Penn Murfee is a new piece of the White Sox bullpen. Jimmy Lambert and Matt Foster are now free agents. At the very least, it's a good name for a reliever.

I'm still going crazy over DVD players.

In a way he was wrong. They aren't underaged. They just claim to be. There are suspicions Jose Abreu is a bit older than his listed age. How would anyone know? i saw a picture of Jose Contreras in 1982. He didn't look 11 years old.

I'm sure there are tons of guys playing right now with fake dates of birth. I bet every team has several in their organization.

I saw something that blew my mind. Jake Eder is older than Juan Soto.

Shocking really. 3 years ago, if someone said there was a decent chance Eloy and TA would be done by the end of 2024, even the biggest pessimists would have laughed.

Yeah the Yankees were clearly so poorly coached they played in the World Series.

This is the 2013 White Sox. If you want to pin their sucking on Robin Ventura, I will counter and say the roster was a bit problematic when it came to winning. https://www.baseball-reference.com/teams/CHW/2013.shtml

If Katz figured out Kopech, why didn't he let your guy Getz know before he gave him away for nothing? For all the things you somehow think the White Sox do right, 61-101 and 41-121 then stare you down.

Didn’t the Yankees pass on Flaherty at the deadline? If he wins tonight, that should be a fireable offense.

Who did your boy get for Jake Cousins? He picked Bryan Shaw.

If that rumor is even possibly true, how can you have any faith in building a team with the 10th pick? Is there anyone in the Sox minor leagues that actually projects to being a decent hitter in the major leagues? They better get some hitters for Crochet. The messed up with Fedde. Made a nice signing to get him, then blew it.

Thinking the White Sox are going to build a contender through the draft and trades is a fantasy with the current braintrust.

So you're saying because of Shirley, the Sox should have the same success at 10 they would have had at 1, like the other teams you had mentioned? If Shirley is that great, I can't wait for the big Jacob Gonzalez break out. FYI, since 2017, the #10 pick has a cumulative negative career WAR.

We don't know if that is true. He did turn down an interview with the Mets last year. He may have been offered the Marlins job, but speculation is the Cleveland guy has a history with their GM. I think he was the best available, so that's good. The White Sox should be offering a ton of autonomy, but who knows?

Especially with the anti-tank rules now enforced. 10th pick instead of 1st is a huge hit.

Venable's brother played for the Bears.

I don't think anyone is fooling themselves. They are going to suck for a while. But we do know what happens when they hire an idiot brown nose.

No they are not. But getting the right guy here will help, eventually.

Of the candidates out there, he definitely seemed the best. The Cleveland bench coach seemed OK, To me, if it was a tie, Venable would get my pick because he recently played. Maybe not a huge deal, but players seem to respond to it. He's basically an ivy League educated Grady Sizemore, with a lot more coaching experience.

The White Sox don’t pay for upkeep and improvements, and when the ISFA took on the Bears Reno, they had to mess around with their bonds. This will be the same problem only 5 to tenfold if the state caves and builds both new stadiums.

And there really is no hope on the horizon for a relatively quick fix. The catcher will help the catcher offensive numbers, but rookie catchers usually don’t hit much. Montgomery leaves a bunch of doubt.

They got the White Sox for 13 games. If it were 6, they were probably screwed.

I’m sure they do. He is under contract through next season.

He said the hold up now is with the NBA.
