Winder is pretty nasty fwiw but he’s not gonna go deep

Yeah a twins win to keep their hope alive is pretty damn important today.

Or, just tell the guy he has 2 options: 1) step away from the game for good for medical reasons; or 2) get publicly fired tomorrow. But rejoining the coaching staff isn’t an option. That’s what a well run organization would do. Alas..

Yeah. The whole “he’ll be joining the team on it flight back to chicago” bit is the dagger. Cannot believe they’re actually going to let him back in there dugout. Jerry is a fucking idiot.

Yes. Sox need to go into that stretch with a couple game lead. KC also isn’t awful, they could easily win 2-3 of those. But your point remains.

Would be awful nice to have Twins win one tomorrow. At least Cleveland catches the Angels next series with Trout on fire and team playing better. Thursday afternoon game is going to be massive.

Josh has the yips or some s%*#.

I mean….

Guessing it’s just to get Romy a day. I’d prefer to see him play for sure, but it’s not a huge deal.

Tony doesn’t deserve to ever step foot in that dugout again. Now let’s go twins. Man does that feel dirty to type.

But but but they’re winning “for Tony”!!!!!!!

Bump

I am one happy son of b****.

Hope twins and guardians play 20 tonight

Lol wat hahaha

It’s not up to the front office. If it was, Hinch would be our manager.

They were a vibrant young team that played with fire coming off a playoff berth looking like a juggernaut for the next half decade +. Now they’re lifeless and boring, just like their manager. Injuries and lack of a finishing roster moves have played a big role, but so has Tony. Pal.

Everything with respect to the Chicago White Sox is in significantly worse shape than it was the day Tony was announced manager. He was an awful hire that somehow got even worse. How anyone that has paid attention can defend him is beyond comprehension.

Yeah, Jazz and Gimenez are really the only two that make sense from the Sox perspective. Of course Sox would need to add to that deal as both are controlled the same as AV and MI >>>> 1B masquerading as an OF. But Gimenez is never getting moved inside the division. I do feel a bit like Jazz offensive profile isn't too dissimilar from what we have (high K rate, low BB rate), but he does bat LH at least and was really good in limited sample in 22. He'd be a great guy to add to the mix and certainly fits our team better than AV. Just not sure how much the Marlins would need added to that deal to make it work for them. Maybe something like AV + Ramos gets it done. If Ramos can't stick in the IF and there are questions, they should move him this offseason while the stock is up.

Just cycle thru Romy, Mendick, Sosa and Yolbert until one sticks. No need to spend further $ on 2B. Leury will also still be on the roster, unfortunately. Other option is turning AV into a similarly controlled LH 2B that better fits the roster but I struggle to come up with that name.

Let’s go royals! Clase BS!

Is Robert can't go, I'd much rather watch Payton play than Engel or Leury.

Yes, I missed a 0 on Pollock's salary when entering into the spreadsheet. That's my bad. I am at $139M on the 13 committed salaries, so yes basically same place as you. Though Sox could easily find $5M for a 5th SP by non tendering Engel and Ruiz, or just not slashing payroll by a measly $5M. Point is, they have $20-30M to spend on an OF and 5th SP, or Abreu and whatever is needed after the trade package received for AV. I certainly prefer to see them go the let Abreu walk and sign Nimmo route, but think Sox are more likely to give Abreu 2/$30M and trade AV for a SP, unfortunately.

Sox need 2 OF, not 1. Colas is one corner, another OF in the other. Sheets and AV should be nothing but emergency OFs moving forward.
