Even dumped guys under control like Varland...

Don't forget "KPop Demon Hunters" sing-a-long sellouts in theatres across the country...

Happy KPop Demon Hunters Sing-a-Long Weekend White Sox now averaging 17,983 fans per game, last year also ended up 27th with 17,909. It's going to be really close in terms of overall attendance because of the four game Yankees series next weekend. Minnesota 2 KC 3 (on edge of the WC race) NYY 4 TB 3 (dead series) Baltimore 3 (dead series) San Diego 3 (???) two combined doubleheaders this year

Only Vaughn and Amaya were worse in the early season...

What young player could you possibly even award with an extension as of today? And Sox won't be close to that payroll number again until Ishbia cash injection five years or more from now. Not with the Sox local tv contract cut from $70 million to the $15-20 million level. Plus $150-200 million in debt to pay off first.

Win probability went down 39.1% with Colson foul out DP. Two critical runners wiped out at home in this one.

Plus Boston/NYY media. See Derek Jeter.

Well, they haven't even had a new deal for over $10 million since Fedde... $3.5/$72 million is still 5% of payroll.

Does JR have the money on hand to cut a $30+ million check? You know they're basically stuck with him until trade deadline 2027. Keuchel was the only big money guy they did that with, not even Grandal.

106.1 ev Buxton would have robbed it in the good 'ol days. Back to 225/801

He reminds me of young/er Narvaez so much in terms of his numbers...hopefully power will come.

Have to get at least one run back there...

How many games since HR #10? Feels like a month...homers in bunches coming again, hopefully. 107.7 ev

Of course...

Outman hitting in front of Royce Lewis?

Not even sure who else deserves to be recalled...

Venable still at least "cliched likeable" compared to Grifol...

Heading straight for Mendoza/Maldonado Line.

Finally got Outman to the AL Central... 342 .935 Bring back the great Keaschall debate

That toe injury killed his season...could never get it back offensively, if he still had it after 2024 Seattle.

Months ago, Teel/Quero was billed as their niche advantage over other teams, having two strong catchers coming up together... And Sosa's essentially their best young player, unless you're still buying into Colson Montgomery as an everyday SS. But let's say you traded Sosa and Quero for the 2024 version of Wilyer Abreu...a 3 fWAR RF, does that really make the team better? Maybe? Maybe not?

At one point his fWAR was +1.7 with MIL in just about a month when he's way under 0.0 career-wise with the Sox...

I blame this on Chris Getz and Rick Hahn as well. Going to Sox games is apparently too dangerous...at least according to some news reporting. Have been hearing this since the late 1970s as a fan. "Chicago will be the next city that his administration targets for a federal crackdown on crime and suggested a longer and more intense campaign in the nation’s capital. “We’ll straighten that one out, probably next, that will be our next one after this,” Trump said from the Oval Office. “I think Chicago will be our next and then we’ll help with New York.” cnn.com

But he was on EVERY single Top 100 list but one entering the season...or at least after the first half. And to rank Bonemer so far ahead...just crazy. Meanwhile, Wolkow has had at best mixed results. Most would argue disappointing overall.
