lol could you imagine the scenario where the Sox have to decline Roberts option. I would have put big money on 0% chance that happens.

They'll be just fine. They will get the 10th pick in 2025 and then have the best odds at the top pick in 2026.

Listen I didn't want Tony LaRussa managing this team but there is no way he is responsible for all of these players busting. They all continued to get worse even after he left the dugout.

Where are they going to pull 20-30 wins from? We will more than likely be without Crochet and Robert. There are no difference makers in the system that will be ready for next season. They aren't going to sign any difference maker free agents. And this is to just get to 60 wins. Woof!

I don't believe he wants to win. Nobody who truly wants to win says it doesn't mean it was a bad year if you finish 3rd or 4th. People who truly want to win would be disgusted with finishing 3rd or 4th. You think Kobe Bryant would every say some s%*# like that?

Realistically, nothing changes with AJ Hinch as manager. Our assets all depreciated, who from our core and prospects didn't become worthless? Cease and Robert? We also have an owner who refuses to bring in difference makers to supplement that core. It goes far beyond the terrible decision to let LaRussa lead this team. In an alternate reality though, the Sox hire Hinch. They land Harper and Wheeler. Our core continues to blossom and the White Sox are the class of the American League and we have another championship or two by now.

I can't see a path to winning 70 games next season. Especially if they trade Crochet and Robert in the off season.

Ill die on this hill, but if the Sox would just poach people from the TB/CLE front office and said "Do the same thing here you do there, but you also get a $180,000,000 million payroll" the White Sox would win this division or be right in it every single year. I don't even understand why JR won't entertain this, he could probably even go lower on the payroll and still field a profitable and competitive team every year.

It sucks, but im taking a lot of peoples performances this season with a grain of salt. This is just a toxic mess of a situation to have to play in every single day. Example, the other night when Benintendi inexplicably just let the ball drop out in front of him and the rails went off Wilson's outing. He should have been out of there with no damage, but ends up giving up 5 "earned" runs. Season is going miserable, they obviously get nothing from Grifol. Its just no good all around.

Yeah, I don't see this going well tonight. Hes been terrible in AAA. Hope for the best though.

Man I would have loved to be a fly on the wall when Getz was telling JR how flawed the roster was and all these great things he was going to do to quickly turn this roster around. What a bozo.

Ahh, welp I understand what the means.

I’m pretty sure he mentioned he had cancer. It wasn’t caulfield because I never read any of his incoherent nonsense so I wouldn’t have confused that.

I’m pretty sure @WestEddy mentioned he was dealing with some serious health issues so hopefully his absence isn’t due to that and he’s just finally been broken by this lousy team and needed a break.

DFA is extreme, but this isn’t some guy who came up and stunk in a handful of games in his debut. He’s had a decent amount of run so far so there’s definitely reason to be skeptical about his future.

They’re still a team 20 games under .500, we’re going to win another game eventually this the best odds for a while

There’s no way they get swept by Oakland, I refuse to believe it

He’s got 450 plate appearances how much rope are we talking about here?

Yeah the problem is this team is nowhere close to being competitive and having someone with no clock started for a few years is so much better than a guy who is going to be surrounded by trash in a bad situation on this MLB roster trying to develop. Not to mention he’s been terrible in his MLB stints.

They were willing to deal one of their top prospects, a top 100 guy, and possibly more but the Sox decided to move off from it. This was for Fedde.

I really hope that rumored Twins deal was BS

Yikes

At this point you need to just shed all of the people with no future here and find out what you got in house. No faith at all they actually do this though.

I wish he’d go on a long road trip and never return.

He better get his s%*# together, but him turning into a bust would at least be par for the course.
