Judge on pace for fourth highest fWAR of all time. Ohtani for 62.5 homers, 35 steals and 171 runs.

LHR Evan Phillips TJS out for the season.

Is that a question? Or he can really hit...but

0.

Ohtani and Judge unreal.

9-48

Elko another homer tonight along with Teel.

Campbell probably. No way they were giving up Mayer/SS or Anthony/CF.

Zavala going backwards again. Wolkow needs to get it going, too.

J.Jobe and Smith-Shawver both likely going into TJS.

Welp.

Dominguez warming…

Shocking he didn’t strike out.

Taylor hasn’t been picked off yet at least.

Here comes Robert again…

NCAA CWS softball is much better than this crap…

Well, we did transform Castro and $500k in intl. signing pool money plus his IL salary into a more expensive Altavilla…

Ofc Bruce Chen pitched quite a bit for the O's before KC...

So much of this is the Venable is not Worst Manager in the History of Baseball like Pedro Grifol "fresh air" bounce as well... Then we had that Grade Sizemore bump as well down the stretch. Meidroth Teel-Quero Braden Vargas comprise four spots. Still have 2-3 more left to go to be a legit big league lineup. Progress from ground zero, sure. Any worse was impossible to fathom.

And we have to keep reminding ourselves that JR won't have Benintendi off the books until after 2027...when he will have the labor impasse as a spending excuse to maintain a bottom 2-3 payroll. Which means we could still be January 2028 before the next significant Sox FA deal. That's a full 2 1/2 years away. Even the most optimistic fans would agree that five plus years is an incredible amount of time for a dormant franchise to be sleeping on their fanbase after everything totally falling apart in 2022-2023.

No thanks. He's not the starting CF on a real contenders. On one of the five worst teams in baseball...but he doesn't come close to ONeil Cruz or Brenton Doyle. Maybe in Miami.

He wasn't playing enough to get into any kind of offensive rhythm. Making him one of the lowest fWAR guys other than Vaughn and Amaya.

Back used to at least mean close to a .500 record. Meidroth and Vargas look good...Sosa somewhere in the middle...while Baldwin and recently Quero have stumbled offensively at the big league level. Q has at least more or less seemed to hold his own on D. The biggest concern is Schultz/Smith/Taylor are closer to 1 1/2 pitchers than 3...and now we have Caglianone and Witt Jr. to deal with for the next 6-7 years. Maybe Minnesota and Cleveland can't spend...but will the White Sox have their next FA over $5 million before 2026-27? And there's zero movement on the ballpark and ownership fronts recently. Of course, Braden Teel and Bonemer look good...but still not sure other than Braden who's the 30+ homer 100+ RBI guy to stick in the 3-4-5 spots?
