Jay Cuda must have Stockholm Syndrome from finding the craziest doomsday stats for three years running with those 346 losses or whatever it was…now attempting some optimism

Who can you reply upon other than Taylor and Hudson? Newcomb? Hagen of the 10 walks in 11 ip?

Too much nepotism with Brooke’s sister married to Gordon, and Brooke married to Cronenworth of one of the worst $100+ million contracts in mlb history.

Former Sox ST invite L.Wade out there in the OF. Bad baserunning undoes the good…couldn’t get in a rundown long enough to get the trail runner into second.

If the sale price ballooned to $2.3-2.5 billion, it would pretty much offset any/all capital gains losses he’s staring at now @ a $1.8-1.9 billion valuation. Although it’s likely Ishbia has locked in most of those 2029-34 numbers already.

Hard to imagine the hitting stock could possibly improve but validating that he can play LF and CF would be huge.

2027 draft maybe Unless they sign Skubal lol

Williams on for the Guardians tonight low pitch count for him too

Carlos Rodriguez has owned the Rays, starting with his advising on Peters the week of his arrival

The Chicago White Sox are valued at $2.15 billion by CNBC, ranking them 15th among all 30 Major League Baseball franchises. [1, 2] Sox somewhere between #15-17... JR and family likes this $350 million jump!!!

The Los Angeles Angels were sold for an estimated valuation of around $4 billion (greater than $3.9 billion), setting a new Major League Baseball record...thanks AI lol The Los Angeles Angels are valued at $2.7 billion (11th) according to CNBC's Official MLB Team Valuations. [1] https://www.forbes.com/sites/zacharyfolk/2026/09/01/stan-kroenke-buys-los-angeles-angels-in-4-billion-deal/ Most recent Forbes number was $2.8 billion. That now puts the White Sox into $2-2.5 billion territory going by the SoCal franchise values exploding...and the Angels have neither a good team nor the Padres' stadium/entertainment district working to their advantage

But it's really a promotion since (almost) all teams send their best High A and AA prospects to that league at least once...

Then Mune...and Vargas. Braden is now even in slightly negative territory.

More likely Peters in CF and Bonemer LF.

Would take 13-12/12-13 with this pitching staff. But should be over .500 with the easy (seemingly) remaining schedule.

Hit the local strip bar and/or engage in fisticuffs?

Jack Cove, 50's era detective novelist? No... He now our Jake Cave....would be Piranha.

But stuck behind Derek Hill

They really loved Peralta in the clubhouse but just not meant to be for him in NY. See Contreras, Jose or Hideki Irabu. Also, Polanco and Semien were basically unplayable.

https://www.fangraphs.com/leaders/splits-leaderboards?position=B&splitArr=1&startDate=2026-03-01&endDate=2026-11-30 Almost had to laugh. Andrew Vaughn #1 against lhp and Jake McCarthy Top 30. Meidroth and ofc Grichuk up there, too. Braden M. Sheets Murakami Bazzana most assuredly are not...

Just a 651 and 674 ops against lhp in 2025 and 2024...almost nothing this year at the big league level. It's about like expecting Benintendi to return to 2021 Gold Glove form...or Luis Castillo as a Red. It could happen. Sure. But likely? But I guess we should all celebrate that at least it's not Clevinger, Urias or Bauer.

Antonacci Mune Braden Peters and Colson have all had their troubles with lefties. Just not so sure that this is the best possible solution. The cheapest, sure.

https://www.espn.com/mlb/player/splits/_/id/31208/year/2024/category/batting Just a 651 and 674 ops against lhp in 2025 and 2024... 787 three years ago. About the same time Luis Castillo was good or at least decent, fwiw.

Even Dustin Harris has been around a .300 hitter with the Padres during the last couple of weeks. Lost him as well. Does anyone realistically imagine Pham hitting anywhere close to that?
