The Chicago White Sox: An Unending, Colossally Disappointing Tease

Why not, my body might as well join my White Sox fandom deep in that grave 🤣

Toxic positivity is a thing 🤦🏽‍♀️

Give me the diamond sock or give me death!

And are yet to prove they know how to build a winner, period.

This is why I laugh at Passan for even mentioning the word contender in his post. Good sining, positive move? Sure. They are still closer to 100 losses than .500, and a far cry from 'not contenders yet.'

Hahahaha sure (laughing at Pasan)

I'm not convinced that Getz knows it isn't...

Maybe they were lying to themselves about not wasting a year as much as they were lying to us?

If there were any better offer than this last trade deadline, Getz fucked up royally. Even a comparable offer then makes more sense than hanging onto him, and picking up the option only to salary dump him for jack s%*# months later. I know Getz is bad at this, but holy s%*# this chain of events makes my head hurt.

Sox fandom promptly dies from alcohol poisoning.

But, why?

Who? And also, Who?

Yup. WTF is Det thinking?

Depth move for Seattle I guess. I’ll be surprised if he makes it out of camp or even sees Tacoma.

Mariners have top prospects around the infield and just locked up Naylor, not sure what Sosa does for them. And with Julio in CF, Robert’s value to the M’s is diminished, unless he finds his All Star form at the plate.

This. 2029 is still a long ways away, but there is at least some glimmer of hope off in the distance. We have no idea how Ishbia will run things, but at bare minimum, operating like an actual major league team would still be a vast departure from the past decade.

If they are going to rush him, at least wait long enough for the extra year of control...

Sox "aggressive" in mid pursuit

White Sox and signing dudes I've never heard of. The more things change, the more they stay exactly the same...

Bellinger is still a productive player, no? Meaning he would never sign here unless the offer blew every other out of the water? And we know who still owns the team, so we know that isn't the case.

Before draft slot era, thier draft spending could be questioned, but not since. There are plenty of areas they deserve citicism, but spending thier draft allowance isn't one.

I think the dreariness of how games in domes look is the biggest detractor for me. There needs to be ample natural light for it not to feel unnatural. But does that justify nearly twice the cost to have a roof that opens, but is never used? The cost savings make sense. Spend those dollars creating an actual baseball atmosphere inside over drab concrete and fluorescent lighting, and I dont think too many fans will lament a fixed roof in those climates. .

Vegas and TB aren't exactly pleasant to be outdoors in the summer. Does the 1-2 months the roof might be open justify the cost? IDK. And I say this as someone who hates baseball in a dome.

Pete got paid, but this reeks of desperation for the O’s IMO.
