Sox72

This was not well thought through.

Sounds like it would have been more of the same even if we kept him. But I don’t think this is breaking news for anyone that follows the Sox. https://www.sportsmockery.com/chicago-white-sox/gavin-sheets-reflects-on-struggles-with-white-sox-i-lost-my-love-for-baseball/#:~:text=“ I definitely lost my love,what I want to do%3F

Let’s not buy into the narrative that we’ve been sold and perpetuate the idea that the Sox are not a big market team. They very much are (regardless of how they act).

If you can’t get up for Weather Night, you don’t have a pulse.

I feel defenestrated.

It’s embarrassing that this is a thread topic.

I see you also have kids.

It’s in there. You just have to pay close attention: “Once they set the MLB loss record, they're going where no modern baseball team has ever gone before.”

Isn’t this the plot to Major League?

Happy to hear they have the concept of a plan.

Great article! And not the same surface complaints we read over and over. Gets a little more into the depths of thing (inasmuch as possible in a short article).

God, I love this post.

Why am I seeing #20 on MLB? How can they be that far off?

So, Crochet essentially just (potentially) doomed himself to being stuck on the Sox for the remainder of the year, as opposed to actually playing for something meaningful? Who the hell is giving this guy advice?

Meh. Don’t assume based off of one offseason and some dipshit named “Sportsguy.”

No single organization maximizes a player’s potential like the White Sox. I’m all in.

I was going to write “thanks,” but then realized I would just be admitting a problem.

The numnuts on Orioles Hangout are literally arguing over whether Skenes for Holliday is a good trade. They have entered the territory of blindly following their GM and have become an amalgamation of his prospect hugging obsession. Based on that message board, there is no fan base in baseball that is more unrealistic about the presumption that every prospect turns out exactly as graded. Being this close to a World Series and ignoring a 41-year old drought is absolutely absurd. Their unfounded and recent arrogance makes me dislike no team more. (I’m drunk. End rant.)

Likely worth more? He’s worth way more. I don’t know what package Baltimore could put together to pry Skenes away, but it certainly doesn’t begin and end with Holliday.

What makes this 400-page thread so much fun is that both sides know that the two teams aren’t going to be trade partners.

Welcome back, @Rolle Tide. Always interesting to hear another perspective (when it’s not SportsGuy).

Yes. I’m incredibly petty.

Fine. I’ll say it. I just don’t WANT them to help Baltimore. F the O’s! It’s all I have to root for this year.

I just don’t see any way the Sox make a trade with Baltimore. I’m not even factoring them in the discussion right now.

Agreed. There is no reality where I root against them. That being said, my apathy is at a level I never thought possible. I have been trying to follow other teams, but it just doesn’t work. It’s so forced. Also, I do feel bad for the players. Including the minor leaguers, who have hopes of developing their skills and becoming successful major leaguers.
