Clinton Cole works for Future Sox/WGN...right? Did he burn a source to get the Antonacci information out there too quickly? This is a weird one. Not like we're talking about Konnor Griffin's debut and/or contract extension. Sam's basically just the #8 prospect from a #15-20something farm system. Not like there are hundreds of thousands of hits/views/followers at stake here.

Darn you, Joc Peterson!!!

Nothing good. Vargas has been pretty darned good defensively this year, but neither are core pieces IMO.

Katy Perry just got Epsteined.

Misstype

Verdict already in on that trade, though.

If the Sox actually believed that was true vis a vis Vargas they wouldn’t have basically sidelined Sosa.

Seems to be a pretty strong correlation between Jordan Walker being first in EV and one of the best players in baseball so far.

https://www.baseball-reference.com/register/player.fcgi?id=sosa--000len This past winter for Caracas, Sosa played 22 games at second, 6 at first base and one at third. fwiw

"There are certainly flaws in Sosa’s profile but the Jays felt they needed to bolster the position player group and there aren’t many options for doing that at this time of the year. Sosa has some pop and some flexibility, even if he’s not a standout defender. If things go especially well, he can be controlled for three more seasons after this one. But since he’s out of options, it’s also possible he gets squeezed in the coming weeks if the guys on the IL can get healthy. For the Sox, as mentioned, Sosa was one of their better hitters last year but has been pushed into a part-time role this year. He is only 26 years old, so they could have held onto him, hoping for improved plate discipline and/or better defense going forward. But that would be hard to do with limited playing time and no ability to be sent to the minors, so they’ve cashed him in for future talent. If they get any payoff from Rich, it won’t be soon. He was just drafted last year out of high school, in the 17th round, and is only 18 years old. He hasn’t yet appeared in an official game since being drafted. He doesn’t appear on lists of the top prospects in the Jays’ system, so he’s a long-term lottery ticket for the Sox. They could also add more talent later, depending on the player to be named later." mlbtraderumors.com

Would random fan geniuses actually do worse than 29th in mlb over the last fifteen plus years with all the money they had to spend from 2011-2023? Seems dubious.

Teahen and Josh Fields. Palka and Gavin "Holy" Sheets, wanted to move Burger to 2B/RF.

Sacks packed with Semien.

Nice to see Kyle Teel there and involved as well...

Already scratched/dud.

Top 100 Sox players from Winston Salem through Kanny, complex ball in AZ and the Dominican SL. maybe…

Still can't beat the Twins...Minnesota heading for a 10-7 record. Pirates just put up 10 on Nats. Griffin finally got a hit/RBI.

No way in hell they come within one day of gaining a seventh year. This, after all, is a Reinsdorf organization we're talking about.

Instead, you chose to support the Voldemort of owners.

The Sosa and Getz tenures with the Sox track almost exactly...feels appropriate, somehow.

There's lottery tickets like Sandlin/Mead/Acuna/Vargas/Korey Lee. And then there's this crap... It's like they're running a race to outdo Minnesota for most embarrassing AL franchise. Another Getz development win for the ages. Even the Rockies seem fairly stable for now...already matching April 2025 team victories and surpassing it before the middle of the month.

He rallied the 2024 team against the fans cheering for record-setting losses late that season…

Probably the last time this year the White Sox make a headline CNN article. "While every pope has an international following, it’s logical to assume that Leo might matter more not just to American Catholics, but to Americans in general. The criticisms might sound different coming from the Chicago White Sox fan who speaks in unaccented English. And indeed, polling has suggested the pope is overwhelmingly popular with Americans. He was the most popular national figure of 14 people tested by Gallup last summer. And Americans viewed him positively by a 5-to-1 margin in an NBC News poll last month."

Not surprisingly Sox are near the bottom of that stat, too. The list of Top 30/40 hitters has some pretty big names. Burger at 30 and Robert 38 not unexpected at all. Did hope that Colson would be a lot higher than he was...he's more of a centerpiece player for the future. Jordan Walker was almost dumped by the Cards after 2-3 disappointing/under achieving years and suddenly is one of the best players in baseball. It's just another indicator of the tool box.
