Eventually, they will get to the point where they have to add veterans through trade or free agency to put them over the top. That's where I have issue. If you don't think RH or JR or KW or all three had a clue how to supplement their roster to win before, I don't know why you would think they would now. They were at point C or D trying to get to E. Now they are at point A. To me, all it does is buys them time, eventually they will have to get to point C or D again, and they have shown in the past that is where they pretty much hit a wall.

It's possible, but far from probable. If you're Machado and the White Sox and Yankees or Dodgers offer similar money, where are you going? JR is going to have to ARod or Cano it.

No. Besides 100 losses now might not get you a top 4 or 5 pick

I would like to think so but 4-23 vs. Non KC makes me wonder. I get the rebuild. But cheering for losses and draft position, will make it never ending. I wonder what the biggest 2 year win jump In MLB history is. If you are counting on 2020 to be the year the Sox dominate, they better kick it in gear soon and become just bad or you may be relying on a scale of win improvement that has never happened before.

If pitching well now is so important, why shouldn't fans be freaked out by Gio and Fulmer? All of these guys have enough stuff to be really good, but command and control seem to be an issue with all. It obviously isn't that uncommon or guys that throw 100 would never be available for next to nothing. Coop needs to fix them, or at least one of them. I think throwing strikes is probably going to be an issue with the other big name prospects as well, when it' their time.

I watched Gonzo yesterday and they were evaluating the Q/Eloy swap. He basically said the Sox win the trade if Eloy can stay on the field. Eloy, Moncada, Robert...all seem to get dinged up a lot. Usually guys get hurt more often as they age. Hopefully, these are just some flukes. Their heath is key to the rebuild.

Trump told reporters today that everyone thinks he should get a Nobel Peace Prize.

So write anything negative about Trump, have your media credentials taken away. 'Merica. Donald J. Trump ✔@realDonaldTrump The Fake News is working overtime. Just reported that, despite the tremendous success we are having with the economy & all things else, 91% of the Network News about me is negative (Fake). Why do we work so hard in working with the media when it is corrupt? Take away credentials?

The amount of doctors on this site is amazing.

Were 2 of those the ones that Obama couldn't get released even though they were captured after Trump took over.

Gio isn’t the jackass, but his motion looks a lot like Nook LaLoosh in Bull Durham

Javier Baez has a .932 OPS since April 11th with no walks.

Flu Darvish

Meseroco had 1 good year 4 years ago and got paid. Junk for junk deal.

Elon Musk should have bought naming rights for the rebuild years. Boring Park seems appropriate.

Obama should have just proclaimed he wanted the opposite of everything he wanted. All his dreams would have come true. How does this move make the world a safer place? The only reaon Trump is against it is because Obama's name is attached.

The place where the Fire play is going to be changed to SeatGeek Park.

I don't know why the Mets would do it. And really, the only reason the White Sox would do it is for the money. Shields is a guy that supposedly is really good for the young pitchers. If Kopech is getting the call, you probably want him in the clubhouse more than Harvey.

I agree with this. Just like it's laughable that it would leak out Hahn always wanted to rebuild but was overruled by KW and JR. If it was true, it being leaked would not be considered very loyal, and RH would be looking elsewhere. I It's time people just realize RH, JR and KW are in agreement.

It wasn't for lack of effort. The Cubs were in some tough financial times. Ricketts was leveraged to the hilt. The Sun Times beat guy said the bank wanted him to sell the team. He did sell a non controlling portion and got his house back in order. I would also think a team 31-31 winning 102 games two years in a row would be really rare. I always get a kick out of it though. When the Red Sox beat the Yankees in the ALCS in 2004 after trailing 3-0, the deal was they were right where they wanted to be against the White Sox down 2-0. The White Sox can't compete this year. I get that. But they better compete next year. Losing 95 games isn't going to do for you what it did in the past.

Here's a quote from Hahn a few days ago: “We want to see more effective use of the changeup in the coming starts,” Hahn said, “as well as ideally going deeper in ballgames over the next several.” So you would have to ask yourself, what changed?

Maybe rabbit is a big fan of Jose Rondon.

Edwin Jackson. They really wanted Anibel Sanchez, but he went to Detroit. And, believe it or not, they came in 2nd for one James Shields. A couple more landmines Theo avoided.

If rabbit was dreading going to the game, and then found out Matt Harvey was pitching, I can't imagine why he still would not be dreading going to the game. Harvey is a gas can.
