Ohtani is either hurt or cramping Bieber/Bassitt already used/Lauer can go at least 2-3 and has history as a starter Henriquez probably capped at 2+/3 thought that was gone definitely in daytime

Maybe don't challenge Edman. Teoscar, sure. Once Hernandez cleanly fielded the ball along that wraparound corner like KC and Boston...no way to score. Varsho in the postseason AB AVG HR RBI SB OPS 55 .273 3 10 0 .831

If they called blocking the plate when the throw pulled him there and he was out by 10-15 feet there might be a riot at Chavez Ravine.

DJ on Sox future...
The same logic applies to the White Sox not being the 29th or 30th team in MLB every season. Or relying on Rule 5 picks every year to fill out a staff. No team in modern baseball has pulled that off two consecutive years.. adding starting rotation pieces.

Sasaki with a tightrope act...Freeman and Edman preserve the tie. Hoffman in a non-closing situation. Ohtani with a shot at a walk off. Or Betts or Freeman. Ohtani steal if walked?

DJ on Sox future...
LoL. Sure, and Colson will maintain a Ohtani/Schwarber/Raleigh HR pace as well.... They need three starters. Burke Cannon and Gomez can't be relied upon. One might be Thorpe eventually... but no sure thing there.

Series back on...huge momentum shift here. Edman goes from 2024 hero to 2025 goat.

Not in the first half of the season. What is their starting rotation? There's only two guys right now you can even count on to fill a spot.

There's no injection of talent from the minors this year and Colson's might be one of the most unpredictable future trajectories that you can come up with.

Outside the Box: Trade Cease+ for Daulton Varsho+
Sure, if they also had Machado OR Harper... This is why we're currently looking at a 5 1/2 to 6 year rebuild. Bit surely we could have scrounged up the equivalent of Alex Verdugo somehow.

The Worst Owner in Sports? The case for Jerry Reinsdorf
With all the intrinsic built-in challenges the team should have in Chicago vs. Detroit Cleveland Minnesota and KC. Imagine being in the West or East of either league... They'd be the Tennessee Titans, but even worse off.

The Worst Owner in Sports? The case for Jerry Reinsdorf
Peter Seidler was absolutely beloved in SD. Still is, each year removed from his untimely passing...but you probably think he was irresponsible for spending unsustainably for that size of a market, right? How about not mocking the very concept of even bidding for the greatest player in the history of the modern game, at least?

Outside the Box: Trade Cease+ for Daulton Varsho+
Yes because we have so many players in the 2.5-3.25 fWAR range. Well, really just two. C.Montgomery and Kyle Teel. And maybe Braden eventually. Apparently 4.8 fWARs (2022) are now to be totally discounted as well. So I'm going to just copy and paste the FutureIsNear's dismissal of fWAR for any CF SS 2B C. Of course he dutifully cited the traditional Greg-like stat of batting average to augment his argument. Maybe we should simply sign Luis Arraez...and forget that he has to actually play in the field somewhere when not DHing.
