Why is he a piece of s%*#, because he has a weird sex fetish? There are probably dozens of people you know or work with or are around all the time who have some weird ass thing they are into. You can disagree with it, but I don't see why that makes someone a "piece of s%*#". If he was found guilty of just straight abusing some woman against her will, absolutely, should be put in jail. That's not what happened here.

Just for fun, lets take a approximate look at 2024 (less arb estimates) Current commitments: $120,000,000 Potential commitments with Anderson, Hendriks, and Clevinger options declined: $85,500,000 Starting Players (2023 bWAR) Catcher: Kory Lee (-0.7) / Carlos Perez (0.0) First Base: Andrew Vaughn (1.0) Second Base: Lenyn Sosa (-0.8) Short Stop: Tim Anderson (-2.0) Third Base: Yoan Moncada (0.6) Left Field: Andrew Benintendi (0.2) Center Field: Luis Robert Jr. (5.1) Right Field: Gavin Sheets (-1.4) DH: Eloy Jimenez (0.3) SP1: Dylan Cease (2.4) SP2: Michael Kopech (0.7) SP3: Touki Toussaint (1.0) SP4: Jesse Scholtens (0.3) SP5: NONE Bullpen: Gregory Santos (1.3), Tanner Banks (0.8), Garrett Crochet (0.2), Luis Patino (0.2), Sammy Peralta (0.2), Jimmy Lambert (0.1), Lane Ramsey (-0.1), Deivi Garcia (-0.2), Declan Cronin (-0.4), Aaron Bummer (-1.0) Everyone in red should probably or definitely needs to be replaced. Its not realistic for that to happen, but its damn near the entire roster. Assuming options are declined on at least Hendriks and Clevinger, were looking at approx. $100,000,000 in payroll commitments without assuming arbitration so most likely higher. And lets just assume they generously get another $160,000,000 payroll budget. That's approx. $60 million dollars available to sign at least 3 starting pitchers, a few competent bullpen arms, a starting RFer, a starting 2B, bench players. This is not going to happen. The 2024 White Sox are shaping up to be quite possibly the worst team a lot of you have ever seen in your lifetime. Simply put, were fucked.

Oh man, if you think this is rock bottom wait until next season. They have so many holes to fill and wont be spending the money to do it. They are not going to be able to improve a 100 loss roster. We haven't seen rock bottom yet.

I don't want to put in the effort to find this answer, so maybe someone else wants to, but when is the last time a team expected to contend for a World Series lost 100 games and didn't replace their manager? Has this EVER happened?

Man if they get Lincoln Riley to pair with Caleb Williams and Marvin Harrison Jr that would be one hell of a shot in the arm.

They already said they’re bringing back Grifol sadly

lol yeah ok Len, Snell is going to skip a start against the White Sox to try and preserve his league leading ERA.

Random thought, but it totally fucking sucks we had to see Frank Thomas play for teams other than the White Sox.

Fields sucks, said it last year and I got ridiculed and called a clown by you guys. Fast forward to today, and you finally see how bad of an NFL QB this guy is. Sure, he could probably run around all day if they let him but he isn't accurate and cant read a defense. I hope you guys do get the #1 pick so you can get a legit prospect. With how bad the Sox are and now the Bears as well, I feel bad for you guys, that's no way to spend the majority of your sports fandom watching total garbage.

Even with Moncada, his last 28 days of .337 / .382 / .972 gives me some hope that maybe he can be good again and if so, hes a very trade-able asset at the deadline next season. But it would be so fitting to trade Moncada to KC for Perez while Moncada puts up a 5 WAR season and KC moves him for some high level prospect(s) at the deadline while we have Perez doing his best Grandal impression and on the books for 22 million in 2025.

Perez realistically is on a 2 year $44 million dollar deal as a 34 year old catcher. I do think the worst thing we could do this off-season is either take on that entire commitment without trading anything of value OR take on even half of that commitment while also giving up something of value. Between Carlos Perez, Kory Lee, and Edgar Quero we have options at the catcher position for next year and beyond. There is no reason at all the bring in an overpaid under-performing catcher when we are going to need at minimum four starting pitchers just for the big league roster. The only way I could even stomach this move is the Royals covered the majority of the contract and took nothing in return, which, seems like a longshot as Balta pointed out earlier.

Everyone should get a good look at the game today, this is what you're in store for next season. Unless of course by some miracle JR opens his checkbook up to sign four starting pitchers, were going to be running these bums out there everyday with the exception of Cease and even that has been looking questionable lately.

Because hes a reliever

I hope they trade Colson or Noah for him.

Don’t worry, Clevinger is all they have the scrubs are out for the next 3-4 games

It makes no sense to me at all why Sheets and Andrus continue to get starter playing time. Who cares if Sosa or Rodriguez hit .100 for the remaining handful of games, get them some experience and a good look at them at the MLB level.

I doubt he cares. He’s been pretty average the second half of the season.

So we sent him down to play Gavin Sheets in RF the rest of the year, fuckin dumb

Close, Tim Anderson is technically the WORST on this team by bWAR

This is a fitting sentence for the majority of this roster, so sad.

Man, that Chiefs team has no talent on that offense outside of Mahomes and Kelce. None of those guys looked good at all. I guess that's the price you pay when your QB takes up $40 million of cap space.

I just went to go double check what I said to make sure I wasn't talking out of my ass and yeah, Toney dropped a wide open ball with room to run at the Detroit 35 yard line. If he just catches that and falls down, the Chiefs either score a TD or kill clock and kick a FG. Toney had an absolutely brutal game.

The Lions won the game, but I would hardly say they looked like contenders. They scored 14 offensive points going against a mediocre defense who by the way was missing their best player. The Chiefs meanwhile were also missing their best offensive skill position player and SHOULD have won the game anyways if Kadarius Toney could catch a ball. I like Dan Campbell, hes a great motivator, but he makes some dumbass decisions. Going for it on 4th down at midfield at the end of the game there was just dumb. Again, if Toney catches a wide open ball the Chiefs win this game and your post is never made.

So is it safe to assume you do not think Tim Anderson is on this team next season?

Guys, we've had our own Burger this whole time and you didn't even realize it. Last 28 days... Moncada - .346/.377/.568 - 4 HRs 14 RBIs Burger - .348/.398/.573 - 5 HRs 14 RBIs
