There are 28 baseball franchises who would trade spots with the Yankees. I wish that were the Sox, even if we got swept by the Dodgers.

The fact that JR is finding out that Chicago is not going to bend over backwards on the new stadium is why I believe JR will sell the team. He is going to let the new owner fight the battle.

Vaughn sucks. Time to move on.

I am resigned to the fact that we are stuck with Sizemore. McCullough would make too much sense, so we can forget about it.

I really hope the next manager gets the right to choose his coaching staff and that he cleans house.

Because it's the Chicago White Sox.

Pretty sure there were reports that Hahn did not want Griffol. That he was Getz guy.

The problem does start at the top. JR is the biggest issue in the organization. If he truly wanted to win, he would fire Getz this off-season. Getz hired Grifol. This was his guy. Hold him accountable for the hire and for his horrible off-season and trade deadline moves. But we know it's not going to happen.

Fair point.

What's Sandy Alomar doing these days?

Pedro would find a way to mismanage booking the vacation.

Great points. Pretty hard for anyone to replace Tom Brady. I was simply pointing out that interpersonal skills does not preclude someone from being a successful manager.

You brought up interpersonal skills as being important to be a successful manager. I countered with someone with horrible interpersonal skills that had plenty of success. Pretty simple.

See Bill Belichick.

The Onion is still a thing?

He was recently interviewed by the Sun Times and he said he would be open to returning to baseball as a GM or advisor. He never once said he wants to come back to the Sox though. Not sure the intention of the OP.

I feel for TA. A fan favorite and someone who I enjoyed cheering for. His fall is crazy. Wish him the best.

Ah, gotcha. Sorry about that.

Getz is not going anywhere.

Gordon Beckham, it's your turn on the Price is Right!

Chicago Tribune published an in-depth investigation into the culture at Guaranteed Rate. Pretty negative claims are being alleged by multiple ex-employees. I can't imagine the Sox are very pleased. Could a name change be coming sooner rather than later?

The fans didn’t get a chance because of his decision not to play. The Sox tried and he didn’t want to give the fans the opportunity to say thanks.

Last Year, every game they lost was the end of the world for Grifol? I guess he's embraced losing now.

No thanks. He is running AEW to the ground.

The amount of vitriol the Burger trade received was of epic proportions. Yes, he would be an everyday player on the Sox roster. Doesn't change the fact that he isn't that good.
