Only the Sox would hold a fan fest event at the ballpark, outside, and in the coldest month of the year.

What prospects could the 30th ranked farm system offer?

Then they’re a bit ignorant to how trades work. Cease isn’t going to be given away for nothing. All that matters is what the Orioles FO views his value at. They got slapped in the playoffs because they failed to add to rotation talent, and it’s not exactly like there is a can’t miss option in the FA pool. Cease had a rough year last year but the stuff is still there and his 2022 performance was elite. If they want him, pay up.

Kjerstad would be my pick.

It really feels like Jerry is running the Fisher playbook on the Sox - getting as much of the fanbase to erode away so it's easier to move the team out of Chicago.

This organization is such a massive laughing stock nationwide. Congrats Jerry. What an amazing accomplishment.

I was really surprised out of all the trash trotted out last year in the OF they didn't even bother to look at Reyes. He had a great year (even if it was Charlotte).

Tony Kemp for 2B. Too perfect of a White Sox "aging veteran" move.

I think they truly want to shake up that clubhouse. Tim will find something whether it’s at SS or 2B.

You’re stopgap until Monty is ready. At least he plays solid defense. Sad thing is his production would be a huge upgrade compared to the shitshow we watched last year.

Wait, they actually hired a guy who was known for the stuff that he will be in charge of? What madness is this?

What happens is I go on a 24 hour bender celebrating.

I thought I remember seeing that Hahn nearly moved Tim right before KW traded Burger. We had real smoke around Cease right up to the end too. But considering the two guys that were responsible for this years deadline are gone, I think it's too soon to really know what this new FO are planning on doing. I'd guess Tim is for sure gone. And I think they'd like to jettison Moncada and Eloy too just based on their lack of work ethic.

Saw this earlier today. Certainly is interesting, but not enough to make me want anything to do with the guy.

He’s hoping the Sox pick that option up because he isn’t worth it on the FA market.

Bannister might literally tell them to stay away.

Yep. And he honestly might be a positive influence for the clubhouse. But what is really worrisome to me is what the Sox will give up for him. No chance in hell Jerry takes on that contract, which leaves Getz with the only other option of trading valuable assets to get salary relief.

Lucky for us, Father Time remains undefeated.

Not even close.

I honestly think we may see a historic loss season next year.

The Sox won’t get anywhere near the top rotation arms available this year. Nola would be a pipe dream. They are going to shop on that classic C list group and sell it as quantity over quality.

I don’t think it’s just the velo drop. The league has adjusted to him as well. I think teams realize or know what to look for and just sit on a pitch. There’s a handful of guys who lose velocity late in their career and learn to pitch better or differently to compensate. He hasn’t done that IMO.

Seby is no loss.

Tony was the worst manager I’ve ever seen. I’ll never get over the decision to walk Turner when he was down 0-2. That was the ultimate brain-dead move I’ve ever seen.

Sox had to wait 10 days in order to call up Remillard again. It was just a formality.
