Dick Allen

It would have been a bigger win if he just non tendered him to begin with.

I always like Naylor as a player, and finding out he stole 30 bases with the 2nd slowest sprint speed in MLB, made me appreciate him even more, but there is no way that body ages well.

Apparently the 2026 draft has a no brainer #1 pick. It's time the lottery goes their way

He's trying to go full NFL model. I'm sure he knows it won't happen.

Funny thing is, the current park is much better in every way than it was when it was built to JRs specifications.

After he was DFA'd by the BoSox.

It's been the White Sox way for decades.

I'm starting to question if LaRussa is around and has much pull anymore. You would think if he was, Schriffen would be slurping him.

Maybe Clevinger is going to pivot into coaching.

Bochy

No but stuff leaks out and this is a huge turnover. I get letting him have his own guys, but they didn’t even let LaRussa have his own guys. Besides, if these guys all were great, they would have kept them. So there had to be issues other than Venable didnt know them. He does now.

You’re probably correct, but Wise was a holdover, but maybe Venable knew him. It is interesting because there never was a hint of anything but satisfaction with the coaching staff by both Venable and Getz.

Weird that both the assistant pitching coach and assistant hitting coach are still around.

Burgeios and Butera also gone. Sizemore offered another job in the organization. Sergio Santos sent packing as well.

One of Getz' biggest errors was not firing Pedro sooner. They obviously would have still been last, but a month or two earlier, they don't set the loss record. That more than covers the extra cost.

Still, a D average gets you a sheepskin. Getz should be going into his Junior year, but is still a Freshman to me.

Gordon Beckham 2009 vs. Gordon Beckham the rest of his career. Montgomery looks like a keeper now, his HR rate could be cut in half and it's still high, but things happen.

Exactly. .413 is a 95 loss season after the cherry pick.

I agree. Everyone playing well and you still lose. He got the job because JR needed something fast. He took over a 101 loss team. Now its a 102 loss team. Not good. They win more games next year and Schultz and Smith rebound, he can get a better grade, but right now it's F, although I really like Teel.

Last year they won 5 out of the last 6 to get to 41. Schriffen basically says almost every player is finishing the year strong. If they are all playing well and they are 2-12; this nightmare will never end.

Hopefully, but the one thing we know about pitching is some of those guys have been hurt, some will get hurt. Recoveries vary.

10 games worse than the next worse team in the AL, and that team traded half there roster at the deadline. Great hire JR. Can't waste a year.

They make such a big deal about winning games now giving them confidence and momentum for next season. Last year they won 5 of their last 6.

Fried vs. Ellard/Cannon Is one of the biggest mismatches of the season.

Cannon is just awful. Hope he has a decent winter.
