There must have been a lot of investors telling JR it’s time He’s gone from telling us his son will be forced to sell to out of towners because he owes the investors the best deal,, and that is not in this area, to this. LOL.

He will probably have him over for a caps and stems, bumps and bats party celebrating his windfall.

They deleted the diluted word from the original article. They aren’t creating new shares, just offering that amount for anyone who wants out.

Most at this point, inherited their shares, and would rather just have the money. Part owner of the White Sox doesn’t have the same cache it had 20 years ago.

As long as JR is around, he is going to have control. But why would you give up a bid to be the majority owner of an MLB team and have full control for anon conrrolling interest in another? He must have assurances he next up. Now, will JR sell why he's alive? I wouldn't think so unless there is someway he can offset his capital gains with capital losses. Maybe that 1901 project helps him there.

I can admit I have no plumbing talent. In fact, I hate things like replacing water heaters and roofs. Hate clearing snow, hate cutting grass. So wr live in a condo and have all that stuff done for us.

Yankees are going to allow well-groomed beards.

Someone better give him a wellness check.

2 dead giveaways how bad this signing is. WestEddy would endorse Bozo the Clown at SS if Getz signed him. He's stayed away. And TaylorStreet, the guy who hasn't left his mom's basement since Jose Valentin was playing SS, endorses it fully. It has to be terrible.

Fat chance.

Can't flip him for anything. He's always hurt. Do you really want him around your young pitchers? Even Westeddy hasn't tried to spin this one.

That's assuming he would have come back. Last year really sucked for everyone. If you have other options, anywhere else may seem a better choice.

Its like chunky sometimes at the one by me.

I agree. I used to love their beefs. Now it's only like it was about half the time.

Looks like most got this hire right.

Thank God the Orioles fired him, so the White Sox now have a hitting guru. All you need for more bat speed is a better coach. If Getz selects coaches and front office staff like he does players, they might not be .500 until JR is gone.

It seems like a freebie to me. Has an option left, and since just about everyone has already passed on him, the Sox probably can get him through waivers if they want the roster spot.

Until they really want change, and that would have included an exhaustive search to find the best GM, catch up is all they will ever play.

Most of this I would agree with if they were replacing him with another young guy or a real RF or real CF if Robert goes. I just don’t see the point of these retreads at this time. They aren’t getting flipped for anything. They aren’t going to lead the team to the playoffs. I just don’t see the logic in moving on from a younger guys who didn’t because he didn’t get it done last year to older guys who didn’t get it done last year.

He has 900 plate appearances in AAA and an .837 OPS. Sending him back down does no good. He’s 27. Time to sink or swim.

Michael A. Taylor was a turd last year. In fact, pretty much all the free agents the White Sox signed last year were turds. It was the reason they were signed. I’d rather give Fletcher, who has hit everywhere until last year, a bigger shot. If he fails, he fails, so what? If he does hit, Westeddy can bow to his Chris Getz shrine. All these other guys are 1 year or under, most probably under, and if you think they will command a decent prospect at the deadline…….

I was in the keep Robert camp, but I didn’t anticipate 121 losses. That’s 40 under being average which would mean you are at least 2 or 3 years from actually competing . 3 or 4 least year, and if he played like the star he could be, there is no way JR would pay him. So you would have him for 1 year of contention at most, and Chris Getz said after the fact that 110 losses in 2024 wouldn’t have surprised him, so he knew the score or is lying.

This is the time to see what you have, not sign washedup vets to take their ABs away. Taylor is obviously better defensive, but if you're trying to do your pitchers a favor, you still have to score runs. As I mentioned earlier, Tommy Pham performed at least as well as expected last year. In what way did the White Sox ultimately benefit by giving those ABs to him and not DeLoach and Fletcher? Considering your make them earn it edict, are you OK if Montgomery is the Openimg Day SS, or should they bring in another washed-up ver?

Why has Michael A. Taylor shown at this stage of his career he deserves a spot on the team?

LMAO. You have issues with people complaining and not trusting a team that has lost 222 games the last 2 years. You do it almost every post. You’ve been far more wrong than right.
