Wow I didn't watch (no ESPN) and thought 2-0 lead going into the 9th would be a Brewers win. Another pen impersonating the White Sox.

Terry Francona reportedly hired by Reds
Funny how both Central divisions the owners that are like that. The sad thing the worst cheapass is in the large market. The Reds and Pirates always look competitive until..............the trade deadline.

If the D'Backs fired one of theirs you waste no time getting him. Meanwhile Katz has nine lives.

How can they even catch Minn in 3-5 years?
As you can see people will bring up other organization did this or that bt the reality it's the White Sox. I doubt anything is gonna happen like other organizations unless you want to throw in the Marlins and A's.

Their might achievement might be 70 wins within a decade. You can run analytics all day but still have the wrong people making decisions.

Getz would trade him to make Birmiingham better. Also the best way to leave the Sox organization is to hire Boras as your agent. Having a Vargas is a plus to Jerry than a Boras client.

Organizations notice. You wonder why he didn't have a contract, Senseless machoism in baseball is not desired.

Leadership Lessons From The Chicago White Sox’ Ignominy: Forbes
Yet the sun may also rise again someday for the White Sox. Because baseball’s most intrinsic charm is hope. Hope might take decades. The scary thing is Jerry might still be there. I often wonder if new owners would make some drastic changes in the front office. The GM is an epic fail but yet replacing people is not easy since you would have to lots of interviews. New owners would have to do a ton of research and if they don't it would be worse than Jerry. If spreadsheets are more important than winning then do the planet a favor and stay out of it. Imagine if Getz had to interview for his job. I doubt boasting about the Barons is going to cut it. How could he answer or that "culture" guy as to why players get better when they leave. As farm director is good enough to be on the non interview list. Plus I doubt the blame game would work either.

2025 Projected Arb Salaries (MLBTR)
Hard not to laugh at this. How many posts are there with Kopech with the same thing? It made the team worse and will for 2025. Trade is a bad word for Sox fans.

They should find a prisoner on death row and give him the option of being a Sox announcer.

Rare is a worse move. JR is a lot of talk but so out of touch with the fans. Many owners are though.

The Mystery of Luis Robert
we seen that already with Fedde and Kopech. It's fearful thought of trading him. I get it of there is a Trout or Judge in this organization. They've had a hole in CF for a long time and will create it again.

I never understood drafting a player who physically can only play one position not named catcher. I've come to the conclusion that it can't be any worse by replacing a bad player usually becomes that it actually is worse.

Another overrated theory in baseball. Misconception in most sports. He's a trademark of the KW era that the weaknesses can be coached out of a player when it comes to defense and base running. Modern baseball seems to have this habit of dumbing down 1B. Anyone can play it. I don't agree since they handle a baseball as much as anyone else. Having a stud 2b helps. Oh wait that's another big hole the organization has.

Took you that long? I thought the Sox of 2021 ever better than 93 wins.

I hope the Tiger spend some money next season. The Sox and Twins will be the armpitomy of cheap ass organizations.

Wildcard Round
I doubt he ever walked a hitter with a 1-2 count or continued to play a lousy player because he hit some good foul balls. It will take at least a decade for the Sox to be meaningful. That's Getz idea of patience.

Wildcard Round
Meh. How did that work out for the Twins. Yet CLE didn't have the best record against the Sox. Didn't the Sox beat the Braves a couple times? No matter what you have to beat the worst teams because it will always haunt you. See 2024 Cubs, D'Backs.
