Abreu return? Zero percent chance
Back when the White Sox originally signed Jose, the Red Sox were trying to sign him as a 3B.

Abreu return? Zero percent chance
On the MLBN White Sox offseason preview, Yonder said the key to the White Sox snapping back next year is Abreu coming back. Oh well.

White Sox interested in Athletics Catcher Sean Murphy
Yay is here one more year. Yes he sucked in 2022; but it makes no sense to waive him now. See what he looks like in the spring. He is working hard right now. I don’t know if Murphy is the answer given the Cost, but the Sox could use a catcher. I say trade Seby if you can. It would be trading high. He hit, does anyone really expect that to continue. I say get a guy like Barnhart who will be pretty cheap, and does everything well but hit and run. He wouldn’t kill you if he had to start 85 times. See where Yaz is at in AZ. If he still has some gas, fine, if not, waive him then.

If you trade for a guy named Outman and all he does is make outs, you deserve what you are going to get,

Jim Bowden: Sox top 5 likeliest to sign judge
I don't boo White Sox players, no matter how awful they are, but I booed Navarro. A total bum. He once complained after a game about run support. He gave up 9 runs. Schueler did get redemption though. He traded him for Eldred and Valentin. I can't believe the Brewers fell for it.

He faced the Tigers. He sucks. He's expensive. He's older. He won't stay healthy. He is a waste of money. Thanks Tony.

Adam Engel likely non-tender
My sources are telling me Vince Velasquez won't be back. Of course, unless something changes.

I'd love to be able to be paid to be that stoned.

AJ Pollock declines option, becomes FA
AJ gave the Sox and Sox fans a gift. Thank you. The surprising thing is, he was one guy that held up physically. Usually he is guaranteed a lot of down time. 3 of the past 4 seasons he's put up less than a 1 WAR. I don't think he's making any money here.

Your 2023 Off-Season Plan
I'd like to have someone with some defensively ability myself. Don't know how Grandal will hold up, and think Seby's offense was a mirage.

I'd buy low on Tucker Barnhardt. Not as a regular, but he would be a pretty decent back up.

What does he man by WST?

His legs are impressive. I can't wait until he has a better line, and another weapon or two. 3rd and 12, he doesn't have to complete a pass to move the chains. If he can be a somewhat consistent passer, it's hard to see how he won't be the best Bears QB ever.

The espn.com way too early power rankings. Not too fond of the Chairman. 17. Chicago White Sox 2022 record: 81-81 (second in the AL Central) 2022 final ranking: 16 There are excuses to consider -- Luis Robert, Tim Anderson and Eloy Jimenez all missed significant time with injuries -- but the disappointing season was mostly the result of too many subpar performances on a roster that didn't have quality depth to survive a few injuries. On the bright side, four-fifths of the rotation returns with Dylan Cease perhaps the preseason AL Cy Young favorite after going 14-8 with a 2.20 ERA and 227 strikeouts in 184 innings. Lucas Giolito (4.90 ERA) needs to figure out what went wrong, and Michael Kopech has to pitch deeper into games after averaging less than five innings per start. The lineup still needs some left-handed balance, and Yoan Moncada needs to bounce back (although his big 2019 season looks more and more like a juiced-ball fluke). The biggest problem, however, might be owner Jerry Reinsdorf and his unwillingness to spend a few extra pennies to, you know, try to win the World Series.

Pedro Grifol named White Sox manager; Katz asked to return per Rosey
Jose's comments during spring training seems to indicate the Sox let him know back then how this was most likely to go down.

The State of the Sox...
TA is pictured on a lot of the advertising pushing for 2023 ticket plans. He isn't going anywhere unless someone offers something too crazy to say no.

White Sox introduce a new manager today. Crickets.........
The blue ones are the same as my old high school uniform, even with the white pinstripe pants. And we were the Knights as well.

Tosar hired as Hitting Coach
Supposedly it has evolved. Aooarently all the anti Greg Walker people had no idea he , accourding to them, was way ahead of his time.

Just get most of these guys back to where they were pre-Tony, and it will be fun again.

Tosar hired as Hitting Coach
I’m excited about the hire. Obviously most of what any of us can go by is his press conference, and anyone not impressed with that, wouldn’t be impressed with anyone else.

I don’t know what happened, but Fields suddenly looks like he should have gone 1-1 when he was drafted. Don’t want to jinx it but Ryan Pace might have done something good.

I agree with that. They have to hit homers.
