No idea but Watson has always been part of the old boys club so possibly. I hope Levine is making it up. I doubt it though.

Bruce Levine is very good friends with Gene Watson. It's very likely true. The White Sox are fucking idiots. Salvy Perez can't really catch anymore and he posted an 86 wRC+ last year with -0.3 fWAR. This whole thing is absurd.

Nah Boston is toast. He and all of the other Ken Williams spies and lackies will just vanish into the ether

I think it’s a new position. Teaford was only involved on minors side

My fault. I had that saved in my quotes for some reason and it posted both.

Greenberg is Scott Harris’ best friend. I feel like Sox fans would complain about the nepotism

Wechsler was the area scout but this is a Mike Shirley production

Their two best prospects are high schoolers.

I wish all of the “struggling” Prospects posted a .400 OBP and 122 wRC+ in the Southern League

On this board or rationale people?

I think they trade him this winter

Yes. Especially after the AFL

Here is "midseason" top 30 prospects list: https://www.futuresox.net/2023/09/07/futuresox-2023-midseason-chicago-white-sox-top-30-prospect-list/

We didn't rank Chapelli but I should've included him in just missed. His numbers are better than they were. Oops.

This 100%. Complete nonstory that everyone is freaking out about

I’m fine haha

I'm not buying any of it. There's no way this club is competing next year. They'll trade Cease and TA this winter and possibly even Eloy imo. They could be solid by 2025 if they do it right though.

Sure you can. SoxMachine entered into a partnership with us via a lease agreement. We spent 18 months together working collectively. Our original agreement has expired and they decided not to continue the partnership. We are both now back to being independent entities.

Oh yeah this is true. My mistake. It was essentially a one year, $12 million deal. The White Sox will decline.

It's very disheartening because of the insular nature and how Jerry Reinsdorf is afraid of outside perspective. Getz could be good at the job though and it's an improvement solely due to the fact that there's a single decision maker instead of KW/Hahn where none of us knew who was doing what. Getz is going to bring in multiple outside hires. Changes to scouting, PD, etc are coming. I don't know that it'll work and he's definitely not the best candidate but I don't think he's destined to fail. There are lots of solid prospects in the high minors, assets to trade in the big leagues and money to spend. They'll be bad next year but there's a real chance to win again in 2025. I thought Getz was fine yesterday and on both radio stations. Reinsdorf was a disaster but at least he talked.

If Clevinger opts in, he gets $8 million. If he opts out, he’ll get $4 million and can easily make $4 million more. The White Sox likely decline as well. He won’t be on the 2024 White Sox

It’s the latter but it’s still a good idea. Model teams have gotten rid of scouts. Boots on the ground scouting still matters. It’s one reason why their drafts have been solid of late. Hiring more scouts is a good thing.

Burger was at the alternate site. I saw him in person multiple times. It’s when I was convinced that he’d play in the big leagues There are others in the system thinking similarly. Last few drafts have been solid and Andy Barkett is good at his job.
