lets him miss 35 games. He missed 35 White Sox games in 2023. What is the greater flexibility?

Missed on this day in history 11/7–White Sox fail to extend qualifying offer to Carlos Rodon. To this day, I could never understand this.

No they wouldn’t. The biggest flaw with the Sox rebuild is one everyone here noticed from the get go. The same dopes that got you to the point you needed a total rebuild after a decade , using their own words, mired in mediocrity, were the chosen ones to lead the team out of the abyss. The more trades they made, the worse they would have become. Perhaps the best player they did get in the rebuild now is Dane Dunning. I bet the Sox would take him back now.

Funny how Michigans stance has quickly changed over their cheating.

These trades usually don’t work out as well as one would hope. Hahn actually did much better trading Eaton, Q and Sale than most others trading their controlled stars for prospects and at the end of the day there wasn’t one player most of this board didn’t turn on at some point. The Sox most successful rebuild during JRs time was done by Larry Himes. He kept Fisk and Guillen. Turned out pretty wise.

Why would you want that? Most of this board hates Moncada abd would love to see Kopech gone as well. When you have a guy like Robert, you keep him until it makes no sense not. You can't get a guy with his talent with 4 years of control at his pay rate.

These pitchers are the types the Sox are going to have tobhit on once in a while. Their system has no acr type guys. They don't have the prospect currency to trade for one, and they aren't signing one for what JR will pay.

To me he is by far the most interesting. Still young, had the two Achilles injuries like Burger. Was a top 25 prospect before he had a great season, then got hurt. Was pretty good in AAA last season.

I don’t know what else the Sox could have received for Bummer. If someone could get him to throw a few more strikes, he might be really good again, but it was time the Sox unloaded him. Soroka is a guy who if he was non tendered I would have loved the Sox to take a shot. Not a fan of Lopez but at least he can catch the ball. Hopefully a couple of these guys work out.

Yeah the JR cannot waste a year then cutting payroll is not putting his money where his mouth is. Most, if not all of these guys are going to suck, Bummer will probably be a bit better with Atlanta, but I don’t hate this trade, although Lopez will probably get too much playing time.

2 years of control. Great in 2022, not so great in 2023, but his last 4 or 5 starts he seemed like that guy again. Boras his agent, no chance to win now, it’s time to deal him. Of course it should cost a lot to get him. If others are unwilling, then keep him.
