Exactly. Keeping guys who may be on the 40 man in 2026 healthy should be the priority while having short timers eating innings. There isn't any reason to even play this month, but they have to field a team. It's like the NFL pre season.

I'd like to see the details and the assumptions in their models, wouldn't you?

Until you look down on the field.

ROI. The return on investment for parking lots is relatively quick and they are easy to pivot and create a new development if necessary. Also no long-term expensive maintenance and upkeep. Attracting investors to buy land and make minimal improvements isn't as hard as finding investor money for a stadium.

Absolutely correct. The only decision is when. I believe a GM might take a chance that the team's lack of success is the issue and that a rebound is highly likely. But even then no where near what we would have expected a couple years ago. Also the longer you wait to trade him the less time you have for any prospects to be MLB ready.

We should remember that all sorts of incentives are given to "greedy mega developers" every day by local, regional, state, and federal governments. It all happens under the banner of economic development. With the revenue structure in baseball these stadiums are really just TV studios for an unscripted reality show.

Agreed. But I'm not certain that even if it was a world series season, that the average taxpayer would support it. It also hurts that the majority of taxpayers aren't baseball fans and could easily think hey, we already have one team, do we really need two? Only baseball fans really understand.

I think it's also the position of most voters.

With the White Sox attendance trend could they partner with CPS and build a state of the art high school stadium and just share?

There are a bunch of guys eating innings so we don't rush anyone to Chicago before they are ready. Salaries are crazy the one year average is more than most people earn in a lifetime.

I hate to hear that. I have some great memories of getting my driver's license and heading to games. He was the guy.

Please let's keep it civil.

I get new and nicer but I'll be a little sad when the team moves. Although what happens to the Soldier Field site could change my feelings.

Temporarily closed. Thank you.

I believe there is a parenting subreddit y'all could argue these points. Let's get this back to the crap baseball player he was and how everyone in the organization who thought bringing him back was a good idea should be fired.

I'm a general, universal, every franchise in baseball conversation. How bad of a mess does a GM have to inherit until he deserves a couple seasons to fix it?

We just need a could guys to come back from injuries plus starter that can play an entire season. That will get us to 50 wins.

Let's just assume everything they do is a franchise record.

It's been so long since I logged in on my television I forgot my MLB password.

I think it is really what rules and where is he drawing lines. Ignoring a coach sexually abusing players to win? I think we're all against that. Hiring a player who has legal troubles and questionable moral practices to win? Some will say yes, a lot of fans will say no. Not signing pitchers to long contracts and things start to get more against him with fans. We used to think he would never pay two managers or fire one mid season. At one point many fans thought locking TA into a 12 years contract was the smart thing to do. But his cheap ass wouldn't. While I'm not convinced a new owner, after financing what will be a billion dollar plus acquisition of the Sox, would also double the payroll, I'd really like to find out.

Washed up and never were players with MLB experience or rushing players to the MLB roster. What a glorious team we've become.

Even if he did want to be here he needs to be swapped for multiple players. If a middle of the road franchise somewhere offered you $4,000,000 a year as a free agent how much more would it take to get you to come to the Sox? That's what Getz has to deal with.

Good points.

So which option are you going with? 1- follow another team 2- give up baseball 3- keep following the team while expecting a decade of 1,000 losses?

It's really tough to break your own record, but with the right manager it's certainly possible.
