Do you really think they will lose 110? Are they that much worse than last year?
Going with their all defense and players who swing w paper towel roll for a baseball bat combined with their uncertain rotation and current bullpen as constructed I see them losing 105 games. The losses may not be as bad or as frustrating as last year but they are definitely going to add up.

Probably, although looking at the bottom of that line up and considering Fedde and Soroka are 2-3 in your rotation, this thing could go South in a hurry.
I think saying things COULD go south quickly is giving them too much credit. It’s more like WHEN they go south.

I’m starting to think the White Sox are unaware of the tanking rules, and still think they have a shot at the first pick in 2025.
This would not be a surprise. It’s mid July 2024 when a reporter points this out in a sit down with TLR and he then says well you must know the rules better than me.

They aren’t signing him for what he does on the field at this point. Im fine with it, they need guys who aren’t afraid to call guys out.
Call who out though? At some point you have to sign someone to be apart of your core moving forward and all they are doing are signing veterans to 1 year deals who won’t be on the team in 2025 when you see some of the younger kids start to come up at the earliest? I just don’t get it

He hasn’t had a WAR above 1 for years and has only once in his career had a wRC+ above 100 a single time.
Awesome. 😆
But he plays defense…..

Fine by me.. give Cease some good D (no homo)
Doesn’t do much good if you can’t score some runs. Losing 3-1 or 4-2 every day with a bunch of guys who can’t hit will make for a long year

I get it he’s a paper pusher but damn how many Kansas City Royals is this team going to hire. Absolutely ridiculous to continue to bring in people from that s%*# organization

We’re fortunate to play in the AL Central…what a crock of s%*# and a loser mentality. So damn tired of hearing this quote from this organization over and over again. Yet, they will still find themselves at the very bottom of the worst division in baseball.

One thing that came out after he was hired, I believe it was from Levine, was Getz fundamentally disagreed with a lot of Hahn’s personnel decisions.
Easy to say that now after the fact when the majority of his personnel decisions flamed out and he is the one guy within the s%*# show organization to not only stay but get a promotion.

Teams are going to see one of the most durable starters with elite stuff who has already flashed dominance over a full season despite being part of one of the most behind the times organizations. An anonymous Astros’ front office exec called Cease their “dream acquisition” at last year’s deadline.
Well hopefully there is more people out there like that than not. Problem is I don’t know if the Astros had enough juice in their farm system to make that acquisition. It seems like Baltimore is the ideal fit for a trade but their GM either is a prospect hugger or doesn’t view Cease as that type of guy at this point.

I’m not sure I follow here. Our payroll was like 7th in 2022 ($200M+) and still above $180M on opening day last year. It’s disappointing that he actually cut payroll last year, but a competent front office would have had plenty of dollars to work with. I hate Jerry with all my heart, but it’s not fair to expect him to spend like the Mets, Dodgers, or Yankees.
The real issue is how we’ve allocated those dollars and that’s where Jerry becomes problematic. He’s risk adverse and doesn’t like committing huge dollars to individual players. Unfortunately, this meant no stars for us during our window and a lot of money spend B & C tier free agents. Additionally, it lead a GM already with a massive hard-on for relievers to go hog wild in free agency on them. No team has gotten less for its free agent dollars than us.
Also, I’m pretty sure Jerry has complete control on how much we spend and who we spend it on. Maybe he can’t go deep into the red, but his partners don’t really have voices on any real decision making.
Until you can spend 100 mil on a player in the 3rd largest market in the country you can’t cry poor in my eyes. If you can’t do that in today’s game you need to get the hell out of it. Yes they spent a bunch of money on mid level players, so while they spent money they did so poorly but only because JR refuses to allocate the money to the proper star player I.e. Machado or Harper. Those contracts now just a few years later look like a bargain comparatively speaking. I don’t have the article or link to it but JR or reporters have said that the Sox spending is not solely a Reinsdorf decision. JR whether using his business partners as a crutch or it’s a real thing has always looked out for their bottom line. Not saying they should spend year after year like those teams but anyone defending the unwillingness to land a big fish is just crazy at this point.

Counterpoints well taken. I didn't realize that AB had never played RF in the majors. Christ. What a great acquisition for 50 Million, a Left Fielder with almost no power and he is no speed demon out there either.
Sox viewpoint on him is he wasn’t a DH or 1B playing in the outfield so it was a win in their books. Also played for Grifol so there’s that

They wanted Jorge too but he’s an obvious 4th piece to me
Not sure what to believe. I’m sure Baltimore is their ideal trade candidate but they haven’t heard the names they want to pull the trigger. Same with Atlanta.
You think a team will end up caving to Getz demands? My worry is teams view Cease projections more off his last year performance and his runner up in the Cy Young season as more of an anomaly than looking at it as what he can bring to the table year in and year out
Grifol's pre-season opening thoughts...

Pedro is a moron. This team won’t be relevant again until both those clowns are gone. I don’t want Pedro anywhere near Montgomery Ramos or any of the younger players.
