I didn't know it was that severe.

8/20 Game Thread: White Sox vs. Giants - 8:45 CT;
Says it all. But, he will be a cornerstone of our infield next year.

White Sox @ Giants: 8:45 Central Time Start
Offer him a lower amount. My point is the infield will be awful next year.

White Sox @ Giants: 8:45 Central Time Start
Sox holdover infielders for 2025 include Baldwin, Vargus, Sosa, Ramos. Senzel and Lopez probably non-tendered. Maybe not Nicky, we'll see. Geez, I'm depressed.

White Sox @ Giants: 8:45 Central Time Start
Snell pitched Sunday, so Sox won't have to face him.

Hagen Smith to High A
White Sox Wet Dream is a staff headed by Crochet, Schultz, and Smith

8/17 Sox @ Stros 6:10PM
Plus, Vaughn's brain fart and Baldwin's botched double play relay.

Sox claim De Los Santos, IL Wilson, recall Varland
Your arguments aside, why bother with DeLos Santos?

I guess I stand corrected. Thanks.

Can the sox have the best farm system in baseball after the deadline
Is that true?

8/16 Sox @ Asterisks 7:10 PM CT
Gotta hand it to Beckham. 2 outs in 9th inning, Altuve at bat with 2 strikes, and Kuhl throws a fastball high and very tight. Gordo said, "perfect pitch." Next pitch was low and outside, Altuve waved at it. Game ova.

Leone to 60 day IL with UCL sprain, Matt Foster back
He's had an 11-year career. One good year, as a rookie in 2014. Somehow, he hung in there. I don't know how. Not pitching skill.

Leone to 60 day IL with UCL sprain, Matt Foster back
Is it? He keeps his salary. I can't weep for Leone.

MLB Pipeline comments...
It's not very invasive. Delicate, yes. Back in 2007 or so, there was a real good shortstop who played for Braves and Dodgers. He had the herniated disc surgery and was back playing pretty quickly. Todd Helton had same condition at same time and chose not to have surgery, and it took him a long time to recover, with hours of therapy, I'm sure. I also had the same surgery, and I can still operate my remote today.

I'm sure that's why neither KC nor NY were interested in keeping him.

Sox planning more playing time for Vargas/Fletcher
Back in the 90's, Lou Piniella said something to the effect that a good Manager can win a handful of games a year, but a bad Manager can lose a dozen or more.

MLB Pipeline comments...
It doesn't take much to encourage me, but the obvious flaws in our ranking so high is that Montgomery, now in his 4th season, is flirting with the Mendoza Line and Schultz only throws 60-65 pitches per week.

MLB Pipeline comments...
So, Sox are the antithesis of Padres. They have a dozen shortstops to pick from, we have none.

2024 MLB News not AL Central related
He is Rainman.

2024 MLB News not AL Central related
A young player who caught my attention is Xavier Edwards, who plays alongside Burger for Marlins A young shortstop who hits. No wonder they let Tim Anderson go.

Is there a starting MLB Shortstop in there?

Benintendi
Left Field at Fenway was perfect for him, both offensively and defensively. It's not surprising that his best years were there.

Jake Burger trade
The two Principals who engineered the Burger/Eder trade are both out of baseball.
