Surely not worse than Moncada's first full season in terms of K rate. And at least he has already proven he can be a Top Ten HR slugger simply by coaching himself up.

Grandal move looking worse and worse....never give a catcher in their 30s more than 2-3 years.

Cease will never be worth more and an injury would abolutely destroy the franchise.... Will punch Hahn in the face if he so much much as suggests competing again for the AL Central with Dylan anchoring the rotation in 2024.

https://www.baseballamerica.com/players/16765-juan-carela/ Carela 29th ranked Yankees' prospect...from the Dominican. Six years younger than Burger. Was once described as having Micker Adolfo light tower power. Hahn couldn't go for more than an hour without another DH to replace Burger Grandal and likely Sheets.

Baseball is an entertainment business. The White Sox are the exact opposite of entertaining...unless it's in a comedic, fun bad way.

They're going to manage to keep Hahn from spending another $40-50 million with all these relief arms added...should have also gotten that Sampson kid the Cubs quietly dealt.

Cordero, Jimmy and Wil?

Todd Frazier might unretire...

Gavin Sheets working out at third this afternoon in Arlington....apparently played the position on a travel ball squad in Grade 9.

Morosi had him after Robert on the list of players the White Sox should keep...assuming he knew Benintendi was stuck with the Sox and vice versa.

"Patino showed flashes of brilliance during the 2021 season, but his 2022 campaign was derailed by oblique and shoulder injuries so it's unclear how much he would be capable of contributing." https://www.tampabay.com/sports/rays/2023/03/07/rays-luis-patino-tyler-glasnow-shawn-armstrong-curtis-mead-phillies/ Rays’ Luis Patino wants to show everyone who he really is Notes | The right-hander is healthy, throwing hard and determined to bounce back in what he admits is “a big year.” Breaking News: Miguel Cleto named new pitching coach?

His last name is Sisco or Poreda?

Unprecedented financial flexibility. Finally...

Go Padres' farm system! Rick Hahn will redeem your rep in the end. Also, surprised no Francisco Mejia to corner the catching market after not developing one in decades. (No, Zach Collins doesn't count!)

The White Sox have sort of developed Sale (not really), Rodon and Chris Bassitt in a decade. That's it. And they will probably be implementing a new pitching lab (finally) with Katz (likely) leaving...so not much trust there in Hahn and Getz. Go back earlier you can add McCarthy and Hudson....so five successes in almost two decades.

Can add Marlins to Padres Reds Royals Dodgers/Puig now lol. Only another decade or two (Hahn must be 52ish) and I will have been forced to follow 28 other teams (not the Scrubs like Ron) out of sheer boredom since the White Sox and AL Central are basically irrelevant.

Yeah. Assuming Moncada gets hurt yet again this year or misses most of next year while we're on the hook for $29 million...it won't be all that much fun to watch Romy Sosa Remillard or Popeye Rodriguez play 3B.

Then we have a SS problem. If you're going to build a team correctly, you need to shore up catcher and middle infield first. If they were actually considering Sal Perez...it means they're trying to compete and rebuild at the same time. Seems to me we have already watched that show on a loop from 2007-2019.

I don't recall Gavin ever being Top Ten in homers for all of MLB at any point in his career.

They're pretty much eliminating anyone for fans to cheer for in 2024 other than Robert... How many season tickets are buying or not buying over the likes of Cease and Bummer? Maybe Anderson for some...but they're practically begging for Burger to continue proving them wrong.

They're not going to be competing next year without any power or positional player health...so just get it over with and trade Cease to the Orioles and call it a retool on the fly if you want.

Who is going to play third base in the future?

Any relation to Willie McGee?

Morel has more detractors than Burger over there...I can't remember what happened with Wisdom.

That's why he is probably the most unpopular player with a 900+ ops I can remember. That and walks/OBP aren't sexy to most non-analytics oriented fans.
