I know its hindsight but he really should have been traded after 2023. The "He's too valuable to trade right now" has turned into "Im not sure we can even give him away right now". He's an immensely talented player that has spent the last 2 season surrounded by total garbage. I honestly don't think he cares either based off body language. Could be wrong, but it sure looks like that's the case.

Robert is cooked, there's no way we get anything special for him at this point. I just don't think he cares playing for this horseshit organization.

Yeah, Taylor the plus defender who took a little league route on a ball that led to a triple earlier lol

Meh, this team is just as bad as they are outside of 3 fluke games.

You're not supposed to put your most strikeout prone player leadoff?

See, that would make total sense as to why the lineups are terrible. Especially considering where they're probably coming from.

Man what's with these shitty lineups.. Meidroth 5th? Thaiss has been one of the better bats so far, 9th??

Am I missing something here, only 10 day IL for a torn meniscus? Shouldn’t he be out considerably longer for that?

First game I don’t get to watch this season, figures.

Good lord this team is awful, how did anyone fool themselves into believing they would win more games than last year....

I don't care if they lose 120+ again, but I will be frustrated if we don't see the kids come up as soon as they get the extra year and have to watch these AAAA vets for the bulk of the summer. If its going to be a disaster, at least start getting the kids experience.

Hell, even if we just get competent starters out of Teel, Montgomery, and Meidroth I think we will be OK. If one of Teel or Montgomery become high level, even better. That will go a long way with what we currently have and the high draft picks we will be adding over the next 2-3 years.

I really don't think you could have asked for a better return than what we got. This trade you can hang your hat on now I think. The only thing that would sour it is if, for some reason, Teel, Meidroth, Montgomery all completely flame out which would just be unfortunate. The Cease trade is the one where, hopefully, in 2-3 years were saying "Ok, we actually did pretty good here".

As of today, I am going to assume Robert stays with the team the entire season and then has his option declined at the end of the year which is just devastating based on how everything started with him.

This is exactly my point. Thank you. Obviously if he tore his Achilles or broke his leg that’s a different story.

lol ok buddy

Very. That dude is a b**** if that’s not some tear or break.

Unreal, that better be pretty serious to not at least stay touching the bag.

The White Sox will always win this trade regardless of what happens simply because they would never have signed him to an extension and he would have walked for nothing after 2026. Having an ace for two 100 loss seasons really means nothing. The options were trade him or take a comp pick. They chose the right option.

Literally loses the perfect game the very first batter he faces after this post. Well done.

Oh wow, they first reported he had been rescued.

Im just accepting that after the last rebuild failed, JR decided to sell and the team was setup in a way to help facilitate that. Not cleaning house and doing a legit search for a guy to run the baseball ops and gutting the payroll are just setting this up to transition to the new buyer. That's the only thing that makes sense to me.

Yeah, I do my best to not listen to those morons.

This organization is in desperate need of a complete uprooting. Everyone should be fired and bring in someone to build this thing. Too many half measures leaving traces of the same old s%*#. Reset button please, it’s sorely needed.

This is what happens when you don’t bring in an experienced back end guy. Holy hell, we go with Fraser Ellard followed be Leasure? Yikes.
