You really think he will make his MLB debut in early 2024?

9/6 4th Place Sox at 5th Place Royals
9 - 14 the rest of the way gets them to 100 losses. Has to be a lock at this point, going to be real close. 4 vs Royals (2-2) 3 vs Tigers (1-2) 4 vs Twins (1-3) 3 vs Nationals (2-1) 3 vs Red Sox (1-2) 3 vs Diamondbacks (1-2) 3 vs Padres (1-2)

Fire Chris Getz
How are we not, were going into next season with one starting pitcher and he has looked like hot garbage recently. They wont spend the money to fill 4 spots with competent arms. Its going to be bad.

Well they aren't rebuilding either, so what exactly are they doing then?

This is a great post. How much wasted money is going to be spent on patches to a 100 loss team with a mirage of competing in 2024/2025? Not to mention the decline in value of whatever assets we could have traded at higher returns. The only positive I can see is, this team is almost surely a 90+ loss team again next season so maybe they pull the plug on the competing shtick sometime next season. I would be concerned if they had a chance to be middling around 81-81 but they are so bad the rebuild hand will probably be forced.

Lynn (1) and Burger (6) on biggest trade impacts,One month later, according to MLB.com writers, these look like best Deadline deals
What you are saying should happen is not something that the owner of the White Sox would ever allow to happen.

I don't think there is anyone who would rather have Moncada over Burger. The problem with this scenario is the White Sox are stuck with Moncada for a minimum of one more season and their boneheaded roster construction left them with only Burger as a realistic trade option. This idea that the White Sox are going to move on from Moncada seems to be pretty wishful thinking to me. They aren't going to cut him. No one is going to trade for him and just take on his salary. Were stuck with this guy for at least another season unless he is traded for a salary swap and those options are probably pretty slim.

Fire Pedro Grifol
Its sickening that he is going to be back next season. This team has completely quit on him, you can't bring that guy back. You just cant.

It’s a bad trade because in 5 starts in AA he’s been bad. Ok.

So now we’re just giving him war to justify not liking the trade? Big deal, he’s at 1.9 thanks to a totally unsustainable run with us. It’s ok to believe in that but already give up on a prospect. Sounds right.

I like that he was moved. I don’t believe in him as a player and would much rather have the chance of a starting pitcher.

JR owes it to White Sox fans to win now, so that's what were going to do! Awesome! So were going to make a big FA splash? Nope, off the table. Ok, well we need 4 starting pitchers were going to make some moves to bring in established SP through free agency? Nope, not going to commit to those years. Hmm, well were going to sign some players? Maybe, depends on how much it costs. More likely we will trade from the ABUNDANCE OF TALENT on this roster and farm system. How is there no one in this organization or in JR's life that can sit him down and say "Your franchise is an absolute disaster, please clean house if you want to try and salvage what you have left."

The press conference thread
Would there be any other organization in baseball that would retain their coaching staff after a 100 loss season in a supposed contention season?
-
The press conference thread
Yep, no one could get a gun past the security team. Oh, except some fatass hiding a glock in her fupa.
-
The press conference thread
JR started this thing off by saying the cops told him they haven't ruled out the gun was fired from outside of the stadium.

The press conference thread
The best thing for this organization would have been to conduct a REAL search to allow some outside person a year to evaluate the organization. Instead, were going to try to compete next season with an unqualified GM, a terrible roster, and while not spending any money. Good luck assholes.

Sox place Clevinger on waivers
I think he has to. If he Opts out, he gets $4 million and if he has a strong finish will almost surely get another contract that, along with the $4 million from opt out, would exceed what he would make if he opts in.

I think you can safely speak for all fans with this point. This team failed miserably and the solution was to fire the guys in charge and promote another guy who is just as ingrained in that failure as the guys who were just fired. Its bullshit.

lol what makes you think they would even entertain the idea of doing something like this anyways?

It is what I am talking about. You can put me in the group that thinks if you didn't touch the ball it shouldn't be an error.
-
8/30 GAMETHREAD Gibson v. Cease
How do you give someone an error on a ball they just whiffed on. Thats like charging errors to people taking bad routes on balls.
