Bears will not move to Indiana for one simple reason. They would have to do away with their song. Youre the pride and joy of Indiana does not fit. This dispute with property taxes in Arlington Heights is a hoot. They pay $3.6 million a year right now. Nothing to them.

Schriffin acts like balls 75 feet from the wall are going over. If you don't think Jason has depth perception, what do you call the Schriff's calls?

How is it states make money building stadiums for these teams? If it is so lucrative why does the state still owe more money for Comiskey Park II and the Soldier Field renovation than the total cost of their construction?

He’ll probably play a month or two in Charlotte and get released, and we will never hear from him again. But I really don’t mind the signing, just expecting zero.

The other thing about Kelenic is as bad as he is offensively, his defense sucks as well. Its worth the minor league contract, but if the Braves and Mariners couldn't do anything for him, I'm guessing the White Sox isn't a very good bet.

That’s all true, but JR is going to be 90 in a couple of months. He might still be sharp, he might not be. He most likely isn’t as smart as he used to be.

It would be the first time a team did it 4 seasons in a row in 90 years.

As bad as Benintendi is, Kelenic is a downgrade.

Looking at the history of public funding for stadiums, I find it hard to believe Kansas isn’t going to lose money on the deal, and a ton of it. But they get the Chiefs.

There is always incentive for the state to kick in some infrastructure because the state does benefit financially from having the teams here, just by state payroll taxes, and they do tax visiting teams.

The other good news is if he is what we all hope, his contract is up 2 years from the end of the Reinsdorf regime of terror, and Ishbias voice should be even louder. Hopefully White Sox fans being conditioned to believe we can't have nice things is coming to an end. Even though they would deny it, it's hard to believe Ishbia had nothing to do with this.

O Hearn might be a better hitter than this guy ultimately, but as a Sox fan, Id much rather have the bigger gamble at this stage.

Nice gamble, although it does make you pause thar the price is that low especially with the 2027 season up in the air. At the very least, you know if he hits it it could and probably will go

I’m pretty sure you cracked the code.

I have forgotten what it’s like to root for a team that actually signs players you can expect to be good.

I don’t have season tickets anymore, but never got you free Soxfest tickets. For a while it got you about half off, but not the last several seasons I had them. Pay the man. Nom refundable. They have all sorts of payment plans. I think there is one you pay for 6 months.

I used to work with a guy named Carlos Rodriquez. We would always greet him by singing Viva Las Vegas but substituting his name for Viva Las Vegas.

Bears now threatening to leave Illinois.LMAO.

You s%*# posted me. LMAO. You are a joke.

There would be ways around it even if he was around. But keep in mind, on this board, people were praising the hiring of Paddy, kind of like your worship of Getz, who does nothing wrong, as he represented change, and that change was going to be good. Turns out it wasn’t.

SS can generally play any position other than C or P. I wouldn’t be too worried the Sox draft too many SS.

That the guy was a problem. There is no reason the team should be hamstrung by Marco Paddy until 2028 is James is correct. Another Getz blunder.

Actually, the trades that give them the pool money normally occur after most have actually signed. It does appear since Marco Paddy is now the reason the international signings suck, that it took Chris Getz, whose job was to develop these guys, so you would think he would know, 2 extra years to figure it out.

Why is it, if everything has already been determined for years and there is no one worth any spare money teams like the White Sox always have, that other teams, who do spend their money are willing to pay White Sox contracts in exchange for more pool money ? Im glad they have changed things. But they supposedly changed things when they brought in Paddy and everyone spoke of him like they do Bannister, Fuller etc. now.

Maybe instead of including money, JR could send some international bonus pool cash their way. It’s one of his favorites.
