The White Sox are pioneers in the field of negative player development.

Who do we trust more, McCann (who we know prepared for games pretty meticulously) or a guy that Vaughn beat out for a role in the minors? Obviously, it may have changed after Vaughn's rookie year when he's trying to prove himself.

I've never wanted anything more.

I have 0 opinion on McKendry, but when was the last time an agent broke a trade?

tbh, sprinkling in some Sirius here and there on City Connect days wouldn't be the worst idea

Cause Sox drama is required by law to be messy, I'm waiting for the twist to be that Vaughn was only out golfing when Osik was in the batting cages.

Damn, look at that situational hitting by Lenyn Sosa

Updated title since we haven't gotten a rumor in a solid month

I'm the opposite. I think they look better on the field and can now dig them.

Once upon a time it was probably 80 mph

Why can't my man just be healthy. FWIW, in order: Zeke Bonura (233 hits) Frank Thomas (220 hits) Jose Abreu (215 hits) Luis Robert Jr. (200 hits)

They're also injured dudes over 30 trending downwards. They're by definition not in the team's future plans. Them getting injured means they'll have limited-to-no trade value. Fletcher has also found second life in Charlotte, so that's another guy who might come up and need at-bats. You have the over-30s so you can drop them, not so you can keep them and get rid of younger guys.

Slater just had a sub-.600 OPS in 2024, Rojas was .641 in back-to-back years, and Tauchman is 34-years-old and hurt himself running the bases (sound familiar?). If we're including Vargas in the future group due to a hot streak after being one of the worst in baseball for a year+, we might as well include Sosa because he's been on a streak of hitting the ball hard (I wish I could pull the numbers they ran during a game this past week).

In no universe should you drop the cost controlled 25-year-old for 3 injured guys over 30 that are on 1-year deals.

I think it was mostly @chitownsportsfan just wanted to get ahead of making a game thread in case he got busy today.

"Come up with $6 million."

His version was making a play to get called up, which still isn't good. A minor leaguer asking to get out of the org is a whole other level. It'd genuinely be hysterical and pretty much destroy the "Tim Elko is a leader" talking point.

A minor leaguer trying to pull that would be wild. Teams would absolutely start looking at him like a diva.

Am I the only one that wants to see what Vargas' dog looks like?

I'll sign the Sosa-Vargas Compact if Vargas fans acknowledge Sosa's larger sample size of growth.

Elko fans on riot watch

Cuban connection resurgence led by top prospect Venezuelan infielder hitting Slappy white dude at second All that's missing is a masher at first base and suddenly we're checking all of the Sox stereotypes. Summon him.
