Just so sick and tired of picking the guys who will end up helping most immediately. Starting to come around to the Emerson side of things. It’s not like 2027 will bring in any FAs. Emerson probably only one or one and one half years behind Cholowsky anyway. Still fits their 2028-30 timeline realistically. But I guess the same thing happened that Rodon year…he didn’t pop as much and two other guys jumped him when he was arguably the best long term choice.

9:41 5G 96 2498 Women's and Olympic sports are said to be a focus for Trump,who believes that non-revenue programs are being eliminated or at least defunded, as schools shift more resources to football and men's basketball in an intense and competitive recruiting environment where athlete compensation has been legalized. Lastly, the order invalidates certain state laws that conflict with the order, which are likely to include several state statutes governing NlL. But the order's true impact remains unclear and is in doubt considering that Trump's previous executive order,released in July, has created no real results within the industry.This one, however, is more comprehensive and direct as opposed to the last one, which only directed his cabinet members to create rules which never materialized. Executive orders are subject to legal scrutiny, especially those that disregard court orders. In fact, courts have struck down several of the president's orders over the last several months, rendering them moot and unenforceable. In a White House roundtable event last month, the president himself predicted that any order would be legally challenged. He said that he "hoped"for a favorable judge (lol). V

Had to reallocate that money to Dominguez Hicks Newcomb Hays.

Ron DeSantis and Yankees president Randy Levine. Invitees include college sports leaders such as NCAA president Charlie Baker, commissioners from the Power 4 conferences and Group of 6 ranks, select athletic directors, university administrators — including Trump adviser and Texas Tech board chair Cody Campbell (Mr.NiL) — and former coaches Nick Saban and Urban Meyer; sports executives such as NBA commissioner Adam Silver, CEO of the USA Olympic Committee Sarah Hirshland, and New England Patriots president Jonathan Kraft; former Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice; media executives such as ESPN chairman Jimmy Pitaro and Fox Sports CEO Eric Shanks; and business leaders such as Gerry Cardinale, David Blitzer and Marc Ganis, among others."

https://sports.yahoo.com/mens-college-basketball/article/president-trump-delivers-new-executive-order-attempting-to-regulate-college-sports-165338483.html Getting rid of NIL collectives and limiting to just one transfer is not going to fly. Can see two lifetime transfers, maybe?...barring coaching changes....but the money's out of the bag trying to reverse NIL money flow to college athletes. Or maybe limiting players in P4/5 conferences to 2 transfers between P4/5 teams, and mid majors that are getting decimated to 3? "The order directs the NCAA to create rules that mandate college athletes can play for "no more than a five-year period" and allows them to transfer schools only once before they graduate without having to sit out a season. The rule changes are scheduled to go into effect Aug. 1. A school that plays an athlete who doesn't meet these new limits could risk losing its federal funding." espn.com

Braden with an early single and walk. Not many prospects there at AA. Jeral Perez #2 on position player side? Gordon SP got hammered.

One thing they have is 126+ years of history. Take advantage of it.

They can't afford many injuries in that rotation. Boyd and Imanaga are shaky enough as it is.

Athletics in last place in MLB for at least one day. 1-5 White Sox Red Sox Padres Rockies 2-5

Gio asking for a lot more $$$ still...one would think.

.240 11 Ks in 25 at bats is going to have to come down into the 35-40% strike out percentage technically it's based on plate appearances and not just at bats, right? counting four walks it's 11/29, which is much more reasonable

Water under the bridge...

But clearly no Omar Vizquel Day.

JR (or Boyer) really needs to sell some tickets somehow lol...

Looked overwhelmed after they got out of Pool Play...

Kenny Williams Jr. and Sox scouting supervisor Warren Hughes were the ones who scouted Tim Anderson out of Mississippi fwiw. "Warren Hughes has been a scout for the Chicago White Sox starting in 1987, signing Tim Anderson, Tim Elko (Ole Miss), Michael Johnson, Ray Liotta, Jared Mitchell (LSU), Konnor Pilkington and Ehren Wassermann. Hughes played for the Australian national team in the 1982 Amateur World Series. He went to the US for college. Also the only one to scout Chad Bradford... Oct 25, 2025 Looks like Hughes and Mike Shirley really missed on Jacob Gonzalez as well as Konnor Griffin. They did get Grant Taylor at least out of LSU. https://www.chicagotribune.com/2023/07/11/chicago-white-sox-in-mlb-draft-shortstop-jacob-gonzalez-at-no-15-and-right-hander-grant-taylor-at-no-51/ Don't read the second paragraph if you don't want to be physically ill lol.
