It could be a total lie, Grifol could be fired at the end of the season and they're just being nice. it's not like they would announce he's being fired while he's still managing for the rest of the season lmao that would be cold

what, Cease should be dealt immediately by someone competent to try and stock the farm immediately, and probably Robert as well this team is gonna be so bad for the next 3 years, might as well get the rebuild started

The poison pill.

I wouldn't be surprised if the Sox are owned by someone else next year Is it just a coincidence that the story about the team being moved/sold happens 24 hours before both top execs are s%*# canned?

Just snipe everyone from TB and LAD that you can get your hands on

I should bump all the posts I made the last 5 years saying if we stop going to games and spending money on the Sox, change will happen and being ridiculed for it lol "Not going to games isn't gonna get anyone fired!" *Sox set a record decrease in attendance in 2023* *Both top execs fired*

if it means an owner who's number 1 priority is to win, f*** it. 2023 sucked the last bit of 'hardcore' out of me the future is so bleak, it's gonna take a massive shakeup for anything to change. if that means they're moving the Sox some place with an ownership group who's top priority is to win, I no longer care where they play I've been watching Orioles games more often than Sox games the last 2-3 months, with zero desire to watch the Sox but this talk about them moving the team is moot, that will never happen in our lifetimes

I doubt he's this bad next year. doesn't make the contract good though, still an awful deal in hindsight (a lot of us wanted him)

the more public embarrassment the better imo

how does a person root for this team Grifol, Hahn and KDub all have to go, that much is obvious What hasn't been said nearly enough is the rest of the coaching staff also needs kicked to the curb immediately

it's the same system as the NHL right? lottery for the worst teams, prevents intentional tanking, at least that's the reasoning

lol it won't make a bit of difference where Kopech is slotted in, team is gonna lose 100 games next year

lmao ?????

what time is the deadline?

50/50 chance, I think if TA is traded that'll signal the demolition crew is coming, same with Robert or Cease

giddy up

The White Sox are like that glass of Coke you let sit out the day before, you know it's flat and disgusting but like an idiot you still take a sip and then act surprised when it's awful

not sure if I'd pony up the kind of money that Lucas is gonna get, his velo drop is legitimately concerning

are we seriously gonna continue letting Hahn bury this franchise into the hole he dug for himself, there's gotta be something actionable we all can agree on that leads to his ass being fired. I refuse to believe that we have no say whatsoever this one guy has singlehandedly destroyed a large market franchise that's been around for over 100 years, f*** Rick Hahn we should all call the score and espn1000 one after another and just air our grievances im mad, this is the first time I've ever actively watched another baseball team and im not happy about it

Robert is such a streaky hitter, I could easily see him flipping 180⁰ next year and being very mediocre at the plate. Sell high on him if you can ask for whatever you want

what's the alternative, given the current ruleset of the game we are playing Rule #1: Working with a handicapped payroll Rule #2: Unwilling to sign pitching FAs to long term deals Rule #3: Zero organizational depth and zero player development What's the alternative if we don't blow it up, when they seem to be set on deflating the payroll for the next couple years

Quickest path to contention in my eyes is to blow it all up and restock the farm with universally recognized top prospects, if I was the GM id be asking for the moon for Cease and Robert right now. I'd probably hang onto TA until next year, or even consider signing him to a very affordable extension. that way, if he bounces back next year you have another opportunity to beef up the farm by trading an affordable TA who's also locked up

2024-2025-2026 were automatically going to be tank years if this core didn't perform, the only way to speed up the transition to success is to stock the farm and try it all over again. they were never going to do the retool approach like the KW years, those days are long gone

I'm enjoying watching the orioles lately

should stop paying any mind to this team, they don't deserve your attention at all right now
