To start the season, I hope it’s: Fedde, Soroka, Flexen, Crochet, Nastrini Tanner Banks and maybe Deivi Garcia as long relief. Send Thorpe to Charlotte for a month

Regular game- 3p NBCSC Prospects- 4p on Marquee

Hope to see the prospects tomorrow. Weather could be a factor unfortunately.

I know you were probably joking a bit, but looks like the calendar is setting up to be Fedde, Soroka, and Flexen getting the first series vs Det. I don’t think Soroka will face the Braves.

Remillard with a ground rule double. Probably outplaying Mendick this spring, but we’ll see.

Sox win total will be in the 60’s. They’re bad, but they aren’t going to ge historically bad. There was no effort last year. The effort level, even with this team, should get them to 64 wins.

They will, unless you know something about the weather that nobody else does. From the pitching perspective, it’s just going to be series to series, and a ton of up and downs from the minors. Baseball is a bad place when it comes to pitching. Jeez, wonder why?

I’m just glad he’s not going to start anymore. This is a step to get him off the team. Everyone knows he needs to move on to a different team.

By my count, the Sox have 50 players in big league camp. Only 16 appeared in a game for the Sox in 2023.

I’ve been assuming all along the bench is Stassi, Mendick, Pillar, and Moustakas or Sheets.

Bailey Horn was optioned yesterday too if that wasn’t noted. 50 left in camp 29 pitchers

The “all pospect “ games are starting this week. On Friday, regular Cubs/Sox is on NBCSC. The Prospect Cubs/Sox game is on Marquee at the same time.

I know they have to give Kopech every last chance, but I’m really looking forward to the day he’s out of the rotation…or on a different team.

Optioned means they’re on the 40-man. But they’re all going to the minor league camp.

Funny. Love it.

Yes, it’s unusual that there’s only about 17 days until they know who’s going north, and there’s still around 70 players in big league camp. 5 of the next 6 games are away from Glendale, so maybe they’ll just wait until next week to clear a ton of players out.

If they gave it their all with the current roster, maybe high 60s. With more trades coming in July or earlier, I’ll go 58-104.

RIP Stacy Wakefield, pancreatic cancer Two kids, over 18 but under 21 This wasn’t a surprise, but still really awful.

At the very least, they need establish a reliable offseason schedule that ends with players that are supposed to be reporting to camps in mid-February to be signed by February 1. Maybe just shut down the game after the World Series for 5-6 weeks, with exception of announcing awards. Have the GM meetings when the Winter Meeting usually happen. And then have the Winter Meetings in early to mid-January. After that, if you’re a free agent, get signed by 2/1. Obviously there can be other rules for older guys that are non-roster invites, but the cream of the crop free agents should be in camp on Day 1.

He was on the Sox last year. DFAd in the offseason, outrighted, and was invited to spring training.

The White Sox apologize for all of the spit take damage to your devices.

Good luck with the Red Sox

70 in camp

Cool. Chavez is a good dude.

Too bad his middle initial isn’t T.
