5/21 Games
Nothing would surprise me but Chris Getz has spoken behind the scenes and publicly about changing their international strategy. I wouldn’t be surprised if they moved on. Either way, most players are already committed for 2025, 2026 and 2027. He has the same title as Jim Thome

Robert mentioned as trade target for Mariners by Passan
He did well in the Dylan Cease trade

Schriffen says he was aiming at “Sportscasters”
Yeah I listened that day too. That’s not what I was referring to about your post. Nevermind

I think you're hearing what you want to hear.

Schriffen says he was aiming at “Sportscasters”
He's a good producer. That's the best radio show in the city and that's not really fair criticism. You can "not like it" but Matt Spiegel has talked baseball in Chicago for like two decades and Danny Parkins is one of the best radio hosts in the country. I don't think Shane should've went after Schriffen publicly because the hosts can handle it on air however. The Sox already don't let many of their employees go on because they're short-sighted and run their business like Larry's Corner Hardware Store. I will say though, 670 talks way more Sox than 1000 does and has better guests doing so. This isn't true. Everyone was rooting for Connor. Schriffen came on the station though and both parties were very courteous. Nobody wants John Schriffen to be bad at this. He just is. He's doing what Reinsdorf wants ultimately though. Hiring a guy who should be Slamball to do baseball every day in market 3 is pretty embarrassing though. Sports radio is still pretty popular here.

White Sox acquire Corey Julks from HOU for RHP Luis Rodriguez, option to AAA, recall Dom Fletcher, Ortega DFA'd
The trade is fine. Holy cow. Corey Julks is outfield depth for a bad team and Luis Rodriguez is nothing. Just pretend it was cash instead. Everything is okay.

I would think $7 million is realistic for sure

Agreed with this. I think it'll be Rainer or Griffin and it'll be underslot.

Robbie Grossman traded to TEX for RHP Anthony Hoopii-Tuionetoa
I still think that trade was good, personally. The draft pick offers lots of flexibility.

Story on Sox trade possibilities...
Are you saying a prospect that will make the Sox top 30 list? They absolutely will with Fedde and Kopech

Story on Sox trade possibilities...
I‘m not sure there’s a team in baseball that could’ve or would’ve paid the prospect price for 4 years of Luis Robert. 2.5-3 could be different though

Sox looking at building in South Loop
The Score is pretty broad though. They have numerous hosts with different thoughts. Most of those hosts were pretty tight with Benetti too. It's not just because of that though. The Sox let one of the best broadcasters in the country leave and they hired Schriffen because they finally found someone to take the job. I think John can be good. It hasn't been a great start though; starting with appearances on Bulls and Hawks broadcasts trying to get fans excited about a team that will be bunting and playing the game the right way. Barf.

The enthusiasm will be cool if they're ever good again but the haters part is super lame. If you're an adult human and using the term "haters", you should probably re-evaluate your life.

2024 MiLB Catch All
Why? I don’t think that’s necessary yet.

Eder could be unbelievable out of the bullpen if they decided to pivot. Too early for that still.

Joe Doyle has them taking Kurtz at #1 and going significantly under slot. I'd be surprised if they took a pitcher. Probably whichever bat in their mix signs for the cheapest. I'd bet on Bazzana right now.
-

Of course they will. Nobody in this class is worth the slot value at #1. Just depends how much $$ they want to save.

We aren’t overreacting to anything at FutureSox. Actually, we have guard rails in place to make sure that we don’t. Where’s your top 30 list?

Gonzalez does have two walks and a HBP

Harris is hurt. Not sure how bad. He’ll be primary catcher in Winston. Burrowes should be in Kanny when he’s ready as well

I don't think they'd pass on either pitcher and I'd be pretty surprised if they took Weatherholt or Bazzana from what I've heard.

I disagree with this. I’m hoping the Sox take one of them. Need home grown top of the rotation types that the owner will never pay for.

Yeah it's not good. Wolkow and the promisingn international class from last year will all start in the ACL on 5/4 though. They've spent so many high picks on pitchers and there's just a lack of talent in their international classes overall which is an issue. The players from the upcoming draft will likely make up the Kanny team in the second half. Wolkow isn't ready for full season ball. He just turned 18. Starting in the ACL is the right call. I don't think he's a prospect. He'll carve in the low minors though as a polished lefty.
