The Giolito arb hearing over $25 or $50000 or whatever it amounted to was ridiculous as well…all vengeance simply because of players’ union related activities.

Ncorgbl is still alive? Didn’t colsat46 pass away some time ago?

https://www.fangraphs.com/standings/playoff-odds/fg/mlb Fangraphs currently has Sox projected at 67-95, 1/2 of 1% wild card odds. Rockies last at .002. Sox tied with Nationals for worst playoff probability. Tigers Royals Twins Guardians Sox in that order. Entire division but Detroit .500 or under. One game behind Nationals…68 vs. 67

Don’t forget Benetti. Or Allen Thomas (Alek’s father).

Maybe he and Fegan have a secret predictions pact. Getz wins over some AL Executive of the Year votes with 81+ wins.

Generally, he has been pretty fair and balanced the last 2-3 seasons. with that rotation and the Teel injury, 63-67 wins was never far from the realm of possibility. But ending back in the 50s is the one thing they can’t afford. Then they’re the Nationals and stuck/mired…although the #1 overall pick mitigates some of that. 61-101 was the exact same result another ESPN listicle arrived at with a totally different formula. Btw, the site is completely a minefield on mobile right now. iPad is fine at least.

Even mlbtraderumors can't make sense of it. "Lee is out of minor league options and sending either Teel or Quero down to Triple-A doesn’t seem to be in Chicago’s long-term interest (unless either is really struggling), so it creates an interesting question as to what will happen when Teel is healthy and the Sox are juggling four backstops. For now, McGuire will suit up for his former team and look to provide his usual solid glovework. A top prospect back during his time in the Pirates’ farm system, McGuire has settled into a journeyman/backup type of career, playing for six different organizations during his career. McGuire has hit .248/.293/.374 with 25 homers over 1178 career plate appearances, with nine of those home runs coming last year with the Cubs (as part of a .226/.245/.444 slash line in 140 PA)."

That was from new friends and extended family banging down the gates...

It's like they signed him to the prorated equivalent of a $7-7.5 million dollar deal if he's gone in one month...in terms of value.

In what world is McGuire worth more to a future Sox championship? If they just end up DFAing Lee with nothing in return...this move is just pointless.

Usually Getz holds on to trade acquisitions for at least one year. One wonders how much of this is the fear of being criticized in the short term when a trade goes south… That said, it’s pretty clear he’s not being allowed to dump Benintendi for financial reasons. just feels like he’s only made the right calls in terms of player evaluations between 1/4th and 1/3rd of that time…that’s a recipe for disaster for a team without a $100 million payroll, let alone $135-155 million, which is much closer to average.

A couple of years ago they had one of those articles about which organizations had created the most fWAR through draft and international signings over their eventual big league careers. The White Sox were right around the middle of the pack. Of course they were about to lose 100 games for three consecutive years. Rodón Sale Semien Tatis Cease and now Crochet and even Andrew Vaughn have continued to add to that total.

Six UCLA hbp in that game. Crazy.

Next, they're going to add Teel's reputation for walking around clubhouse buck naked.

Either way a great story. 2000 MSU was last national title. Six G10 in Sweet 16. Michigan feels like team of destiny. After Cignetti and IU football...anything seems possible. Iowa Nebraska Illinois one of them likely to Final 4. Heck, even rooted for ISU against KY after they lost their best player. Also UNC KY ($22 million roster) and Indiana are a hot mess. 8 of last 9 national champs have failed to make the Sweet 16 the following season. Wild. KCCITrue madness: Iowa stuns No. 1 Florida, advances to first...WHAT. A. GAME.

He can lend a helping hand.

VPN? It's working here in China...mlbtv.com is definitely blocking now.

Wild pitch!!! Bob Rosenberg 85 today. Hard not to think of Ed Farmer impression there.

Bidets, espresso machines and dopamine rushes lol.

Iowa knocked off then-No. 9 Nebraska at home in February in a five-point win, but Nebraska got revenge at home a few weeks later in overtime in the final game of the regular season. The winner of Thursday’s contest will advance to the Elite Eight, where either Houston or Illinois will be waiting for them. While it may have seemed like a true long shot just a few weeks ago, the Hawkeyes now have a very realistic path to what would be their first Elite Eight since 1987. First 9 vs. 1 victory since Xavier lost in 2019 https://www.hawkcentral.com/story/sports/college/iowa/basketball-men/2026/03/22/iowa-nebraska-march-madness-prediction-ncaa-bracket/89278238007/

27 years Dr. Tom Davis was fired for losing to 1-2 seeds year after year. Alford Lickliter McCaffrey Blown 19 point leads against directional Louisiana teams. Shocked in the first round and second round blowouts. The OT loss to TN was the last really exciting NCAA second round game. Nebraska next. Hoiberg vs. The Wizard. Pryce Sandfort vs. his former teammates Mulvey and Brock Harding in postseason, Penn as well...Dix and Freeman shut out. Iowa's only big win this year was NE. Overtime loss last week of season, played MI down to last minute as well. Stirtz and Manyawu were both not good at all... Hopefully this will help with recruiting/portal transfers. Had zero confidence in men and 90% in Hawkeye women until this weekend. Just expected a blow out and for the women to get knocked out in Sweet 16...as UCLA twice and UConn simply demolished them.

Unless the vision is a dystopian environmentally-compromised wasteland snarled with bad traffic and dirt clogs littering the roads.

Miraculous was the specific description.

Yet another bad apple, apparently. More pruning of the orchard.
