Mike Clevinger under investigation for domestic violence
Think of what an idiot Clevenger must be to get himself in this situation. Besides being just a bad guy, he is as dumb as can be.

Mike Clevinger under investigation for domestic violence
The accuser has been in contact with MLB since last summer. I hate Mike Clevinger. I hate Rick Hahn. Why do I not rule out the possibility the White Sox knew all along, and knew he would eventually be suspended, and they wouldn't be liable for the the contract. All so they can say they tried, but s%*# happens?

Jason Benetti & Steve Stone back - options picked up
I think you are underestimating the pitch clock. I think it's going to make the game a lot better. I also think it's going mess with projecttions. It's going to really throw some players off and really help others.

If Pedro Grifol can get this group of often-injured free-swinging Prima Donnas to play good baseball, he'll deserve to be manager of the year
Well, if Jimmy Rollins turns back Father time, if Brett Lawrie becomes what everyone hoped he was several years ago, if Austin Jackson does the same, if Mat Latos turns into the stud he was supposed to be, if.................Oh wait, that's why the Sox started the rebuild. Looks like they are banking on the same s%*# again. I'm beginning to think the rebuild was basically so JR could bank some cash.

He also was hurt in college.

Jason Benetti & Steve Stone back - options picked up
I think Len would take the TV gig in a second if they also let him do radio during the playoffs. Pat Hughes isn't going to be knocked off. Connor McKnight? Easy call.

Your 2023 Off-Season Plan
It is amazing how the Sox always seem to have a pretty high slot in drafts that ultimately sucked.

Eloy on the who the new clubhouse leader is: "I don't know. I don't have the answer to that."
There's been times Eloy actually looks decent defensively. Of course it usually ends fairly quickly with some sort of injury. And it's 50/50 at best he throws to the correct base or a cut off man.

Your 2023 Off-Season Plan
I still think Madrigal can be a decent player if he could stay healthy. That's a pretty gigantic if at this point.

Let's make Crochet a starter?
As far as I'm concerned, it's better than spending pick #13 on Courtney Hawkins, and he supposedly fits the profile of what you are supposed to draft. I just want them to get guys that help them win, no matter what the position. And relievers are pretty valuable these days. Much more than car salesmen.

Let's make Crochet a starter?
The guy can't hold up as a reliever. How is he going to hold up as a starter?

2023 MLB offseason signings and rumors thread
Been watching MLBN lately. O'Dowd seems to think Lopez is a pretty big injury risk. The Twins rotation is pretty good right now, but they really don't have an ace. Quite a few #3 guys though.

If I'm trading Arraez, I'd want more than Lopez.

Lance Lynn has a new trick
I laughed when Steve Stone insisted Lynn did everything he could to pitch 200 innings, including being in top physical condition. I think Steve knows the game, and sometimes he is really good. But he thinks the audience is just a bunch of total idiots.

I wonder if Shelley will be putting guys with 1-2 counts on first base.

Liam Hendriks is cancer free
They sell SUX stuff outside of Wrigley, but then again, Cubs fans don't even think about the Sox. LOL.

Giolito revamped mechanics
This change wasnt just a whim after struggling. A biomechanics assessment this offseason revealed misfiring in his delivery, and a throwing program reintroducing plyometric balls with focus on “getting everything back in sync, my whole kinetic chain” is going well. He's got his kenetic chain in sync. Look out AL.

Giolito revamped mechanics
You only have at most 10 months to worry about Gio as a White Sox.

Giolito revamped mechanics
He’s been working with som pretty advanced things. I wouldn’t be too nervous. He wouldn’t change if it didn’t make him better. BTW, they had Eloy on MLBN today. He looks good. Yonder Alonso was interviewing him. He looks 70 lbs. lighter than Yonder.

2023 MLB offseason signings and rumors thread
Which is reminiscent of the team's strategy before the rebuild. Mired in mediocrity. Hahn was correct about something. Having the same fools in charge, doing the exact same thing, shouldn't surprise anyone. If they were serious about winning, RH and KW would have been shown the door.

Gary Sanchez Twitter rumor
I've never really understood these fake insiders. Maybe you get something from someone once and you post it, and you get enough people to think youre an insider, but if you really aren't, what's the motivation?

Soxtalk was down; Back up
Soxtalk is out as much as Sox core players.

Sox with "plenty of money" left in Jan 15 international pool
International signing day turns out to be just as exciting as the trade deadline and Winter Meetings for White Sox fans.
-
Gary Sanchez Twitter rumor
I think the issue is if Grandal can't bounce back and at least be a regular, is Seby and his mostly impossible to maintain numbers good enough to be a regular. Is Perez ready to be a regular. Chances are, the answer to those questions is no. I

Great, another talking point for RH.
