This is pretty much the final nail in the coffin for any extensions on Giolito, Cease and Kopech. Sale and Q might end up being the last two that go to White Sox starting pitchers. Especially with Cease and Kopech already having gone through one TJS. Revisions are much dicier, but improving each year.

Best weather/health care/education systems. I lived in Armenia for one year...between Medellin and Cali. Met the Renteria Brothers once, was going to cooperate on setting up some baseball camps on the north coast. For about 90-95% of the year, never needed air conditioning or a heater. Great/affordable steaks. You could go horseback riding for $15-20 all afternoon long. Salento, just north of Armenia, is the "touristic village" the animated movie ENCANTO is based upon. Would think about living in Bucamaranga or Medellin (much bigger) if I was to get a 4+ month wintertime retirement/condo thing going. Great heart hospitals, plastic surgery abounds as well...for those so inclined.

Nobody works from basically 10 am until around 330 pm, early morning and evening is tolerable but barely.

Bogaerts and Profar, for example. Could have used Andruw Jones or his son by birthright haha. Don't shortchange Vinnie Italian Stallion Pasquantino!

Supplemental picks aren't that high...

more than Krygistan or Azerbaijan?

Colombia about to go 2-0, fortunately it's not Jose Quintana shitting the Sox down. Well, at least Carlos Perez is hitting 1.000 I guess.

Caliente! I think you mean Santa Marta or Barranquilla...

Kershaw couldn't be covered, for example. Biggest reason why no Team USA appearance for him this year.

Burger/Sheets and minor league infield parade worth more to Sox than other organizations clearly.

What did he/Brett say about Grifol? Was always highly complimentary.

Based on the spring so far... only Colas and veterans for this roster except pen possibly. Young bench/utility guys all struggling, Marisnick vs. Hamilton. Sheets outside chance as lefty with pop for final spot. Brayan Ramos looks the best of young infielders so far.

PROBABLY being the key word in your sentence.

Contract extension totally off the table. Jerry saves even more for the grave.

Shades of Giolito's Patriots Day Massacre. Royals came out ready to make a point with Pedro.

Bring back Arnie Munoz Jon Adkins Jim Parque and Felix Diaz. Ten year rebuild with Pirates/Reds/A's payrolls. Profits galore even at 8-12000 per game.

It will be the just focusing on XYZ pitch... getting work in, etc,

Debacle. The coach the Royals rejected for managing their own team.

Grifol will manage this one to win. Line up looks pretty terrible without Eloy Moncada Robert TA7.

Team Colombia beat the A's 3-2, lol.

The state of Illinois and Chicago from a financial and tax perspective certainly is relevant and will become increasingly more so in the coming years following demographic trends of blue staters leaving for states like AZ TX and FL, to name just three. Ask Melody Hobson if she thinks it is something to be considered...who is going to finance a new stadium for the White Sox privately, for example, in the future??? Reinsdorf owning basically the biggest share of NBCSports Chicago isn't the Top 3-5 broadcasting deal in all of sports anymore... essentially, the AL Central Division opponents in the long/er term will get bigger slices of the pie, the equivalent of revenue sharing. This year, the impact of those missed Bally/Sinclair payments/defaults might be more impactful as everyone adjusts financially, but the Sox are basically treading water and falling backwards on payroll from 7th to 12th due to spending increases by other teams as well as inflationary pressure in mega deals.
