So many people here said keep him until the trade deadline. I was on the trade him for whatever you can get in the offseason train because I only saw his value diminishing the longer they held on to him. There’s at least a 50/50 chance he goes the way of Moncada. By that I mean finishes this season with the Sox and they decline to pick up his option for next season, getting nothing in return for him. He’s brutal at the plate now.

Sure? The longer they hold on to him the more I think he goes the way of Moncada.

That’s pretty generous. It looks worse to me, at least to start the season.

I agree with that but my point was that the valuation is on the decline with the way Jerry is operating it and if he continues down this path a $1.5B sale price is possible in a few years.

Forbes had the White Sox valuation at $2.05B last year and now the shareholders are valuing the franchise at around $1.8B? Seems to me the valuation is declining. As I said a couple months ago, it wouldn’t surprise me if the franchise value is around $1.5B by the time Jerry sells out..

I would have liked this signing for the Sox so that they don’t feel obligated to rush Montgomery and/or roster a bum like Amaya. Also, Dejong has flip potential as I wouldn’t mind another prospect like Jarold Rosado in return come July.

God, I would have killed for that return. Organization would be in a much better position today if they had pulled that off.

You’re spot on. I was one of the few advocating the Sox trade Robert last winter and was told the idea was ridiculous by most here.

It’ll be a success if they avoid 121 losses, a minor miracle if they avoid 100.

I certainly wouldn’t count on that

He can’t hit. Has nothing to do with his defense.

Alienating a generation of fans tends to have a long lasting impact on a fanbase. I’m highly skeptical your last sentence is valid but, at this rate, we might not test this theory for another decade.

He was a good defender at SS in 2024. No clue what you’re smoking

I didn’t say he is but you said “metrics that helped him at 2b would kill him at SS.” False
