Fletcher trade showed Getz hiring of guy from AZ was a mistake Cease trade showed that Getz could not evaluate talent and is over his head WTF was the Janikowski experience this past week Getz will show Jerry all the great things that have happened in the minors and JR will eat it up Vaughan, Nicky 2 strikes and Jacob Gonzalez.....that is all you need to know. There is no skillset to any of those three guys that shows MLB talent.

I was a whatever on him from day 1 but what's his purpose now if he's not a multi inning mop up guy

Wouldn't insurance cover that? I assumed it would eventually be repaired.

What did he buy it for and what did he sell it for? Sports franchises are not money making ventures they are investments.

Earned runs but the point still shows how different the game has become. Has any of the four gotten through 6? I was there Thursday and can't recall.

Almost as bad as the Cease trade

I caught slaters HR and made in memoriam video. Today was a good day

Anderson and Moncada will end going 8-20 with 2 home runs and 9 driven in for the series and never be heard from again Trout will resurrect MVP chat and then be on the IL a week from now

North, McNeil and Bernstein drew listeners at their peak and were great on the air. All self destructed in different manners. Bernstein was done in by his narcissism. I thought his ratings were really good. I did not like that I liked to listen to him at times as while he is an egomaniac it did not feel like you were listening to dead air. I'm in the camp that it was probably a money issue with Audacy and they found a way out.

He's going to be a problem

The 4 classes waters things down greatly. Brother Rice was a nice team but not something that I thought would be a state champ. The IHSA has kind of killed the feel of being special but I guess it is high school sports and that isn't necessarily the goal.

Poles drafted a punter in two of the last three drafts. His drafting resume outside of Caleb needs to improve.

Yes not sure what year you got out of Rice but players at that time knew the team was a joke and elected to not play. Nowadays sports are more important to schools and there is a level of importance put into them that there was not in years past.

Not for the team that invested the draft capital in him. RB seems to be a crapshoot and their success is predicated on the scheme and line as much as pure talent.

Hoping this is a lot of smoke to warrant a trade down or have someone trade up. I appreciate the RB position but the volatility is crazy and an RB at #10 seems crazy. Trade down to 15-17 grab a pick and I can live with that. Does the RB second contract with the team ever pay off?

The intramural champs would have beaten the varsity team when I was there. I am not joking in the least bit and the game wouldn't have been close.

I am going to Opening Day for the 36th straight year based solely on this possibility.

Funny thing the media isn't letting them off the hook with the JR carrott mentality. They are doing enough to stay in the race for that division.

Sounds like where Crochet was a year ago. I still don't think Crochet hits 100 innings in a season again.

1994 says hello

If Reinsdorf needs White Sox cash flow similar to the McCaskey's with the Bears a 2027 prolonged lockout hurts them and may what be what JR is lining up in hedging his bet and handing off the risk of lost revenue/equity in exchange for control. Locally looking at the cubs and 2027 lost revenue that seems to be in their sites. It's not the cubs operations that takes the ht it is the Lakeview investments from lost games. A second time in 7 years of biblical losses.

Here is a conspiracy theory.....this was in the works a couple years back hence the bottoming out of investment in the team. It was not moving fast enough and JR's bluff was called with the Twins and now here we are. Poor Twins fans.

I have not read all of this thread but this is what Chicago media needs to communicate properly. Reinsdorf can retain his stakehold and receive guaranteed returns from Ishbia in an arrangement where Ishbia has control. Ishbia has interest in Chicago and can sway support at levels and with communities that Reinsdorf cannot. Jerry has his hand out and wants to risk nothing. Ishbia and build on what Jerry has failed whether in Bridgeport, Michael Reese or south Loop. He is a very rich, poor mans Steve Cohen. He can be what Ricketts was supposed to be. He can do to Chicago sports what no other owner is interested in, winning. He has to be a hell of a salesman to get where he is and to unleash that in Chicago is desperately needed right now.

He is a major league arm. I would guess 90% of real fans couldn't care less. I had to look up who Slater was as I forgot all about him. The White Sox are so far in the rearview mirror I am not certain Bauer would negatively impact them

Aren't they unavailable on the single largest cable provider in Chicago. Unfortunately I have access to them.
