I think Fields is plenty quick. He just doesn’t have the instinct to take off. Maybe it is because he doesn’t want to be labeled a run first QB or something else. But with this offense, he either hangs in and gets killed, or takes off and doesn’t develop. Lose Nagy, lose Pace. Bring in someone who puts an emphasis on the offensive line which the Bears have been neglecting for years. Fix that, and they could bring John Fox back with his 1980s offense, and he would look like a guru compared to Nagy.

His sons have a group buying up White Sox shares, and they will be the executors when JR checks out. Looks like the people they have financing their purchasing are the next shareholders of the team with either both or one of the Reinsdorf in charge. as I have posted many years ago, I worked with someone who did business with Michael, and knew him fairly well. At least then, Michael wanted to run the White Sox, and told the person I know, that there were some things he would do a lot differently than his father. His first few years with the Bulls it seemed like more of the same, but maybe JR still being there had an effect. I won’t give him too much credit for sending GarPax packing. Didn’t Pax concede it probably was time for a change? I guess what I am getting at is, good or bad, it is hard to judge how Michael will be if JR is still involved. I do know back in the day he was for a little more risk with payrolls, and trying to get more attractions surrounding the park. Things they could build in parking lots.

I think it's very hard to believe they lucked their way to 3 cups. There was some solid scouting and development going on back then. Maybe they got lazy from it and stopped doing what made them great. But Bowman has to go, if not for anything but the sex abuse case.

This is silly. The White Sox just have to play better in October.it doesn't matter how many games the win the ALC by. BTW, Houston was 19-16 vs the ALC. Lost the season series to KC, DET and MiN. How did they make the WS? The problem was despite being reasonably hot at the end of the regular season, they just didn't have it vs Houston. A play here, a play there, maybe a different story, but the starting pitching was awful. The offense wasn't there except for 1 game.

Bryant still puts up good numbers, but they have been down since his peak. He seems like a guy you may regret giving a long term deal fairly soon. There just is something about him that makes me think you always will expect more.

Bulls have been a lot of fun. But 2 games against the Pistons and one vs a Zion less NO, isn't exactly a challenge. Hope they can keep it up vs halfway decent teams so there is something interesting to watch in Chicago before next baseball season.

He needs 2 negative tests 24 hours apart to return. If it's a false positive he should be back, but if not I think it takes a while to leave your system. Most of the real quick comebacks were false positives or close contacts.

Brady threw his 600th TD pass yesterday. The receiver didn’t know and gave it to a guy who was wearing his jersey in the end zone stands. They negotiated a new game used ball and a $1000 gift card to the teams gift shop. If you are ever in this situation, hold out. The ball has an estimated worth of $500,000 according to an auctioneer.

To me, Kopech will be in a similar situation next season to what Rodon was in this year.

It seems a little too convenient that he tests positive now. Takes some heat off him, and gives the McCaskeys a little glimpse of how the rest of the season would go if they did the right thing , something that was obvious long ago, and canned him.

The may have bungled the attempted hire, but it doesn’t answer the question why talking to him would be tampering, and why they would call JR for permission in the first place.Maybe they need to contact him to tell him they plan to pursue him first, which makes sense, so maybe that is why it is technically tampering. And if it truly is a promotion, you would have to be pretty petty to keep someome in a job when they would rather be somewhere else. But I am more than sure contact that is technically tampering occurs with every team every year.

We need something new to complain about.

That’s all fine and dandy but it doesn’t explain why they would call JR to ask permission if they don’t need it. And if you don’t need it, why would reaching out to KW be tampering? We also know every team, including the White Sox more than likely tampers to some extent.

So the Sox should have picked up all 4 of these guys. Who should they have cut? Do you have any posts other than hindsight showing how obvious this move was?

The Sox aren't responsible for the other teams in their division, and if they are so awful, the playoffs will be a lay up.

They have made the playoffs the last 2 seasons . Is the window closed?

How come everyone failed except the Braves with Eddie Rosario? How come no Soxtalk expert said the Sox should pick him up?

Acvording to this board,, payoffs are all random except if it's the White Sox. That's why 4 WAR in 93 games catchers actually suck. It's why the Sox RF issue was easily solved by getting an injured Eddie Rosario if the front office had any brain. In the end, the playoffs are so random anyone can win. The 2005 White Sox were 11-1, but if a ball doesn't go through Tony Grafininos legs and ElDuque pitches like he did the rest of the season, they probably lose in the ALDS. Try to shore up the deficiencies, but every team has them. Just hope the team is hot and things break your way in the playoffs. It didn't happen this year. But they should be a playoff team for at least a couple more years.

So the Sox went through a total rebuild to have a 1 year window. It was 2021 or bust. The team will be better in 2022 than it was in 2021, breaking several Soxtalk posters hearts.

He made one of the most miraculous comebacks ever, not just to play, but to play in the major leagues. And he held his own, enough where I can't imagine most teams wouldn't think he didn't have a productive future. Your post is vile. It shows you aren't a White Dox fan, just someone who wants to complain about something. It also shows what an incredibly small person you are.

Sheets was really good, but I would caution on relying on him. Didn't Nicky Delmonico do about the same thing when he was called up? Although ir does seem Sheets hits the ball a lot harder.

When I look back at last offseason it's amazing how just about everything didn't matter If the Sox kept Renteria or signed Hinch instead of Tony, they win the division and lose in the ALDS. If they sign any RF other than Springet, same thing. If Rodon went somewhere else, as great as he was, same thing. If they don't trade for Lynn, same thing. Although if they didn't do that he probably wouldn't be available for a 2 year offer. It probably would have made things closer and maybe Cleveland doesn't make Cesar available to the Sox and they have to settle for Escobar.

Is that really true? JR denied the Blue Jay's a chance to interview KW to be their president. He is a Senior VP with the White Sox.

Matrix Maldonado had 7, Christian Vazquez had 10. Reading this board you would think Grandal has 3 or 4 a game.

The Sox were barely .500 with anyone else but Grandal behind the plate, and won 93 games this year. How’s that for an eye test? Grandal is not a problem.
