Was it Brent Lillibridge by any chance?

Imagine that the owners were motivated enough to offer a “grand bargain” for a salary cap and floor system. MLB (Luxury Tax) salaries across the 30 teams will be $6.087 billion with average spend of $202.9 million. Any proposal is likely to have to guarantee an increase in total spend, in other words the players as a group will likely need a meaningful raise in order to give up what they consider their crown jewel. Of course, an increase in MLB payroll is only one component of a grand bargain, other components might involve changes to team control of players, roster sizes, minor league compensation, MLB and MiLB minimum salary. — Jay O. The owners clearly would like to be able to implement a salary floor and cap with the idea of offering players more of a share of the revenues to get an infrastructure in place like the other major sports leagues (NBA, NHL and NFL). This would include a significant increase in floors for small-market teams and a significant raise for the minimum salaries. Jom Bowden The Athletic White Sox only need to spend about $115 million to get to an average mlb payroll level lol.

85% of fans would be bitter. Sosa Cubs/Sox jerseys? Good luck. Cubs' fans wanting to wear Cease or Q Garland and or Eloy jerseys? Red Sox fans definitely don't want to see Bergman's name anywhere. The only one I'd buy would be a Clemente Brooklyn Dodgers' one.

Witt Jr. off to a very slow start. Until now.

Reportedly swings RH, but perhaps Getz project ing the need for a switch hitting approach.

Hey, the A's are a talented young team on the rise!

Alek Manoah In golf, it was David Duval that just lost it.

Then you have that controversial $2.4 billion pe injection from California as well....10% media rights share. Seems USC Michigan UCLA Oregon are all fighting for bigger pieces of the pie but the lower tier schools like an Iowa or Nebraska would still receive $110 million injections. You can see the hands of Saban Meyer and Texas Tech mega booster all over the Trump proposal trying to swing balance back to the SEC/Big 12. Read somewhere that Iowa this season had an $8-10 million war chest for men's bb after being in the $1.5 million range under Fran McCaffrey. With Pryce Sandfort they could even have had a shot at title but probably still come up short. The Athletic currently has 11 of Top 25 women's bb teams for 2026-27 from BIG. Not just barely making tourney, but Top 1-6/7 seeds. USC has last three players of the year in Watkins J.Davidson S.Hall on roster. UCLA will reload.

Especially with Detroit on the precipice of 4-9 and a four game sweep at the hands of the Twins. Anyone in the division but the Sox could win or at least get the wild card. Twins have already had an MLB leading 36 at bats with the bases loaded somehow this season. 3-1 Twins/8th inning.

That was a very quick conversation and obviously offered him the job. With Grady, it took a little bit longer, but he is someone that I targeted.

https://www.mlb.com/player/tristan-gray-656484 Tristan Gray was going to finally retire if he didn't win a big league job this spring....White Sox didn't give him much of a chance. https://seattleontap.com/blogs/sports-on-tap-seattle-blog/from-retirement-talk-to-grand-slam-the-tristan-gray-story-nobody-saw-coming%3Fsrsltid%3DAfmBOop189-VxbBDhocLzM8m-mqKdqRWjHvTvsNg01Q-FyWN56SM3iwr&sa=U&ved=2ahUKEwiavdb5uuGTAxXiLLkGHRiPBycQFnoECAQQAg&usg=AOvVaw1mRYJGp5VCi9cJjtjAU3jw Less than two weeks ago, Tristan Gray was having a very different kind of conversation with his wife Madelyn. At 30 years old with just 122 Major League plate appearances under his belt after nine years of professional baseball, retirement wasn't just a thought experiment anymore. It was becoming a real contingency plan. Then everything changed in 24 hours. The next day, Gray got the call: he'd made the Twins' Opening Day roster. By Friday, he wasn't just in the lineup. He was hitting a grand slam in the home opener against the Rays, capping a seven-run seventh inning and sending Minnesota to a 10-4 win at home.

Tatis and Semien staying with the Sox, along with Chris Bassitt... Then you have Lopez Gio Sale Q Crochet Rodon Cease.

White Sox would simply argue not a priority...they slrrsdy have two big league catchers better than combinations on all but 4/5 other teams.
