GREEDY

There will be advancements in transportation efficiency before the next ballpark even opens that should alleviate SOME of the parking concerns.

Getz cannot be a fan of Vaughn's defensive ability. He is the last everyday player on the roster that projects as a below average defender.

She showed up to the in-game daycare play room with the kids AFTER her husband was gone and had begun bad mouthing the organization.

This is the ultimate Jerry carrot dangle

Just call the game like a robot for a few years please.

Tim was right. He's not in that Benintendi market.

Very exciting but it is likely just part of the negotiation process to extend his sweetheart lease another decade.

Pretty clear that Getz wants guys that can catch the ball. I'd be shocked if he is penciling anyone in at position "they might be able to stick at".

I lived in Lake Point Tower and I'm like 99.9999% certain Omar had a long term side piece posted up down the hall, and this was before any major connections to the Sox and likely to Chicago. So who knows how many homes he was covering the rent for? But this article is complete trash. Jerry is obsessed with the legends of the game and sent Bob down there to write a puff piece and make sure it reported the charges were dropped against his club. Then evidently someone decided that everything Omar said over the course of two hours couldn't be included. So, instead of shelving the article, because there was literally nothing to say, Boob still published... because the main reason for it in the first place was a reminder that the Sox were cleared. Too bad Omar can't tell his story, I'd like to hear it because odds are whatever he did doesn't deserve a life sentence.

Coach Jimmy ate all the foodie accounts and now possesses all of their speculative powers (Please don't ban me).

He is only included because losers who make up fake rumors know his name.

We Getz what we deserve

Jerry is motivated to save the 67.5M he would have to pay Robert.

This was the style trade the Sox *could* have done the entire rebuild. I can't believe it doesn't happen on a much lower scale, every year. Teams looking to avoid the luxury tax hit could move distant prospects to move a million here or there. Savvy clubs with money to burn could constantly be adding org depth.

You can always spot an educated guess misrepresented as a rumor when the author replies to their own tweet essentially listing all of the reasons they personally think their fake rumor might be correct.... it is like a kid in school showing their work. They always do it, can't control themselves.

?

They shouldn't trade him until all the big names have signed... unless Getz thinks the asking prices for the top FA SPs will come down considerably before they ultimately sign. And that would be a stretch. Why Getz is seemingly pushing the issue now is relatively puzzling. If it is as simple as he'd like to know the return so he can make moves in the market that is one reason you don't do this half ass rebuild while maybe kinda sorta trying to win the Central.

Did the Sox fire any staff that was still under contract? Or retain any staff that wasn't under contract? I feel like this is the most telling sign that Getz is here to balance the budget.

I'm always blown away by the amount of working/middle class people that are paying $$$ (often $,$$$ for a family of 4) to see the Bulls. Not to judge books by their cover but the games are full of people who spent a discernible portion of their net worth to attend. I go a handful of times per year and it shocks me every time.

I can't think of too many scenarios where both couldn't get at least 300 ABs this year if that is your goal. If you can't trade Robert do you still go with Sosa/Rodriguez over Lopez/DeJong? If I'm forced to try to win the central I'd start with the latter.

Even if I had 100 million to spend I think I'm going with something like DeJong, Lopez and Ahmed in the middle infield for 2024. Who did everyone want? I like the move.

Feels like at least three "final call, we are going to trade him" leaks now. I don't fully understand moving him before FAs sign unless there is a grand plan to really try and compete in 2024 and it is necessary to have the pieces in place before Getz goes FA shopping (lol).

I tried to be nice when it is 1000% obvious that you are the one that struggled to understand the data. You one million percent saw that he received positive WAR for his defense and did not realize that all shortstops did. You said: Tim was a + defensively last year despite being an abomination at the plate. Then when you were called out, you went and cherry picked two stats where TA was 15th out of 20 and claimed that as evidence that he was a plus defender? Take your L and stop quoting me. I stand by my take that GMs are targeting Sox pitchers, possibly because the defense behind them was abysmal. I'm not shocked that chubby Sox girl fans are dancing on social media because Bummer was traded, like he was the reason they lost 100 games, but I am surprised that a guy with 11,000 posts on a White Sox message board is fighting to the death that TA had a + defensive season in 2023.

What do you mean... what? You don't care about an individual season stats and then cite individual season stats as your defense on why you are right? Even though he was still awful in the stat you chose? You gotta be bleepin' me!

Just pointing out that 3 of the first 5 "major" pitching acquisitions were White Sox last season. Feels like a trend. Sox fans dancing on tiktok because of Bummer's baseball card stats. I'll take my chances with the Braves and Cards.
