Luis' option didn't need to get picked up. That was money that was never committed, but Getz was determined to get value for Robert after years of striking out on it. If he never picks up the option they can just go ahead and get Sandlin/Hicks. We'd be missing...Acuna.

Saying Getz got him in the Robert trade is just giving cover for Jerry being cheap. But Sandlin looked real fucking good.

Any continued Luis Robert kvetching can go in the former Sox thread.

Nishida needs to start bunting properly for them to increase attendance though.

I think they scored more runs in this game than last season

powa

The true Ichiro clone.

Sandlin is cooking, damn.

This is the most wack thread currently active.

I was assuming the most recent "era." Limiting it to just that, Luis was also a good player for the Sox, he just couldn't stay healthy. His rookie season and 2023 were outstanding. Expand it to the Sox entire history and it's no contest - no foreign country comes close to Cuba when it comes to having an impact on the White Sox.

Jose Abreu erasure is crazy. There are also two Cubans on the active roster.

He was too good to be true.

Universe literally telling us to fall in love with Nishida.

Get the strikeout out of the way now.

Splits over his last 7: .250/.280/.613 Over his last 15: .234/.302/.664 If this is him playing well, I'm terrified of him playing bad.

Kelenic fWAR with Sox: -0.1 Madrigal fWAR with Sox: 1.8

We also had a years-long Kelenic Appreciation Thread for when he was on other teams, hence his meme player status.

We have a Kelenic appreciation thread around here somewhere.

Non-Kingdom Hearts reaction: Anytime the Sox get close to returning to sub-.500, a sacrifice must be made.

Reason that I prefer Contreras over Thome as the vanity pick.
