Obviously there's a conpromise number between $50-75 million. JR wouldn't sign off on it anyway. And the reasons JR will authorize that much money to B-Tier Benintendi while ignoring his 2019-2021 trendline is why they're in this situation on the first place. At any rate, the White Sox are now officially the feeder team for MLB. They have Robert (maybe), Montgomery (maybe) and who else to sell fans in terms of hope for the future?

Then you're never going to have an ace in that starting rotation. "Doing okay" like Nvidia was just a decent return? Besides, Reinsdorf will never buy or extend anyone on the pitching side now. Schultz seemingly is the only one with that upside...if his health holds up.

8 out of 14 if they hold on...

Lee .290/836

Bump.

Crochet ERA back down under 5.

Would need to finish 53-71 to avoid 100 losses...doesn't feel all that likely, but then who knows what Moncada and Robert will contribute. If anything.

Didn't exist when Konerko was actually playing.

4th save for Kopech...

Brennan/B.Naylor/Freeman/Manzardo

Usually it's Kopech giving up those homers...so this is a change, at least. For the moment.

Colas was apparently benched for a lackadaisical play at 1st...

This game's luck isn't going to hold up for more than one game, is it? Wouldn't it now be something like 7-6 the last 13?

Walsh just got his very first Charlotte hit...

Ramos 7/16 for .438. Isn't that the entire season's output for Maldonado?

DeLoach has been in the 600s for OPS (in Charlotte!) with little power recently...has something changed? He profiles as average to below average defensively so I guess that should fit right in.

Wilson has a net negative fWAR. He has been pretty decent, comparatively.

Rinse. Repeat. White Sox: Erick Fedde, top-of-the-rotation starter There’s no real surprise Fedde has found some level of pitching success through the early part of May when looking at how the right-hander reinvented himself during the 2023 season with a 20-6 record, 2.00 ERA and 209 strikeouts over 180 1/3 innings for NC Dinos as the KBO’s top pitcher. But even Fedde was interested in how his new repertoire would play in a Major League return, and entering his series-opening start against the Guardians Thursday, he’s been the most consistent pitcher on the White Sox staff. Fedde has 41 strikeouts over 36 innings and a 3.46 ERA, not to mention working into the ninth inning for the first time in his career on April 28 vs. Tampa Bay. He looks to be a White Sox building block in the latest rebuild or a solid trade option. -- Scott Merkin

And how Q was a much lower injury risk due to not being a high below pitcher with previous TJS.

Avoiding an 8th or 9th sweep of the season...

White Sox-aNON "Why would he intentionally tank the Sox, you ask. Chicago refused to give him 2 billion dollars for a new stadium. He wants out his contract with the stadium the Sox are in right now. He has offers to move the team to Nashville and Las Vegas but can't because of the contract. Ever seen the movie Major League? The whole storyline is based on a baseball team owner putting together a team that is so bad that the city allows the owner to move the team to another city. Reinsdorf wants to move the team out of Chicago because, no matter how good the Sox are, they will ALWAYS take a back seat to the Cubs. In 2005, when the Sox won the world series, the CUBS got the top headline in the Chicago newspapers. Chicago has at least one sports team in in EVERY major sport. Moving the team to a city with a lot less pro teams means more attention paid to the Sox and more money for Reinsdorf."

He's got more rings than Chris Getz! By a lot.
