Cali's post hype former prospect James Outman from Twins to Tigers, btw.

"It wasn’t that long ago that on May 26 against the Colorado Rockies, Ohtani also exited early after getting plunked on the wrist. Dave Roberts spoke with Kirsten Watson about Ohtani’s exit, noting that he acknowledged the discomfort around the sixth inning on Thursday. Roberts doesn’t expect him to miss Friday’s opener against the Chicago White Sox." https://www.truebluela.com/los-angeles-dodgers-news-notes/118097/dodgers-shohei-ohtani-justin-wrobleski-tanner-scott-james-outman

He was trying to reverse the Sox luck for those poor Cubbies...somewhat surreptitiously, of course.

15. Chicago BullsBennett Stirtz, 6-3, Iowa senior guardThe Bulls have a lot of guards on their roster, but probably not the right guy for the long term. Stirtz feels the game at a different frequency than everyone else on the floor, and yet still makes scouts squint because he doesn't look the part athletically. The question isn't whether he can play, though. After transferring from Drake to Iowa, he kept cooking with bullseye passes, pump-fakes, and shooting touch off the dribble from NBA range. If he adjusts to the physicality and speed of the NBA, he could thrive as both a floor general and off-ball connector. This would be controversial lol.

Strange strategy at home with a recently high powered offense, but also were missing Mune and Colson...2005 offense had small ball and power aspects, but obviously lacking Pods/Iguchi equivalents at top of order.

Same high hand set-up/placement?

Yeah, now they have to turn to the Pacific Rim. Sugano would be a good no risk add as swing man with surprising Colorado stats...much less costly to acquire than Senzatela. Just take over contract. Probably on track for 1.65-1.75 million attendance if not a bit more if they can stay near failing distance of first and also securely in WC race.

Alexei Abreu Robert Tatis is still better than most intl. directors have done…but the last five a wasteland, Y.Cespedes, Norge Vera, “Yogurt” Sanchez, forgetting a couple.

Clearly those last two are the only other options…there wasn’t a single Mets’ potential signee defecting like the Yankees’ situation?

Are we feeling there’s a parallel between Enron and SpaceX?

Palette’s return fee…

Cholowsky

Apparently joking the rebuild was going to take forever at this rate meant a hyperbolic prediction of exactly 6-10 years. Still might have been nearly that long in the AL East, NL West and NL Central…or should we now forecast JR spending on a FA frontline starter and keeping Mune in the fold for upwards of $375-425 million? Also ran into luck with the Skubal injury and the favorite going down early barring a 2005 Astros-like run.

Besides WestEddy originally had them at 76 wins...not well over .500. Then later revised upwards to 77-78, but not sure what exact date that happened, actually. I remember the majority had picked 70-72 wins... James Fegan was at 79 all along.

Carlson or Gonzalez would be the two biggest trade chips right now...but not sure if that's wise if they don't select Cholowsky, since Bonemer definitely won't remain at SS and Gonzalez is at least one tier below even Meidroth there and needs to focus on playing second/first/DH. Selling low on Carlson would be dumb anyway...unless there were concerns he would never even put up 700 ops numbers.

Lol. Nearly everyone said 2028-2030 because of the likelihood they weren't going to spend big in FA in a potential lockout year. That's hardly ten years. Please tell us when the Sox Dominican Academy produces a legit major leaguer. Also are we going to keep having this same conversation over and over again for the next 3-5 years? If you felt so strongly, why didn't you bet $1000 for the Sox to make the playoffs? Better than throwing it away on the SpaceX IPO today.

He had a left shoulder injury previously. Play at Men's College World Series The Chandler, AZ. native didn’t put together his best performance at the plate in Obama in 2025, going 1-12 (.083) across three games at the MCWS. However, he flashed the leather on numerous occasions.

Next GA Techster (non Adam Engel physique reminiscent) up... SS?

The Updated 2026 MLB Trade Deadline Big BoardThe 2025 MLB season had one of the wildest trade deadlines in history, and we're now less than two months from finding out if the 2026 version can live up to it.Luis Castillo, Bubic (least $$$), Robbie Ray also could fit ... Casey Mize due to health and FA year. Detmers Senzatela Sugano having a really solid year for Colorado

1977 1983 1990 2007/09 both sucked 5. 2010 In what turned out not to be a sign of things to come for the White Sox in the decade, the 2010 White Sox won a lot of games (88). Unfortunately, it was still not enough to make the postseason. With the exception of the 90-72 White Sox of 2006, this was the most the franchise has won over the past two decades without making the playoffs. In his age-34 season, Paul Konerko was phenomenal, finishing .312/.393/.584 (160 OPS+) with 39 homers. Oh, yeah, and remember when Manny Ramírez was on the White Sox? southsideshowdown.com

Senzatela might be the most popular option here because he's excellent as a reliever this year but has a starter's stamina. Casey Mize is going into FA. He seems much likelier than Wacha/Lugo/Ryan. Adrian Morejon if the Padres decide to sell. Steep price to pay for one of best lefty high leverage guys. Nick Martinez would be perfect if he wasn't on the Rays.

Hairstyle coming under criticism lol. Can now afford a big league fade.

Have been saying that for nearly 18 years now, ever since the Dave Wilder scandal/Club Phoenix scandal.

No outs recorded by Palencia.

45-22 6.5 games in first place on June 18th, 2005 Slight difference there.
