Hyperbolic much? No one is calling Elko the savior of anything. Wanting to move away from Vaughn and give Elko a shot when he's tearing up AAA is perfectly fair.

How incredibly myopic.

Surely the demand for Dalbec will be so low that Boston will be able to sign him to a minor league deal and not need to immediately open a 40 man spot by claiming him.

It will be interesting to see if they keep playing Rojas at his best defensive position or continue being stupid and screwy with the lineups.

And then what happened? 😆

These uni's are hideous, I'm sorry. An all black with red trim and the Bulls style Chicago across the chest would look so much better.

Hopefully wandering into Dan Ryan traffic...

It would take a GM as incompetent as Chris Getz to trade *for* Andrew Vaughn. Poor defensive 1B who have never cracked an .800 OPS and are trending downward for the second consecutive season are in such high demand afterall.

Dodgers burned through his options because he was continually bad after getting multiple opportunities. Let's not pretend that he hasn't gotten ample opportunity. Developement isn't linear so of course he could sustain this, but his track record suggests otherwise.

Getzy signed a a guy who can't his his weight, can't play SS, and whose best spot is 3B as "veteran insurance"... I love me some Josh Rojas but he was always a square peg here with the players already on the 40 man. But lets not question the wisdom (or lack thereof) of our infalable GM...

Polanco is having a nice bounce back year so far at the plate, but can't play the field or hit right handed yet, nor can he play every day as he works his way back to full strength. He was so bad last year though that picking him up as a flip candidate would have been risky.

Whoooo boy. Where to even begin. Fans want a game day experience nowadays, which is why the ballpark villiage concept is thriving. The fucking Cubs, who've enjoyed the benefits of the neighborhood for decades, even build their own. If that doesn't prove the point, I don't know what will. I live in Bridgeport, and there is less to do here now than there has been in years past. I've always wanted to see the area around the park developed to give fans more of an experience right here, but that's just never going to happen at 35th & Shields. As for the sea of empty lots, almost ANYTHING would be a better use of the land, which sits empty except for a few hours, 81 days out of the year. Nicole Lee was in fact elected after being appointed to finish out Patrick Daley Thompson's previous term. She was appointed by Lori Lightfoot in 2022, and won the 11th ward in the 2023 Chicago election. The White Sox are a major employer on the Southside? For 81 games a year? Where in the f*** did you come up with that nonsense? 35th & Shields is a ghost town on off days, away games, and during the offseason. Not exactly feeding the local economy or providing gainful employement to any of the locals. Also, nothing stops the White Sox org from continuing any charitable work or investment in the Southside after moving a few miles north. We aren't talking about a major relocation that would sever ties to the Southside. I get that your whole bit is to be contrarian, but maybe get your facts straight and quit parroting the mistruths others post here.

Completely agree. He was an easy non-tender last winter and after a month he remains a DFA candidate. I just don't think Getz will admit to another pricy mistake yet.

And they wanted to hand him the OD starting SS job...

He'll definitely get a leash longer than a month with his arb number, whether it is deserved or not. I might be projecting, but Captain Panic needs a player win and he can't go admitting a pricy mistake so soon, so unfortunately we are all stuck with Vaughn sucking.

Getz didn't draft him, but he did waste nearly $6M on him after a lengthy track record of him being bad. I think the latter has more to do with why he's still here.

The 1st Amendment also doesn't protect an individual from the consequence of their own statements, be it in the workplace or on an internet forum. It also doesn't give one permission to lie with impunity nor does it entitle one to to expect their lies and mistatements to be taken at face value or as fact.

Ooof. Pretty sure I was at that game. I definitely remember it feeling like Ozzie giving the org the middle finger.

New Hat>>the Chi city connect. But the jerseys look like a cheap lazy Bulls themed giveaway. I know Nike is mostly to blame but these are so hideously amateur hour.

Completely agree. He's the type of guy we should be taking a chance on. I just find it amusing that the Cubs chose a shitty Nicky Lopez instead.

We can only hope to be done with Maton, but I have no doubt we'll see him in Chicago again soon enough.

So Getz grabbed the guy the Cubs DFA'd in order to sign Nicky Lopez. Huh.

Oh hale Better not to ask...

Subracting one from infinity doesn't really improve things.
