Contract extension...centerpiece of the franchise at age 36.

It would be a blessing at home if Sox viewers could completely miss opposing team's taters disappearing into into the stands. Montgomery looks a lot more aggressive/assertive very recently and has that positive energy around him again.

Also, when guys like Lucas Giolito and Casas got hurt for Boston…their new GM just didn’t throw in the towel or give up on the Red Sox 2024 season despite the overall strength of that division. (The funny part was Romy Gonzalez eliminated himself in basically one game.) https://www.yahoo.com/sports/aggressive-red-sox-arent-waiting-151329418.html PS: Please trade Benintendi for Yoshida!!! Change of scenery for both guys. And Sox defense is already abysmal anyway, minus the middle infield.

https://www.yahoo.com/sports/dylan-cease-says-last-white-011411123.html With Cease pitching for the Padres, the White Sox dropped 22 of their first 25 games this season. “Baseball's one of those games where anything can happen, and funky things can happen,” Cease said. “For all we know, they'll go on a nice little win streak and kind of even that out. But yeah, it's a little bit surprising.” Cease has made a smooth transition to his new surroundings. He is 4-2 with a 2.55 ERA in seven starts this season. He also has 48 strikeouts in 42 1/3 innings, looking more like the pitcher he was two years ago. Cease said his good numbers so far are the result of adjustments he started making last year. “Basically just figuring out how to stay closed,” he said. “I feel like, for me anyways, the most difficult thing for pitching is staying closed because it is such a rotational movement." ….. “I still think that in the minds of a lot of people we had a really good chance to compete,” Cease said. “I think we feel like we had a good chance to compete and we just didn’t put it together. We had a really bad year and it obviously kind of led to the need to kind of redo everything.”

Maybe a cross between him, Pete Incaviglia and Steve Balboni...

Morel Wisdom and Madrigal aren't the answer. Burger .213, Anderson .212, White Sox hitting problems somehow affecting the rest of MLB.

At least they didn't guarantee Keith $28.6 million, lol. And we can even extend it lower, Jose Abreu is at .269 and still owed $39 million... With Chourio and Holliday also struggling out of the game, wonder if someone's going to rethink this whole "generational wealth" before ever crossing the lines on a big league field thing. https://www.msn.com/en-us/sports/mlb/what-detroit-tigers-rookie-colt-keith-is-doing-to-snap-out-of-career-opening-slump/ar-AA1o0fOj Maybe the White Sox hitters as a collective also need to block X, Facebook and Instagram, lol...

He's back off the DL tonight against Walker Buehler, returning from almost 2 years on the shelf with TJS. 0/2 so far, .220/680.

Hopefully Wolkow can keep his K numbers under 35-40%.

White Sox -88 Rockies -78 Marlins -68

Obliques are pretty much the worst injuries a baseball player can ever have...except UCL and maybe deep deep plantar fascia injuries.

LF Bad CF Bad RF Bad 3B Below Average SS Average to Slightly Below Average this year 1B Below Average C Terrible with Maldonado, at least average with Lee (granted, he had a mistake tonight) Even WITH Robert and Moncada, they're not currently even an average MLB defense. Btw, .265 .812 Ortiz (MIL)

Well, the Rays were definitely not going to lose their fourth game in a row to the White Sox, at HOME.

This was always the big concern...if he's not a 3B, he can't hit well enough to justify any other position. Maybe second, but then you have yet another below average fielding and probably hitting infielder.

Just when you thought Shuster MIGHT end up okay... Well, at least we didn't sign Keith (Tigers) to an early extension before he'd ever played. He's statistically the worst qualified player in baseball as of today.

Sure if you had Lee Ordonez Konerko Valentin Thomas Durham Singleton…best farm system in the entire sport, etc.

Gallegos has been terrible the last two times out...FB all the way down to 90-92.

The Idea of You 3.5 The Fall Guy 3.25 Fallout 3.75 Monarch: Legends 3.25 Late Night with the Devil 3.25 Shogun 3.75 Challengers 3.5 Slow Horses 3.75 (all 3 seasons combined)

Fedde...? Kopech? The rate things are going, Wilson and Brebbia might be worth the most amongst the relievers. Have to believe Eloy's option is declined...and 50/50 Vaughn non-tendered.

Ramos first hit, sac fly, single, RBI...quite an eventful opening weekend.

First hit this season by Sheets against a LHP.
