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.

I forgot Oscar Coals existed. Who is the DH?

Oddly this listing seems better than what they used to do when the contention was "open".

Anyone that thinks being a White Sox fan over a Padres fan is delusional. There is zero reason to be a White Sox fan currently absolutely nothing to look forward to until JR joins Virginia and Rocky. These are the same times as when the ABC line was the "big thing" for the Blackhawks.

Assets? He can't manage a single solitary thing.

Based on his inability to stay healthy he shouldn't but we shall see. As with Cease he will sell low and hope to develop the middling players they get back. Failed miserably with Cease. Hopefully we lock in the #1 pick in the 2026 lottery and there is something of value there that can be traded for a haul in 2031.

They will franchise him and trade him for a pick like they did last year with Sneed...at least that was what I heard on the radio

And he couldn't even properly manage that situation...organizations win championships is such bullshit coming from him who has won 1 in about 90 opportunities outside of MJ

Other than opening day there is no reason to even consider that package. The weather and product suck so every game is a gamble. If you have to pay to get there/park and then want to consider the most minor of concessions it is not a winning proposition.

Timing of this makes for nice tributes surrounding the game which is nice seeing as she is the daughter of NFL football and seemed like a great steward of the franchise. Wonder if there is a memorium placed on the field for her.
