the habitual losing formula............trying to find the less smelly item out of a dumpster

they're good at that - Clevinger was anything else

I totally get not spending in 2026 since who knows what will happen. Sucks to be a free agent after this season.

I'm not sure I will either unless successful is not losing 100 games.

Eh, Reinsdorf is still in charge. He has a habit ruining things.

It seems since ASB this teams has hit more HR than all of last season. I don't remember it being like this last year.

That would be the case if they ignore the 9 game lead.

Not spending in 2026 doesn't bother me. I think many teams are going in that direction.

They haven't been playing good lately. You can't treat the Sox lightly since ASB

Is this the 1st time they've won 5 in a row this season? the sad part of seeing the highlights is it looks like a game played in 2020.

I think he does to a point. He's brought in some outsiders. Who knows maybe he has a longer leash then the KW.Hahn. As for free agents no one will have that carte blanch.

The fine print has an exclusion when JR decides to be GM - see TLR

or traded for the next dumpster dives, future DFAs, while paying over 3/4 of his salary. Sox seems to always have a log jam at DH because of poor defense.

I think so considering Crochet only works every 5th day. Imagine if they got 2 pitchers and 2 fielders instead?

really? You haven't seen enough of those? It's the buffoonery of baseball. I guess you could follow that AA bench warmer who can't even live up to the dumpster dive player and say "at least we don't have Robert". No shortage of weak trade returns to satisfy our trade fenzy from over exposure of being a habitual losing small market team.

The way the Sox luck runs it will turn into being weak at catcher. The one that stays either gets hurt or turns into the typical bust and the other will be another player who got better by not being a White Sox. Imagine a tandem similar to Grandal and Collins.

team control as in helping the team be in control of being bad there so many terms today that try to replace the word suck

There's that old Cub saying wait till next year - most likely another 100 season but we will be giddy if they only lose 99

is it so much the team beating the Sox as much as the Sox losing to a team

but it satisfies our trade frenzy we ignore the history of failure. That failure is always not able to recognize and develop. Bad teams do this all of the time. It's that habitual losing syndrome fans accept. We look at the "science" but not the results. I think a A'[s fan suffers the most. Look at decades of players they never keep.

many are forced too if they don't coddle certain players

Still a bad idea.

I can't agree with this. Many are kids making professional money. There's a reason why many great players wont or stopped coaching.

You see a lot of 1st round guys drafted SS or OF. (more athletic) I still don't understand why any team would take their worst defensive player and put them at 1B. They handle the ball more than anyone else which means greater chance for error.

Long before Getz. I wonder how many of them along with coaches are JR's untouchables.
