They are $1 million to $1.5 million free agent signings. The league knows they suck.

If your job hinged on these guys being successful, it's pretty much guaranteed you will need a resume.

They can’t draft any higher than 10th in 2027 most likely, so they should at least try to put something together that is not embarrassing.

He’s the hottest minor league pitching coach candidate the world has ever seen. The White Sox beat everyone out because this guy wants to work with the great Chris Getz. Just ask Westeddy.

LaRussa's WS team won 83 games. 83 seems like a lot with all the celebrating you do for 60. Not only that, knock fans who think 60 wins really sucks.

But this, your next post, did: You would have argued with it, anyway. Sure, Francona was more coveted than Venable.

Really? There were 3 openings last offseason. He was the second hired. The first one was Terry Francona. I think he's probably a better manager than Wil Venable. Not only that, but they only had to beat out the Marlins.

That’s a lot of junk off the 40.

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.

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.
