I just have no reason to believe that a deal is coming.

I'd be pretty surprised if Luis Robert is moved prior to opening day

I’m on their side with Comcast though. Putting them on the higher tier doesn’t help anyone. I can’t believe anybody still uses Xfinity for cable

For sure. Two more high draft picks and a Robert trade return should help though.

If the Sox aren't competitive in 2027, something went really wrong. They have a top 5 system no money on the books going forward. It would be a huge problem if this prospect core ins't in the big leagues to close out 2026 at basically the latest.

Dan Berstein basically said that the Ishbia money will severely decrease the ask from the state in regards to The 78 and there's movement on that front. Said there's no current deal or something for Ishbia to take over but it's obvious that Ishbia isn't dropping Twins just to help the Reinsdorfs build a stadium.

Many people seem to be saying this. I just think when push comes to shove, the owners won't have the stomach to give up the guaranteed money that comes with playing the 2027 season. Even with a prolonged stoppage, a salary cap is never happening so it's a pointless fight.

The White Sox need up the middle players because they're expensive and they'll never pay for them. That shouldn't be a controversial opinion. I also don't think Taylor will be the BPA at 10.

Here's our article by the way: https://www.futuresox.net/2025/02/24/ishbia-brothers-increase-white-sox-in/

He can but he's left field only unfortunately. I'm not sure I'd even take Taylor at #44 Maybe. Wake Forest hitters scare the s%*# out of me in that environment though.

The White Sox pick at 10 and 44 actually. Minor change but wanted to be accurate.

Are we sure that Melody Hobson is involved at all? I think Ishbia will have the majority of the non Reinsdorf shares most likely after this.

I'm not sure about that. Bench of Carson Kelly, Justin Turner, Jon Berti and they need a CF.

Yeah I don’t know about this. It doesn’t seem like Jerry is giving up control anytime soon based on everyone I’ve talked to. Ishbia has to have some assurances but I don’t think this moves quickly.

Sounds like it’ll be a bit slower but it’s indeed good news. I think many people haven’t read the articles because of cancelled Athletic subscriptions.

Justin Ishbia isn’t backing out of Twins deal without some assurances that he’ll eventually assume control of the White Sox. He just wouldn’t. It makes no sense. Regardless of what the White Sox say publicly. It might not be soon though.

Yeah it’s from Reifert.

Definitely seems like part of it What do you mean?

Not that anyone cares at this point but I've heard he'll compete for a bullpen role.

His teammates seemingly don’t have any issues with him. I believe this is true but it’s still pointless. Even if you don’t care about the public blowback, there’s no upside. You can’t even flip this guy for anything. Just a pointless signing.

You know what deal probably makes sense for both teams? Mike Tauchman for Alexander Canario. Now that would be fascinating.

How do they acquire him though?

The 40-man isn’t the issue. Carrying him on the 26-man roster is.

Maybe like a Nick Nastrini or something?

They’ll absolutely claim him on waivers. Someone else will probably trade for him before that though. That’s the issue. Should the White Sox be the winning bid? I’m not sure about that
