Sox Mount Rushmore of (Recent) Failure
Leury played to his ability. I don't think a player was more set up to fail with fans and on the field than the legend.

Sox Mount Rushmore of (Recent) Failure
Before the excitement of a new season catches hold of us all, one last dunk in the dank smell of a losing locker room. Who are you carving in the rock? 2020 - 2023 Tony, Tim, Moncada, Grandal I'm limiting my picks to guys who wore a jersey.

Tim Anderson Free Agency Discussion
And move to 2nd. At worse he may be the poster guy for the team's failure the past couple years.

Tim Anderson Free Agency Discussion
@almagest makes a great point. I think it's scale. Criminal charges after being manipulated into choking someone until they pass out seems like a different scale. But this may be where MLB teams are drawing the line. Multiple domestic situations might be too toxic for modern media driven entertainment.

The A's are moving to Vegas thread
Not one owner stood up for Oakland? It's like they are all buddy buddy and will allow each other to do anything.

Bobby Witt Jr signs 11Y/$288M extension with KC
The Astros stand out on the not $200 mil list. @southsider2k5 makes a great point. Three years ago we would have loved to see a deal paying our Silver Slugging, All Star shortstop about $15 mil for the next few seasons.

You just earned the "you pick the playlist for the drive" award. I can't believe I forgot about Stay.

Tim Anderson Free Agency Discussion
Will the Marlin's finally sign him? I wonder what kind of shape Tim is keeping himself in. I can't believe he'll remain unsigned unless there are some really scary skeletons in his closet.

Who won the trades?
Anything that wasn't an obvious blunder is a win for Getz. Swapping some roster names that we'll forget about in a couple years for newer names we'll forget about will raise the mood of Sox fans beyond freezing to chilly. We can spend the first fifty losses learning what we don't like about the new guys and the next fifty losses complaining about the usual stuff.

Lynn Kopech Eloy Jimenez all on "most improved" candidates list
If you always expect the worst there will be only a few surprises as a Sox fan.

Lynn Kopech Eloy Jimenez all on "most improved" candidates list
While it is laughable, the division sucks so bad that below .500 could win it.

It's generalized hate for all things Sox the last two disappointing seasons.

Who is calling whom?
If that's all he was being offered the world doesn't think much of Cease.

Who is calling whom?
So are we actively searching out trade partners or just answering the phone and making some deals?

Gregory Santos Traded to Mariners for P Prelander Berroa, OF Zach DeLoach and 69th pick
Bring back Leury the Legend. He's thrown a few innings. It won't matter.

Grifol, Sox out to prove doubters wrong in 2024 (Merkin Optimism Series)
Those good feelings are for fans of other teams, were Sox fans. I want to read how we'll set records for losing. That's how we demand coverage of our team.

Sox looking at building in South Loop
I've been twice with the roof open. Everyone around me was complaining that it was open. Lol

Spring Training - 2/13 Pitchers and Catchers / Sox v. Cubs 2/23/2024
What a fast winter. Has a season started with lower expectations? But I can't wait to see some MLB baseball. There is a great opportunity for guys to earn the MLB check. I suspect this will be an interesting spring training.
