I started a new job. My boss said "Hi, my name is Rebecca, but people call me Becky". I said "My name is Kyle, but people call me Dick". She said "how do you get Dick from Kyle?" I replied "you just ask nicely."

Depends of JR's tolerance for outright embarrassment for JR with both the Bulls and Sox...nearly year-long fan disenchantment.

Someone took away all your pumpkin pie and whipped cream?

Goodbye Geno Smith in Seattle…or the OC.

The problem is his contract is not exactly cheap for his level of production, lack of a position and plethora of injuries. He's not a pre arbitration guy still under quite affordable team control. Some trades have even suggested ostensibly Top 20 organizational returns are reasonable in order to dump what’s remaining on his contract.

MLB free agency 2023: How long will Shohei Ohtani remain a two-way star? Article projects just 2025-27 https://sports.yahoo.com/mlb-free-agency-2023-how-long-will-shohei-ohtani-remain-a-two-way-star-192517753.html

Think of how much money they would have saved with Royce Lewis at SS and no Carlos Correa deal? They'd actually now be able to afford Sonny Gray on a 2 year year deal, and to fix their bullpen, instead of taking the very typical AL Central "scrap heap" approach to filling out a rotation...I guess they did give Maeda a pretty decent deal as well at one point.

https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/minnesota-twins/did-twins-lose-money-2022-revenues-losses/ Looks like the Twins are going after former Sox Frankie Montas...not exactly sure how that replaces Sonny Gray.

Can you really trade Cease for a 2B???

Can anyone really imagine JR rewarding Robert with a massive extension if he can continue to improve upon his 2023 performance?

Pony up JR… “– The Minnesota Twins, who are without a TV contract, have begun implementing budget cuts, costing prized pro scout Billy Milos his job. Milos, 55, who has been with the Twins for 29 years, is widely considered perhaps the best scout to find unheralded talent, particularly among the independent leagues. The Twins used nine independent ball players this past season. Milos was the one who recommended the Twins select future Cy Young award winner Johan Santana in the Rule 5 Draft. He also signed All-Star pitcher Pat Neshek, and signed Nick Anderson, Randy Dobnak and Buddy Boshers from the independent leagues. Teams should be scurrying to find a spot for him in their scouting ranks.” yahoo sports Nightengale’s Notebook

Sure, lots of drugs here in China where it’s a death penalty offense. Brilliant stuff. I’m on drugs because watching OU games is a way of honoring my father who died 23 years ago…I know 10x more about the Sooners than the White Sox, but it’s just a weird obsession i guess.

My father went to OU, making that my second favorite college team automatically, and I watched every single one of his games as a Sooner as a freshman. If I grew up in Wilmington, I would be certainly be talking about UNC QB Maye instead. So sure...we can go back to the Great Outman debate and who gets credit for discovering him and acquiring him on behalf of the White Sox instead. Did Jason Benetti have a weird Massey Lopez obsession...or are they simply Chicagoland products that would seem more relevant to local fans more likely to tune into the broadcast? Also, what about your weird obsession for putting Trevor Bauer behind bars for life based on incomplete or fabricated or non-existent evidence???

Feels like mid 2025 is the latest projected Quero arrival time...he's not the kind of generational talent they should be obsessing over service time with.

Need to clear out the Japanese pitchers as well as potential options...and one Cuban FA.

More than likely, only about 5-10% of the really hard core Sox fanbase even know of this transition. Still no numbers because there's no MLB guarantee/split contract?

Ron wins the Internet on Thanksgiving Eve. Shouldn't you be putting the turkey in the oven?

Because they're refusing to consider Ohtani. White Sox West...well, actually a much more exciting team at least with Rodriguez.

Why the F--K would Perez get any DH at-bats? He's as much of a DH as Selby ever was...2-3 games in his entire career comprise 50% of his production like Trayce Thompson this year for LAD.

Granderson and Cliff Floyd still out there...

So we should now start a separate possible trades thread? But it is not only that, it’s about the entire direction of the franchise from 2023 to 2025…so there should be a catch all thread about organizational positioning and philosophy? Do the White Sox even have a better one than SoxMachine? Plus, we already have the Tim Dierkes MLB Trade Rumors FA’s thread. An MLB team named another new manager too…but that’s not worthy of a thread either, but a trade that will never happen because of the risk of it completely backfiring on Chris “Risk Aversion” Getz makes it about as realistic as Trevor Bauer to the Sox.

Same category of?

Just goes to show how bad the last two seasons have been that I could care less who will be drafted first in 2025 because its practically guaranteed the Sox will get the fifth or sixth pick and then 10th in 2025. Book it. He’ll either turn into Gavin Sheets or honor his commitment to Oklahoma State instead. https://www.perfectgame.org/players/playerprofile.aspx?ID=530129

Blame James Fox. https://www.futuresox.net/2023/11/16/could-mlb-draft-lottery-present-conflict-for-white-sox/ He wrote Ethan in his article. Pretty sure I had Jackson as title but maybe I was trusting a FutureSox writer too much, lol.
